I use them for group rides. I don't like getting flats, so I use Conti tires and tubes.
Then only tire I race and train on. Ever since nobody is racing on tubulars anymore.
I can't think of a better all around tire.
Great quality fast tires on open road and light!!
Nice rolling resistance and quite puncture resistant. Nice durability as well.
This is basically the brand and model where I see most of my cycling friends use. Decided to try it out and so far so good. Handles better than what I had. Nothing technical in this review. I average at least 100 miles a week for this spring/ summer time so I definitely ride it out.
Takes a bit of work to get the bead over the rim the first time, otherwise a great tire.
My experience with Continental 4000 and 5000 road tires is superior. They ride best and last longest of any tires I have used over the years.
I ride thousands of miles a year and have used many major brands including Continental. I used the 400 for years and tried the 5000 when it came out. Great rolling resistance, smooth comfortable feel and very few punctures. I got close to 3000 miles on the rear tire and almost 6000 on the front. Great value and extremely reliable. Would recommend to any road bike rider.
Still good after 400 miles. Nice surface grip. I've road on very rough and pot hole filled roads with no complaints.
Great tire that is a nice ride and fast. What else do you need?
Used to ride the GP 4000S and I switched to the 5000, it's keeping me satisfied.
Great road feel with adequate puncture protection. Loved the 4000 but they seemed to have vulnerable side walls. 5000 seems to have better sidewalls.
I use this tire for riding in group rides
I like the puncture resistance of the tire. I live in the goat head state of NM and these tires roll nice and keep me from repairs.
32cm nice grip and more comfort. How long will they last?
Initially ordered wrong size and replaced with no hassle Thanks for the great service
I purchased the cream wall tires , look great and Very smooth riding tire, great puncture resistant tire over 700 miles. Won't use no other tire. Worth every penny !
Rolls very quickly plus great grip around corners. Top quality tire.
I've been a fan of Conti road tires for years and these are the best clincher road tires yet. They're not the most puncture proof but I rarely have problems even with the debris strewn roads of west Los Angeles. Their suppleness is excellent and they're reasonably durable.
I held off on upgrading tires, but wish I had done so sooner. I ran Conti Gatorskins 23ml for years -- I'm now 4 rides into Conti GP5000 25ml and noticed the ride quality (and speed!) difference immediately.
