"The GP5000 S TR is the all-rounder, balancing weight and protection for a fast but durable (and puncture protected) ride. Designed for general purpose road riding, the new size lets you push the boundaries of what "all road" really means. And the increased volume means you can run lower pressures for more traction and comfort while doing so."
"The GP5000 TT TR saves weight and reduces rolling resistance for race days with a stripped-down casing. It's not totally exposed...both tires use Conti's Vectran Breaker for puncture protection, this one just has less supporting materials to bolster its effectiveness."
"All GP5000 models also get their "Active Comfort Technology", which is a proprietary technology (presumably that means "magic material") embedded into the casing to absorb and damp vibrations for improved comfort."
Continental introduces two new sizes for its Grand Prix 5000 tire line. The GP5000 S TR in 35mm serves as an all-purpose option, balancing weight and durability with puncture protection for general road riding. Its larger volume allows lower pressure settings for improved traction and comfort. The GP5000 TT TR in 30mm targets racing applications with a lightweight, stripped-down design that reduces rolling resistance while maintaining puncture protection through Vectran Breaker technology. Both tires feature BlackChili Compound rubber with Lazer Grip textured patches for enhanced cornering control and Active Comfort Technology for vibration absorption.
