BlackChili Compound for Speed and Grip
Continental’s BlackChili Compound is developed to balance low rolling resistance with reliable grip, two important characteristics for performance road cycling. By reducing the energy lost as the tyre rolls while maintaining traction, the compound helps deliver efficient riding on fast roads without compromising the confidence needed when cornering. Whether you’re maintaining speed on flat roads or tackling twisting descents, BlackChili technology contributes to the GP5000 S TR’s versatile performance.
Vectran Breaker Puncture Protection
The Continental GP5000 S TR Poga?ar Edition uses a Vectran Breaker layer to provide lightweight protection against cuts and punctures. Designed to remain flexible, the protective layer helps resist damage from road debris without unnecessarily increasing rolling resistance. This makes it a practical feature for riders who want performance-focused tyres that can also cope with regular training and longer road rides.
Lazer Grip for Confident Cornering
Continental’s Lazer Grip technology uses a precision-cut micro-profile across the tyre shoulders to support grip when leaning into corners. The textured shoulder design is intended to provide additional confidence when negotiating bends and technical descents, complementing the traction characteristics of the BlackChili Compound.
Active Comfort Technology for a Smoother Ride
Active Comfort Technology is designed to absorb vibrations generated by uneven road surfaces, helping reduce the harshness transmitted through the bike. Combined with the 30 mm tyre width, this contributes to a more comfortable riding experience on longer routes and less-than-perfect tarmac.
Tubeless-Ready Construction
The Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Poga?ar Edition features tubeless-ready construction, allowing it to be used with a compatible tubeless wheelset and suitable sealant. A tubeless setup can help seal smaller punctures while allowing riders to optimise tyre pressure for their weight, road conditions and wheel configuration. Continental recommends using a minimum of 30 ml of Conti RevoSealant per tyre during initial tubeless mounting.
The tyre is also stated as hookless compatible, provided the wheel and tyre combination meets the relevant compatibility requirements and pressure limits. Always follow the wheel manufacturer’s instructions and use the lower applicable maximum pressure where limits differ.
Exclusive Tadej Poga?ar Collector’s Edition
Created to celebrate one of professional cycling’s most successful modern riders, this limited-edition Continental GP5000 S TR features exclusive graphics inspired by Tadej Poga?ar. The special design gives the tyre a distinctive appearance while retaining the performance technologies of the GP5000 S TR platform.
Each collector’s edition also includes a ‘Pogi’ figure, making this a particularly appealing option for cycling enthusiasts and fans of Poga?ar. Whether displayed as a collectible or fitted to a road bike, the edition brings together premium cycling equipment and a celebration of professional road racing.
Who Is the Continental GP5000 S TR Poga?ar Edition For?
