Continental GP 5000 S TR Tour de France - Limited Edition Road Bike Tyre

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Tour de France - Limited Edition is the special Stealth variant of the Grand Prix 5000 S TR. It features completely black logos for an extra sleek, modern design which will suit your extravagant bike especially well. Continental is so sure of itself that it's chosen to omit brightly coloured logos from these tyres. Their performance and the victories they've achieved speak for themselves...

For the absolute best performance
The Grand Prix 5000 S TR is the ultimate tyre for performance-oriented cyclists looking for absolute speed. The updated manufacturing process leads to 50 grams less weight compared to the Continental 5000 TL, and the 'Lazer Grip Technology' was used to roughen up the shoulders of the tread of the Grand Prix 5000 S TR. This gives the GP 5000 S TR optimal grip when cornering. This laser profile also improves the airflow around the tyre for improved aerodynamics. Plus, these tyres can be used tubeless, up to 5 bar and with hookless rims, which reduces your rolling resistance to a minimum.

More stability and comfort
The Continental GP 5000 S TR's carcass has also been improved. That's why the GP 5000 S TR has good stability in corners and at high speeds. The tyre also has an Active Comfort layer. As the name suggests, Active Comfort enhances your riding comfort. This layer absorbs shocks and dampens vibrations from the road surface without affecting rolling resistance. In all, the Grand Prix 5000 gives you a comfortable ride with optimal rolling resistance.

Excellent puncture resistance
To top it all off, this Continental tyre features a Vectran anti-puncture strip, an additional inner layer that offers increased protection against punctures. According to Continental, this strip reduces the chance of punctures occuring by 20% compared to its predecessor. In this way, Continental makes a considerable contribution to the durability of its Grand Prix road bike tyres. With the Grand Prix 5000 S TR, you'll be as fast as lightning and as light as a feather!

Black Chili Compound
A perfect blend of polymers, especially designed soot particles and filling materials ensure a great performance in terms of grip, rolling resistance and low amounts of wear on your road bike. The carbon particles used in formulas for tyre compounds for road bikes and mountain bikes guarantee a performance advantage. They're pushing the limits of rolling resistance, wear and grip.

LazerGrip technology
Continental has treated the edges of the Grand Prix 5000 S TR with a laser. The laser profile has optimal adherence to the road for better grip when cornering. You can really feel the difference at high speeds and in wet conditions!

Active Comfort
A shock-absorbing layer has been applied under the surface of the tyre. This Active Comfort layer dampens vibrations from the road surface. The increased comfort allows you to cycle in an aerodynamic position for a longer time and gives you an unparalleled cycling experience.

Vectran Breaker layer
The Vectran Breaker layer is a puncture protection layer underneath the tread. It provides high-end protection without negatively affecting performance. This anti-puncture strip prevents sharp stones, twigs and shards of glass from penetrating your carcass into the tube. With it, you'll enjoy enhanced puncture protection. Various Protour teams continuously test the latest technology to offer reliability to the consumer.
