NEW Continental GP5000 S TR Tyres | Faster, lighter, more puncture resistant!

Continental’s new GP5000 S TR road tyres are their first hookless-compatible road tyre and are claimed to be faster, lighter and less prone to punctures than previous GP5000 tyres. All in all, the Grand Prix 5000 S TR is said to be Conti’s best all-round performance road tyre. Having been used by Filippo Ganna recently in his World Championship winning Time Trial performance, these tyres are certainly very, very quick!

What do you think of these new GP5000 S TR tyres?

With these bold claims by tire manufacturers, we will soon have rolling assistance, not rolling resistance.

[yarbrough]

The real question is when they will actually be available...Supply chains are a mess right now...

[williammurray]

I would love to see a side by side comparison. Same bike, same wheels, same rider, same route, same wattage and have the real time data shown.

[thebelly]

‘Includes paid promotion’ ….. translated as “exclusively an advertisement for this product”.

[not-a-raccoon]

So we're off of Pirelli tires? Be that as it may, I love my GP5000 tires. Well worth the hype. Especially paired with latex tubes and decent wheels.

[DanTuber]

Can't GCN just do a product review without it sounding like an ad.

[oreboulder]

This is just way too much of a commercial for my taste. Didn't even want to finish watching, and what I had already heard I just could not take as real information.

[julianman]

Another infomercial ! To some extent, Its understandable and the nature of the behemoth that is GCN - that the slick presentations have to be paid for somehow, but versus non sponsored channels the sheer amount of this type of content means that compared to the early days of GCN and current, not so heavily sponsored cycling channels it is losing its appeal in terms of any honest appraisal of cycling products. The ‘how to’ / workshop guides are as ever, an excellent resource, but I feel the balance of the content is too heavily biased towards ‘paid content’, which makes the product features feel somewhat disingenuous.

Got 5000 TL as a road set for my gravel bike. They are super fast, but an absolute pain to mount. I was able to mount one with a friend. Another one I gave up and took it to a bike shop. Never seen entire staff sweat so much. Even with a special tool, it took a good 20 minutes to mount on carbon rim. That's just 1 tire.

[dominicbritt]

… the easier to fit part was the only bit most people are interested in. Nice to see Continental admit that their current 5000TLs are an utter pain in the arse… I’ve been saying it for 2 years - there is always a steady stream of naysayers “fine we’re fine” despite them spending 3 hours fitting them…

[Aureas]

I always rode Conti's, until I went tubeless. The GP5000 TL's where impossible to mount on my HUNT wheels. And from what i've read online, im not alone in my experience. Will these be easier to mount?

[stephen_]

Hookless is so unnecessary 🙄 Wish the hookless craze would go away.

[tobycolin]

Who cares! a gp 5000 has a rolling resistance of about 12 watts at 28km/h (18 mph) the new tyre has a 20% saving at 45 km/h at 18mph the difference would be 4%, saving of less than 0.6watts. Another completely unmeasurable saving for the post 2012 rider to buy for yet more money.

[edpilling]

Been a massive pain fitting the current TL version. Nearly binned them!

[guyparis]

I was quite happy with the GP 4000. Reliable solid and not too pricey! Old school winter tyres. Still had the same black chilli compound. Can’t find them any more.

[marcusantonyledulx]

The GP4000 clinchers lasted me 1000 km longer than the GP5000 equivalent. Lightness, ⇣ rolling resistance & speed come at the expense of D U R A B I L I T Y.
Few of us need to save seconds in amateur racing. Bring back the GP4000's

[hallisoft]

The old tyre could be used without sealant. The new one is 50g lighter but requires 50g of sealant. The new tyre uses the same Vectran layer but has more puncture protection. "9 out of 10 dentists All these manufacturers claims are meaningless without standard test methodology and independent lab testing.

[bikeman]

4:28 'S TR requires a tubeless sealant'.. . 5:00 Then goes on to say you should buy them even if you dont want tubeless. Doesnt make any sense.

[allesrelativ]

Will stick to the gp5000 tube version with Tubolito, no problems since installing these two years ago
