Continental Grand Prix 5000 Folding Tyre

Continental Grand Prix 5000 folding road tyre in size 700x23, with a ISO width of 23 mm and a ISO diameter of 622. It is aimed at riders using a road bike with 700c or 29 inch rims who want the narrowest section of this model. The bead is folding (clincher), so the size must be checked before buying.

The tread and sidewalls are protected by Flat Protection, the breaker is made of Vectran and the compound is BlackChili, with LazerGrip ACT technology. The stated pressure is 123 PSI and the TPI is 330. When choosing the width, consider your rim and the type of road you ride on: the 23 mm profile is the narrowest.

Founded in Hanover in 1871, Continental is still based in the German city today. For cyclists, it makes tires and inner tubes for road, gravel, mountain biking and urban riding. Its connection with bicycles goes back to its early days: in 1892, it became the first German company to produce pneumatic bicycle tires.
