The Continental GP 5000 is a light and fast road tyre that is suitable both for competition use and as a training tyre for active enthusiasts. It combines excellent rolling resistance and comfort with good durability for a racing tyre. The Active Comfort technology effectively eliminates vibrations and provides a softer ride. The easiest way to improve the riding comfort of your bike without lowering the pressure too much. The Lazer Grip micro tread pattern offers unrivalled grip and reliability when cornering. Vectran is a patented puncture protection developed by Continental that is lighter and more flexible while providing more effective protection than comparable nylon puncture protection. It does not reduce the tyre's rolling resistance. Vectran is a liquid crystal polymer (LCP), similar to spider silk, which is spun from molten Vectra liquid polymer and processed into multifilament yarn. Like spider silk, Vectran is very tear-resistant and at the same time lightweight.
