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.
Initially ordered wrong size and replaced with no hassle Thanks for the great service
Takes a bit of work to get the bead over the rim the first time, otherwise a great tire.
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.
One of the lowest rolling resistance tires and all around performers out there for the money. This has become my "go-to" tire and have it on several bikes.
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.
Feels good
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'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.
Very high quality reliable product.
Overall you can trust continental 100%
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.
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
