FAQ

How does the GP 5000 clincher compare to the GP 5000 S TR?

The GP 5000 is the standard clincher version for use with inner tubes. The GP 5000 S TR is the tubeless-ready version. The clincher is often preferred on older rims that lack a tubeless-compatible bead seat, or by riders who prefer the simplicity of a tube setup.

Is the GP 5000 the fastest road tire Continental makes?

The GP 5000 (and its S TR tubeless variant) consistently test as one of the lowest rolling resistance road tires available in its class across multiple independent sources. BlackChili compound and Vectran breaker together deliver the combination of speed and flat protection that made it a WorldTour standard.

What does Lazer Grip mean?

Lazer Grip is Continental's micro-surface texturing applied to the shoulder tread zone, improving cornering grip at lean angles without changing the center tread profile that determines rolling resistance.

Best For

Road cyclists who want the benchmark performance clincher -- maximum rolling speed, grip, and flat resistance in a tube-compatible tire for training and racing on standard rims.
