Reviews over the

Continental Grand Prix 5000

Great tyre, all the improvements you'd expect over the 4000sII. I bought a 5000 because I heard they run a bit truer to size (smaller) than the old ones and I had some very minor clearance issues on my old tyre. These do run smaller and the new one fixed my problems.

The best Conti tyre just got better and what's not to like, especially with the great service we love from Mantel. Highly recommended.

Pros & Cons

Great tyres at an unbelievably good price. Fast rolling and very sticky.

I’ve been a long term very contented user of 4000sii, latterly in the 28mm size. For background I’m an experienced rider, I ride long distance but I’m not a racer. My review is on the non-tubeless 5000 tyres in 32mm size. My riding impressions are based on a comparison between the 28mm 4000sii and 32mm 5000 tyres. Interestingly they both measure just over 31mm on the same relatively wide H Plus Son - The Hydra rim. The newer tyres may yet stretch in use but at present it seems Continental appear to have re-sized their tyres. I don’t have digital scales but on rudimentary scales the 5000’s measured slightly under manufactuer claimed weight. The tyres went on the rims relatively easily, I was able to fit them without the use of tyre levers. I cannot say I’ve noticed the claimed lower rolling resistance as both tyres feel very fast to me but I have no reason to doubt the scientific testing data that I’ve read. I can however report the improved comfort is definitely noticeable and very welcome, (65psi Front, 70psi Rear, 80kg rider). This removes my only real criticism of the older tyres, whilst comfort was good there were definitely more comfortable options available. Traction and cornering grip on the 5000’s is excellent; wet or dry. I’ve only done about 500k on the new tyres, they remain unmarked which is very impressive given they’ve been used through the latter part of a British winter. It’s clearly too soon to rate for wear/puncture resistance but no issues so far.

Pros & Cons

Excellent tyres. Excellent service. Shop here anytime you want something

In my limited riding on them, best tyres I've used. Normally Conti gp4000 and Victoria graphene used.

Pros & Cons

Put these on in place of specialised turbo cotton tyres , more punctures than I care to mention , and so far these are as responsive and look and fell very good Defo’ recommend them

Was s big fan of the gp 4000 II and equally impressed with these: sticky and stealthy looking.

Pros & Cons

I have always used gp4000s11 and decided to purchase these tyres in 25mm and I'm not disappointed they have excellent grip and I have found myself cornering quicker and they roll great even at 90 psi and they are very comfortable. They are a lovely looking tyres and look muck blacker than the 4000 s11

Pros & Cons

Absolutely brilliant. Not had a puncture since their release

Pros & Cons

Just changed from Pirelli, more stable and tougher sidewalls

Easy to fit, great price. Great handling.

I have used the superb Continental GP4000’s for years, and they have never let me down. So when I saw the GP5000’s released, I knew where I was going next! They have not disappointed...500 miles with no punctures, they are fast, grippy and instal confidence even when I got caught out in a good British downpour! They are a tad expensive...but so far worth every penny.

Pros & Cons

Love the grip and absorbs more shock than my old 23c's

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

THE PREDECESSOR WAS GOOD ENOUGH BUT THE NEW ONE IS EVEN BETTER !

Very happy with these tyres. They roll really well and seem more than cap8of handling these poor British roads. Purchased 28inch and the price was quite competitive.

Pros & Cons

I've ridden a few hundred miles on these tyres, with other tyres I've used before I usually notice small slits after each ride with these new tyres so far I've noticed none, I've also had to do a few emergency stops causing and noticed no patches due to skidding. I've had no punctures yet

Pros & Cons

Had the 4000gp which were fantastic, these are even better. 500 miles and no problems, good in wet and dry. Nice tread pattern and logo on the side. Recommended.

Pros & Cons

Brought these after coming of tubeless as wanted a change. Before always used Conti gp4000 11 4 seasons and loved them . The 5000 are just as good to early to tell if they are better they feel fab and stick to the road

Speedy delivery from Mantel. Tyres have so far proven well - first ride out was the Birmingham/Midlands Velo .. 100miles with no hiccups is what you want/expect from any tyre ?! Good speed , certainly at least on par with the 4000's. Easy fit to wheels too.

Pros & Cons

My wife’s been riding 25mm 4000s and they’ve been really great so, when my tyres needed replacing I was keen to try out the 5000s following the years of development and favourable reviews and they’ve lived up to my expectations - I went for 28s for my endurance bike and I have to say they’re awesome and I’d thoroughly recommend, especially now they’re becoming more affordable, great purchase!

Pros & Cons

These tyres were a great price and look epic. After a couple of ride they were worn in and now are really grippy give great control. I'd definitely recommend these tyres.

Pros & Cons

Glad we found this retailer. Can not fault price, product, service and delivery- thank you!

Pros & Cons

First class tyre with a hard wearing tread

Pros & Cons

Bought these as replacement for gp 4000s2s that had worn and started to pick up punctures. Very happy with these new gp5000s, haven't noticed them being quicker but I'm my opinion they are certainly feel more grippy, time will tell on the puncture front but first 150mile passed with no incidents.

Overall, the Continental GP5000’s are well made and live up to all the claims Continental has made. My only criticism is the fact the tyre Brad is extremely tight to the rim. I had to take it to a local bike shop to get it sorted.

Pros & Cons

Knocked 2mins off my usually 20km loop couldn't believe how good and big a different race tyres make as I never had them before Savage upgrade.

Pros & Cons

Great tyres. Low rolling resistance and seem durable.

Pros & Cons

Bought these in folding non tubeless version for a set of Mavic Cosmic carbon 40's, easy to fit, very good grip, great rolling resistance and puncture resistant so far.

Pros & Cons

From the first turn of the wheel these feel like a real quality item and 650 miles on they are performing even better than I expected -they really do inside confidence in handling and riding through crap on the roads a great purchase !

Pros & Cons

Easy to fit to the rim as its quite flexable. Great grip and a nice looking tyre.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Not had the chance to do a lot of riding on them but so far they live up to the hype!

Not much to say really, another quality tyre from Continental.

I got these tyres to replace vittoria zaffiro pro's and they are a marked improvement. I cant describe the rolling resistance or anything scientific, I just know from Strava that I have increased my speed with the same effort. I would highly recommend these (I have the tube version, not tubeless).

Pros & Cons

Always used the gp4000s2 before and had very little issues with them. Decided to buy some new tyres, the gp5000 has just come out and the price at Mantel was not to different from the 4000 tyre. They look nice on the bike grip well and are easy to fit.

Pros & Cons

Guys, one of the best tires ever. Many thanks again.

Pros & Cons

Rapid tyres, done about 1000k on them now with no regrets...or punctures. Great service from Mantel and smashing improved tyre over the GP4000!

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

For me, these tyres are a revelation, so much so I think this is my first ever online review! The rolling resistance is very low compared with anything I've ever had. Too early to say about puncture resistance but for such 'slick' looking tyres after a month of commuting and some longer rides there is no real damage

Pros & Cons

I got these tyre and waw they are defiantly quicker, better rolling resistance and the grip is out of this world. Just remember they will be tight (TOP TIP) get some Park Tool TL-4.2 Tyre Lever Carded Tool and they just slip on a treat. I bought them for my new campagnolo scirocco and they have transformed my giant bike to an other level. The price of mantel is the best on the internet £69 for 2 tyres and postage.in the uk they are £40-£60 each plus postage. well done mantel i will be buying a lot more off you.

Pros & Cons

Got so much confidence when racing with these, stick to the road in all conditions and feel fast!!!

Pros & Cons

Roll like a dream

The ride and handling on the GP5000 genuinely surpasses the previous GP4000! Despite my initial scepticism I have to admit this tyre has progressed.

Quality tyres. Bought due to strong recommendations from others. I’ve had two poor Conti 4S tyres - lasted less than four months each - so I was reluctant. They seem so flimsy and light when compared to other tyres, yet they are fast and roll really well. Very impressed so far!

Pros & Cons

So far so good, one long ride and no issues so far, seem at least as good as the GP4000s but not yet used them in race conditions. Very happy so far.

Pros & Cons

Too early to give it a detailed review, having only covered 200 miles, but so far so good.

Great tyre from the first ride could feel a marked difference in comfort and rolling speed. Was Previously on 23m 4000s but the 25m 5000s will be my new go to tyres. They feel fast comfortable and sure. Now been on them for 6 weeks and still happy to use them way into the winter month as well all in all a great tyre.!

Pros & Cons

First 500 miles covered and all good. Having changed from GP4000s which I was very pleased with, these had a tough act to follow; but they seem to roll faster, grip better and so far no punctures.

Pros & Cons

Had a puncture in 1st 100 miles, but just above the rim, so can't see any tyre would have coped. Feels more planted in corners, rolls well, I can see why people prefer this to the GP4000 SII

Pros & Cons

Had the GP4’s previously and found them great, this is even an upgrade from them! Awesome on the corners especially during descents.

Pros & Cons

I have run the 4000 gp for many years and found them to be excellent . This upgrade is as usual a quality tyre but with new tech to bring it bang up to date. In short the best value for money tyre out there

Pros & Cons

Bought these for my winter bike and thought I’d try out the 32mm version. So glad I did. So comfortable and skims over bumps and uneven surfaces. Makes ride much more comfortable.

Pros & Cons

I road these for the first time at the Worlds Sportive in Yorkshire and punctured first time out! I bought hoping their lightweight would also have a higher degree of puncture resistance but to be fair it was an atrocious day raining for most of it. I rode all last week in Kefalnia and they were superb! It’s very mountainous so the lightweight combined with responsiveness and grip made for some exciting riding. I would recommend and will now try with latex tubes.

Pros & Cons

Originally I was looking to purchase the GP 4000, mainly because it was a little cheaper but I decided to try the 5000. Brilliant tyre and so. easy to fit on my Kysrium sl wheels. Speedy delivery from Mantel so what’s not to like.

Pros & Cons

Pretty much always use Conti tyres . Have had many GP400sII and always found them great . A heavy tyre ruins a good wheelset and the GP is light and responsive . I use them all year round too and rarely get a puncture. Best tyre bar none

Pros & Cons

I loved the previous Continental Grand Prix 4000 S tyres but it’s brilliant that these Grand Prix 5000 tyres are an update to them. I bought them at an excellent price from Mantel, so I am very happy!

Pros & Cons

Upgraded from grand prix 4000 II, still the same great tyre, incredible grip and braking performance, also it seems that the rolling resistance has been improved, no puncture so far 1000 miles.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

I finally wore through the stock tyres on my bike and needed replacements, I did have Continental GrandSport tyres but wanted to upgrade to the GP5000 tyres after hearing good reviews. Mantel had them at the best price and I’m really glad I bought them. The biggest thing for me is that they provide a superior ride quality to my old tyres, this was noticeable from the first few pedal strokes, they just smooth out the road and make riding a joy. Great grip and traction upon breaking too, I have a lot more confidence in my bike now.

Pros & Cons

Grippier than the GP4000 II in the dry, not in the wet though, I feel less rolling resistance.

Pros & Cons

Bought these as an upgrade to replace the standard tyres I got with my bike. Made a huge difference to my times and felt more planted when taking corners. Will continue to use these tyres.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Fast, but not most durable...

Pros & Cons

The GP5000’s are just an outstanding tyre. No matter what the conditions they never lose grip and give great confidence around every corner. I’ve had a few sets of these and I run them on my good bike and my winter bike. Honestly don’t look any further. Just brilliant

Pros & Cons

Rijd 3 weken op de banden en ze rijden uitstekend! Geen problemen gevonden. Voelen sterk en snel aan en kwaliteit is super!

Pros & Cons

Super pneus, super prix, a recommander

Great grip in wet or dry, super fast and great cornering

Pros & Cons

They roll great, very comfortable and give me a lot of confidence descending and cornering

I bought these for a great price and found the 25mm more comfortable than my previous 23mm tyres. Good rolling resistance and happy so far.

Pros & Cons

Very good quality and the price is great in this bundle. Never have any issues with the GP 5000 tyre.

Pros & Cons

Rij al jaren met de banden van Continental. Bevallen nog steeds goed. Grip is goed en de kans op lek rijden is klein.

Pros & Cons

Zoals eigenlijk alle voorgaande banden van Continental is deze band perfect, want zelfs in deze tijd heb ik er voldoende grip mee.

Pros & Cons

Fantastisch soepele band en goede grip, zelfs op vochtige straatklinkers voelen ze nog steeds vertrouwd!

Prettige band voor de wekelijkse fietser, met een combinatie van goede rolweerstand en voldoende grip.

Pros & Cons

Comfortabele en snelle banden omdat de 28mm breedte lagere druk toelaat en tegelijk de rolweerstand verlaagt.

Pros & Cons

Probably the best tyre for general sporting use (Interestingly these 25C sized up exactly the same as my old GP5000s that were labelled 23C: both measured 25mm on the same rims!)

Pros & Cons

32mm onder gravelbike, 1500 km, 0 keer lek gereden, weinig of geen visiuele schade tot dusver, zeer tevreden.

Pros & Cons

very competitive price for a top quality road tyre which is difficult to source in the large size at the moment, you will pay significantly more on other websites, delivery was fast, very pleased with purchase

Pros & Cons

Nice balance between low rolling resistance and grip in most conditions. Too early to judge puncture protection. The gum wall finish looks good on my carbon wheels. The tyres were easy to fit. They have come up a little narrower than some other brands I have used on these wheels

Pros & Cons

Grippy and good ride feel (coming from Conti GP 4 Season)

top band

Pros & Cons

Prodotto ottimo senza dubbio.Vedro'altri v.prodotti e spero di fare altri acquisti,grazie!

Pneu monté avec des chambres à air Revoloop 39gr chacune. Superbe combinaison, souple et un roulage soyeux. Je recommande ces pneus un pur bonheur.

Pros & Cons

Levering zoals verwacht zeer snel en kwaliteit zoals verwacht zeer goed. Banden eerder gehad dus verwacht geen issues.

Great!

Pros & Cons

Totally matching expectations, very good bang for the buck, smooth joyable slide on the road with great traction at the same time, stability and speed are a given.

Pros & Cons

Highly recommended and good service from Mantel for answering my queries.

Pros & Cons

Very fast delivery and well packed. Will buy it again and recommend this store to my friends.
