Continental GP5000S TR Tour de France Limited Edition Road Tyre The Tour de France represents the pinnacle of cycling. To honour this great race; Continental presents the Grand Prix 5000S TR Tour de France – a limited edition version of their most advanced road tyre to date. Trusted by the pros; ridden by enthusiasts. With Continental’s unique tread compound; they have revolutionised the sport of cycling. The legendary BlackChili Compound addresses the eternal question of the best balance of grip and rolling resistance for cycling. The latest polymers; along with specially developed carbon black particles and filler materials; guarantee a unique performance on road. Embedded in the tyre construction; Continental’s revolutionary Active Comfort Technology absorbs vibrations and smooths the ride. Vectran; spun from liquid crystal-polymer; creates a thermoplastic; multiple-thread yarn. This partially crystalline fabric is more cut-resistant than aramid; and its tensile strength is five times higher than that of steel. The Vectran breaker is lighter; more flexible; and more effective against cuts than a comparable nylon breaker; without affecting rolling resistance. Continental’s Lazer Grip technology makes the rider one with the road. The laser-etched micro profile structure expands over the tyre’s shoulder; providing outstanding cornering.
