What is the Grand Prix 5000 TT TR for?

Racing against the clock. Continental took the GP5000 S TR, shaved off weight and reduced rolling resistance, making the TT TR the lightest tyre of the GP5000 TR range — 245 g in 700x28 against 280 g for the S TR (Continental). It is aimed at time trials, triathlon, criteriums, road racing and track, and Continental makes it in 25, 28 and 30 mm only. For everyday training the S TR is the all-rounder.

Is this Continental tyre hookless compatible?

Yes, within limits. Continental’s catalogue states that this tyre is hookless compatible to its limited maximum pressure and asks you to check the wheel manufacturer’s instructions and the tyre packaging. The packaging lists the maximum inflation pressure and the maximum inner rim width, which can differ between hooked and hookless rims.

Q: How do I set up a Continental TR tyre tubeless — and can I use an inner tube?

Both work: Continental designs its Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres to run tubeless or with an inner tube. For the first tubeless mounting it recommends at least 30 ml of Conti RevoSealant per tyre; spin the wheel to spread the sealant, pump to the allowed maximum pressure, and check the pressure again before your next ride.

BlackChili Compound

Continental’s signature tread compound and its answer to the balance between grip and rolling resistance. Continental says the latest polymers, specially developed carbon-black particles and filler materials give it its performance on road, gravel and mountain-bike tyres, from time trials to downhill.

Vectran Breaker

A breaker spun from liquid-crystal polymer into a thermoplastic multi-thread yarn. Continental says the fabric is more cut-resistant than aramid with five times the tensile strength of steel, and that a Vectran breaker is lighter, more flexible and better against cuts than a comparable nylon breaker — without affecting rolling resistance.

LazerGrip

A lasered micro-profile structure that extends over the tyre’s shoulder; Continental says it gives outstanding cornering grip — “to make you one with the road”.

Active Comfort Technology

A layer embedded in the tyre construction that, Continental says, absorbs vibrations and smooths the ride.

Tubeless Ready (TR)

Continental says its TR casing is robust against damage and penetration from foreign objects, and that TR tyres can be run tubeless or with an inner tube. For the first tubeless mounting Continental recommends at least 30 ml of Conti RevoSealant per tyre: spin the wheel to spread it, pump to the allowed maximum pressure and check the pressure again before the next ride.
