Continental Ultra Sport III Folding Tire - Performance - 28-622 Black/Brown

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 represents a new era in road cycling. Designed for riders who demand top performance, it delivers higher speed, superior comfort, and outstanding puncture protection. As the direct successor to the legendary GP 4000 S II, it sets a new benchmark for all-round road tires.

Manufactured by Continental, the GP 5000 combines race-proven technologies with everyday reliability, making it an ideal choice for both intense training and competitive riding.

All-round performance at the highest level

The GP 5000 is a true high-performance all-terrain road tire. Optimized rolling efficiency allows you to ride faster with less effort, while its refined construction improves vibration absorption for a smoother, more controlled ride on imperfect asphalt.

BlackChili Compound – The blend that makes the difference

The exclusive BlackChili Compound, developed and produced only in Germany, strikes the perfect balance between:

• Exceptional grip
• Low rolling resistance
• Long-lasting durability

Advanced polymers and specially engineered carbon black particles deliver measurable performance gains both in the lab and on the road.

Vectran™ Breaker – Benchmark puncture protection

The Vectran™ Breaker is a high-tech synthetic fiber inspired by spider silk:

• Lighter and more flexible than nylon
• Extremely resistant to cuts and punctures
• No negative impact on rolling resistance

It provides top-level protection without sacrificing speed.

Active Comfort Technology – Ride smoother, ride longer

Integrated directly into the tire construction, Active Comfort Technology absorbs shocks and road vibrations, reducing fatigue and enhancing overall riding comfort.

Lazer Grip – Total control in corners

The laser-cut micro-profile structure on the tire shoulders improves cornering grip, giving you a confident and precise connection to the road—even at high speeds.
