The Grand Prix 5000 TT TR tire is ideal for time trials and has been specially developed for the battle against the clock. It is still one of the fastest and most popular road bike tires. As the fastest tubeless tire in the Grand Prix 5000 range, it is perfect for speed lovers. It is ideal for timetrials or triathlons. The abbreviation TT does not stand for Timetrial for nothing. In addition to its high speed and good puncture resistance, the tire also impresses with its low weight, which ensures improved acceleration.

Over 100 years of experience in the development and production of bicycle tires make Continental a unique company in the industry. Continental is also the only German bicycle tire manufacturer with production in Germany! Conti tires are built by hand in Germany using unique technologies and materials.
BlackChili Compound
At Conti, BlackChili means above all that grip, rolling resistance and durability are combined at a level that almost makes you believe in magic. Continental simply uses the very latest and best technologies. The latest polymers, carbon black particles optimized down to the nano range and fillers guarantee the unique performance of the BlackChili compound. It revolutionized the basic conflict between grip and rolling resistance. Approximately 30% more grip and a 26% improvement in rolling resistance compared to the silica compound ensure better performance and safety.
Continental tires consist entirely of this high-quality rubber compound. This means that the tires can be worn down to the carcass without losing the first-class properties of the rubber!
Once you've ridden a tire with Black Chilli, you won't want anything else!
Vectran Breaker
Vectran ™ is a synthetically produced high-tech fiber with a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran ™ is a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran ™ is spun from the molten liquid polymer Vectra and further processed into a multi-fiber yarn. Both spider silk and Vectran ™ have enormous tensile strength at very low weight. Higher puncture resistance and lower weight are the advantages of the Vectran breaker. Vectran is more cut-resistant than aramid, 5 times more tensile than steel and lighter than a nylon thread, without affecting rolling resistance. This makes it the ideal protective layer for tires. Vectran was developed for airbag systems in the automotive and aerospace industries.
TubelessReady
TR technology is specially designed to adapt tubeless to the demands of road cycling. Easy to fit and reliable in use. Specially developed, the tubeless foot provides a special seal thanks to its shape and ensures a stable hold on the rim.
Active Comfort Technology
The revolutionary approach in road cycling. Integrated into the tire construction, Active Comfort Technology absorbs vibrations and ensures an outstanding riding experience.
LazerGrip
Lets you become one with the road. The laser-cut micro tread structure concentrates on the shoulder area of the tire and offers you increased cornering grip.
NOTE: On hookless rims, the tire pressure must not exceed 5 bar (73 PSI). Continental recommends the use of at least 30 ml of suitable tubeless sealant for initial fitting.
