1. Continental Grand Prix 5000
Made to make you better. This product follows the Grand Prix 4000 S II. With Continental's unique tread compound, produced exclusively in Germany, they have revolutionized the cycling scene. Thanks to the legendary BlackChili compound, Continental has sustainably answered the eternal question of grip versus rolling resistance. Regular test victories demonstrate the measurable and noticeable advantages for riders, both in the lab and on the road. The latest polymers, along with specially developed carbon black particles and fillers, ensure unique performance. Vectran is a synthetic high-tech fiber inspired by nature. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid crystalline polymer. Vectran is spun from the molten liquid polymer Vectra and processed into a multi-fiber yarn. Both spider silk and Vectran possess enormous tear resistance at minimal weight. These are exactly the right properties to be used as a puncture protection insert in a top Continental tire. A Vectran breaker is lighter, more flexible, and provides more effective protection against cuts than comparable nylon breakers. The Vectran breaker does not affect rolling resistance.
2. Continental Gatorskin
Ride wherever you want with the Gatorskin. It is the undisputed number one worldwide among fixie riders, messengers, and urban bikers - now also available in the German-speaking market. The Gatorskin is the right tire when it gets serious on the road. With the Gatorskin, you have something solid under you, as the PolyX Breaker protects beneath the tread. DuraSkin makes the sidewall impermeable. The Gatorskin is the perfect choice for hard-hitting performance in urban terrain.
PolyX Breaker - Cut and puncture resistant. With the PolyX Breaker, Continental brings its automotive expertise into the bicycle tire segment. Polyester has been successfully used in car tires for years and has proven itself many times over. The extremely durable polyester fiber is tightly woven in a cross pattern. This achieves a very high fabric density, making the breaker not only resistant to foreign objects but particularly resistant to punctures. The rolling resistance is also not negatively affected by the PolyX Breaker.
DuraSkin - Can take a beating. Tires with DuraSkin sidewall protection must be able to withstand a lot. They are used under the harshest conditions. On messenger bikes, the tires rub against curbs, on touring bikes they cross continents without wearing through, and in racing, they must pass toughness tests like Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric reliably protects the side of the tire and prepares it for the extreme. These tires stand out from the crowd thanks to their brown sidewalls.
