Although the Continental Grand Prix 5000 is still one of the fastest and most popular racing bike tires, it did not stop the developers of the German manufacturer from developing one that has been improved in all areas To launch the Tubeless-Ready TR version. At first glance, the 5000 S TR can hardly be distinguished from the previous version. However, the familiar Lazer Grip profile structure has a completely newly developed structure 5000 S TR only has 2 instead of 3 layers of fabric under the tread. This ensures better adaptation to the surface and contributes significantly to reducing rolling resistance by 20 thanks to the Vectran Breaker puncture protection layer and the non-slip Black Chili tread , the reduced number of layers does not have a negative effect on puncture protection. The side walls still consist of 3 layers with a newly added protective layer. This not only improves the puncture protection of the sidewalls by 28, it also ensures that the tire runs more stable at low air pressures. A new, patented tubeless construction, which does not require a sealing rubber layer, makes the tire 50 grams lighter than the previous version. Long awaited by many Conti fans, the new 5000 S TR is now also compatible with hookless rims. However, it can still be used with classic clincher rims and also with a tube. The new tubeless tire has already proven its outstanding properties and versatility in racing. Both the world championship title in the individual time trial and the victory at Paris-Roubaix were achieved on the 5000 ST R.
