Continental Grand Prix 5000 Timetrail TR road bike tire foldable | black-black 28-622
The specialist for the fight against the Clock. The fastest Grand Prix 5000 tubeless tire in the hunt for speed. Whether criterium, time trail or Triathlon. Vectran is spun from the liquid crystal polymer Vectra. This creates a thermoplastic, multi-fiber yarn. For comparison: This semi-crystalline fabric is more cut-resistant than aramid and has five times the tensile strength of steel. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than comparable nylon breakers. The rolling resistance is not negatively affected. Continental is using Lazer Grip for the first time in a bicycle tire. They go one step further when it comes to grip and equip your tire with a specially gel-coated shoulder section. This offers increased cornering grip and lets you become one with the road. The dark areas also look particularly elegant thanks to their velvety Surface. The revolutionary approach in racing cycling. Integrated into the tire construction, Active Comfort Technology absorbs shocks and ensures an outstanding driving experience.
The running properties of a tire's rubber compound are largely determined by three interacting factors - grip, rolling resistance and mileage. The dilemma: if you improve one of these factors, at least one of the others will deteriorate in return. A tire with maximum grip wears out more quickly and rolls more slowly. If you make the tire faster or more durable, its grip will decrease. With the BlackChili Compound, a tread compound that is always based on the latest findings in polymer and raw material research, Continental has provided the cycling scene with a lasting answer. Depending on the area of application of a tire, they specifically adjust the compound recipe - whether for racing bikes or mountain bikes, for time trials or downhill. For BlackChili, special synthetic rubbers are refined with proven natural rubber to create particularly high-performance tread mixtures. Soot particles are then added to these mixtures, which in turn are optimized in terms of shape and surface properties.
Continental's carcass construction is particularly robust and insensitive to damage and the penetration of foreign bodies. The result: The tires are versatile, lightweight and have an attractive design. In addition, the tires with this technology can also be used tubeless or in combination with a tube. Continental recommends using our Revo-sealant.
