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.
Low rolling resistance, light and tough. Just a great tire for everyday use and training. One down side is they are very, very tight to get on and off, at least on my wheels.
Excellent rolling resistance very good corner gripping
As always a great tire, grippy and fast with decent puncture protection. 1500 miles in and no issues.
The 32mm tires are buttery smooth and fast.
Great tire on all accounts, traction, handling, wear,
puncture resistance and ease of changing.
It has held up to pretty much every surface I have been on, with excellent roll and soft feel.
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.
My go to tire for low rolling resistance, great performance and standing up to the miles'
These are great tires that hold the road really well. Ordered 32mm for my Orbea road bike and they absorb the bumps well. A bit hard to install, but once on the rim they perform well.
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'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.
Still good after 400 miles. Nice surface grip. I've road on very rough and pot hole filled roads with no complaints.
Spring has sprung so these go back into the rotation. Deep dish or shallow carbon "weekend" wheels with GP5000 and latex tubes are the best. Period.
Can't touch this tubeless. Just ask DKQS; they should know. Don't know how it gets better than this, but technology and materials are ever evolving. Conti is always cutting the path.
These tires provide a very well rounded repertoire of desirable characteristics. For the money, they have excellent grip, good longevity, and very good puncture resistance. I'm on my second set now!
These are actually fairly true to size, the previous GP4000's were way oversized.
The ride and handling feel the same as the GP4000's. I don't notice a difference in speed
Cant comment on flat protection and don't wish to jinx myself but should be the same or better.
Road cycling in south FL with ride lengths of 30 - 70 miles is typical for me now. Continental tires are smooth-rolling, dependable, and have a good grip on the road. I know what to expect out of them and it's the tire I look for when reordering.
