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.
Feels good
Takes a bit of work to get the bead over the rim the first time, otherwise a great tire.
Great tires. I wish they were a little cheaper but it is what it is. I get 3-4,00 miles out of mine.
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.
Very high quality reliable product.
Overall you can trust continental 100%
Been riding these tires for a long time. Only thing that is a con, they can be hard to put on (or it could be my 78 yr old hands)
I recently upgraded my Gatorskins with the GP 5000. I immediately noticed a faster ride without sacrificing puncture protection. Great tires!
These tires are very smooth riding. I find good mileage from the tires as well. Good value overall
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.
While the GP 5000s are great for racing, I use a set for daily riding/training. The tires are great on the pockmarked roads on which I train, even in wet weather.
Got the look I wanted with the performance I already knew and the price was right
Great tire at a great price. bought two sets
Much faster than my old tires, grippier, can capture corners like never before.
Light weight, good grip, and comfortable riding. My favorite road tire.
IMO still the best tires. I use tubes, both latex, and TPU. Don't care for the hassle of tubeless. Rugged, fast, great cornering.
Great tire, great price, sticky and fast recommend
Fast, durable, light. Not aware of anything better.
