GP5000: The Gold-Standard For Road Tires

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 is a worthy successor to the beloved Grand Prix 4000 S II road tire, which reigned over the road-clincher bicycle tire market for over ten years. As you can imagine, creating a better version than the GP4000 was not a simple task, but Conti did it.

The new Grand Prix 5000s are high-performing all-rounders featuring even better versions of Black Chili tread compound and tear-resistant Vectran Breaker technology, as well as two new technologies: Lazer Grip and Active Comfort.

The German tire manufacturer focused specifically on the two problematic areas of the GP4000s — cornering grip and puncture protection. With their added tech in both these departments, the GP5000 rises above all other comparable clinchers.

The Vectran Breaker puncture protection is lighter, is more flexible, and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker used in previous models. Like spider silk, Vectran is an extremely strong and lightweight synthetic material, woven tightly into a multi-strand barrier.

The GP5000's Lazer Grip technology delivers more cornering traction from day one — no break-in time is required thanks to its micro profile structure that reaches over the shoulder of the tire.

Integrated into the 3-ply/330tpi casing of the Grand Prix 5000, Active Comfort technology provides stiffness in the sidewall and flexibility under the tread for greater vibration dampening and excellent ride comfort.

Grand Prix Family

The standard GP5K is only the beginning of the possibilities. If you want a tubeless version, or need hookless compatibility, check out the S TR or AS TR for all-season grip and durability. If you're after pure speed, only the TT TR will do.

GP 5000 28mm
by Bryan

After doing the tubless scenario I went back to my roots a roll with clichers again. If you run 80+ psi. on your setup you won't be disappointed. Much better tread-life than most. 3,000+ miles is about my average before having to replace them. BTW, they Roll Fast Too!

This is my 3rd set of tires. The first set lasted 2700 miles. The 2nd set is in process and I expect to get the same mileage. They are fast and handle well under dry or wet conditions. They are the best.

Absolutely the best RT

I have been running Conti GP's for almost two decades and keep moving with the nomenclature progression. They are very much puncture resistant, light, very sticky for cornering, and a real value for a German made tire for pro racing standards. Unless QC goes out the window or I am given a competitor tire to try to formulate feedback, I will not vacate using this tire. I run a 700 x 25 sizing on a set of full carbon Spinergy wheels that are 32 mm deep with a Hadley Ti Racing hub. If you have not ridden these and are looking for a new manufacturer, give them a try.

Sweet Spot Road Tire
by Dave Wright
Cycling Enthusiast

Continental hit the exact sweet spot with the 5000. Perfect mix of speed and flat resistance. Excellent cornering grip too. I use the 32mm size on both my road bike and gravel bike's road wheelset. Have worn out 25mm and 28mm similar Conti 4000s as well, and strongly recommend the 32mm width if your bike can take it. The lower pressure greatly & noticeably improves comfort, traction, and tread life. For the occasional fast smooth pavement ride you can pressure them up to be same or lower rolling resistance as thinner tires. I suppose their extra width adds wind resistance, but if that makes a statistically provable difference in your riding then no worries because your team mechanic is wrangling your gear anyway. My only qualification on the 5000 is that it should only see minimal gravel use. I ruined the sidewall on a rear tire one time.

The tire I love and hate

I am a Conti GP5000 devotee and have been for years. They get consistently great reviews, roll fast and feel very comfortable on the road. They also look great. That said, you have to have the correct wheel/tire combination for them or you will suffer as they run tight. Had to cut one off and there have been plenty where no amount of manipulation could get my tire lever under the tire bead even having the whole tire down in the center channel. These were supposed to be my tires for life but they disappointed and I've moved on. My bike shop guy who's been in business for years told me that Conti's main business is car and truck tires, not bike tires. Therefore the R&D just isn't there as opposed to a company like Vittoria which only makes bike tires. It was because of the Conti's that I bought longer vinyl coated steel tire levers because they were the only levers with which I could get the last bit of bead over the tire rim and do so without breaking the lever. Getting stuck on the road because I can't change an inner tube is unacceptable.

I like how easy it mounts (slips) on to the rim. I had many other tires before and they were a pain to put on.

I even had to go see a bike shop mechanic to force other tires than the Contintal Grand Prix 5000 on the wheel.

Super Fast Road Tire
by Anonymous

The GP 5000 S-TRs are the best I've ever ridden and I've tried a lot! The rolling resistance of these tires are among the lowest in production - super fast, great road feel, supple and sticky. I'm 155 lbs, run them tubeless, and they last me about 3,000 miles on the rear; longer on the front. They are not a puncture free tire but for a race tire they are more durable than others (Pirelli, Specialized Turbo). If you want puncture free - go with the Conti Gatorskins. I ride about 5,000 miles per year and have burned through at least 5 of these tires. I keep coming back! At $120 they are an okay deal. But if you are patient, you can often find them under $90 - a great value!

Before ordering, I checked reviews of these tires. Sounded almost too good to be true. Fast, durable, grippy? And in sale! So I put a pair on my Serotta, and I�ll be darned: what they say is true. This is a great tire, one of the best.

Quality tire at a great price

I'm a road cyclist that wants a tire that rolls fast and has good grip--the Continental Grand Prix 5000 hits the mark. They might not have the best puncture protection, but that's to be expected from a tire that's lightweight and has low rolling resistance.

Fast, Smooth, Straight and sticky
by MaranaDana
Cycling Enthusiast
Southern AZ
2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.

I use these (28mm GP5000s) with latex tubes at 80psi rear and a pound or two less in front. I'm about 180 pounds. They are mounted on Velocity Aileron rims optimized for 28mm tires so the tire is the same width as the rim for smooth airflow. I raced road, track, cyclocross and mountain bike most of my life. These tires feel fast and help smooth some of the rough roads. The tread is straight. A lot of expensive tires have wiggly tread and lumps. The GP5000s are straight and smooth with no lumps. The latex tubes not only help them roll easier, but also allow the casing to conform to the road for better cornering traction as well. They wear well and do not cut easily. If I were to to enter some kind competition, I would use carbon wheels and 25mm GP5000s but I like the 28s for comfort and probably would not be at very much of a disadvantage with the 28s being slightly heavier.

My one minor complaint is the tread pattern. There is no need for it and I would perfectly happy with slicks like on any road racing motorcycle. Motos do use rain tires with tread but that's because of the higher speed and larger contact patch. Bicycle tires go a LOT slower and the quarter size contact patch negates any need to "channel" water away.

GP 5000, great tire.

Just read the review from 7/11/2003, stating the Conti GP 5000 were difficult to mount on Mavic Ksyrium Elite rims.

I have three of these wheelsets, and have never had any issues mounting them. I use no tools, only my hands-perhaps a different technique could solve his problems with these tires.

For whatever it is worth, I have worked in the bicycle business for decades, owning a bike shop, and now do charity work in a shop that does charity work that involves restoring bicycles for sale. Also, have been mounting tires on my race bikes (Sew-ups, or tubulars, clinchers, tubeless, etc.) since 1972. So, perhaps I have an advantage on mounting tires.

Perhaps the solution would be for this person to take their Mavic wheels to a bike shop, & get a few pointers there, & hopefully find a slightly different technique that would solve the problem.

Good luck!

I haven't been on Conti's in several years and when these went on sale I decided to try them again. I got the 30's and they were relatively easy to mount on my Roval rims. Measured out to exactly 30mm wide when aired up to 60 pounds. I'm running latex tubes in mine and this tire/tube combo rides fantastic. Super grippy and stable in corners and buttery smooth. I can really lean the bike on its side and rail corners and turns. After a few hundred miles...no nicks or cuts or flats, I often hit dirt roads and tame gravel sections and they so far have been up to the task. Definitely not a gravel tire but I can pick my way through. So far, great!

Bought new endurance frame and chose these in 32mm for it. Large enough to ride very light gravel and to run pressures low enough for some comfort. I've ridden Conti's 4 Season, 4000 and Hardshells (winter only) for 12 years on three bikes and feel they create a high quality mainstream product that has performed well. 5000s are too new to have much time on them, but initially they are very similar to the 4000s. Rode through several areas of broken glass and the tire didn't pick any up, I have high expectations for these tires and so far they are meeting them.
