evo.com | Continental Tires > Any road wheel would be ecstatic to be shod in a Continental Grand Prix 5000 Tire. The latest version of a long-running favorite of drop-bar bikers everywhere, the 5000 model features a Vectran Breaker: a layer of lightweight synthetic spider silk that keeps punctures at bay. These tires offer a great mix of speed, durability, and grip. Excellent Grip, High Mileage and Efficient Rolling Active Comfort Technology Absorbs Vibrations and Smoothens Your Ride Black Chili Compound A new relationship between grip and rolling resistance. This unique tread rubber mixture which is only produced in Continental's German factory has revolutionized bicycle tires. BlackChili Compound improves rolling resistance by 26 % and provides 30 % more grip than activated silica compounds. Premium tires with BlackChili Compound also impress with higher mileage and unlike many multi-compounds, provide a constant ride from the first to the last mile. Lazer Grip Micro Profiled Shoulder Structure Vectran Breaker Vectran(TM) is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fiber from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran(TM) is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran(TM) is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. A Vectran(TM) Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. | Continental Grand Prix 5000 Tire 700c 2026 - 700 x 28c in Black | Nylon/Rubber/Silk
