I will love to try it if the problems of the previous GP5000 TL including sidewall thread coming off, harder to fit, worse grip, and suppleness compared to competitors have solved. I hope that GP5000 TL's low rolling resistance, high mileage, good protection continues on the new GP5000 S TR. Great to see decreased in weight to start with.

I look forward to these new GP5000’s! I use the TL’s right now on one bike and they are great! I also use Conti Tubulars on my other bike. Both types of tires have been fantastic! Thanks for the update.
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.
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.

good luck in getting 10k miles of use. Had the 28mm 5000TL throughout 2020 and got roughly 3500 miles before wear indicator disappeared and carcass started showing.
Is the general feel of these tires better when riding ?? I've just bought a basic bike - trek domane Al2. With basic stock tires. Will these tires feel better when riding compared to the stock factory ones??
#askgcntech Hi GCN ! I'm currently using a Continental Revo Sealant on my tubeless tyre setup. But it's about to run out. I have another bottle of different brand ( Bontrager TLR Tire Sealant). Can I mix it up with what's currently on my tubeless tyre or do I have to remove the old before putting in the new one ? Thank you & have a good day.
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?
This one is easier since it has the technology same as the Pirelli, Shwalbe etc (hookless compatible). Should check “David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes” he made a video and mounted the tyres at the end of it
Apparently so - due to having no ridge to worry about. I succeeded in fitting some Schwalbe 35c Allround tyres to my Hunt 30 Allroad wheels only after ditching a pair of tyre bead jacks & using my hands! The secret is to smooth the tape into the well, keep the valve loose then rolling the tyre on with both palms - maybe not so easy with 25c tyres though! Some use tyre bead lube to get on that last length of bead. Refitting a tubeless tyre is certainly easier than fitting a new one the 1st time which is just as well if you need to fit an innertube on a ride.
I'll keep my Schwalbe Pro One Addix and if they ever die the Pirelli P Zeros in my tool box may get a shot. I saw quite a few GP5000s fail this past year.
Oh wow a tyre company actually recognises that 650b exists outside of mountain biking? I am legit surprised. I didn't realise that when I chose my correct size for me bike that my tyre choice would be basically zero. Now I have a great option!
It will be interesting when the rolling resistance measurements come out from independent sources so we can see the real difference between this and the old gp5000.
Just installed them today. Rear 28mm, front 25mm. Let's see what happens. Mind I tell you I jumped from a factory average heavy tyre (400g+) to this directly. Can't wait to go my standard test circuit to see the difference.
@@matiasa7301 amazing, I was surprised what a big difference a tyre makes. Cornering is better, you are faster and acceleration is thrilling. The ride quality overall really improoved.
Have you weighed the tyres yourselves, as 2 months ago I invested in a pair of GP5000 clinchers and I weighed them. They are 25mm tyres and they were 215g each, so at 250g that’s the opposite of a weight saving (unless hookless ready adds weight naturally in their design)
Clinchers are around 50g or more lighter than the equivalent TL tyres as they do not have the weight of the bead. In this ad they are comparing 2 version of the tubless tyres, the TL and the STR.
20% reduction based on their previous GP5000TL equals to not even 2 Watts saved. Switching from winter (4Season) to summer tires (GP5000) is about 40% but more importantly over 7 Watts saved (data from bicyclerollingresistance)!
Can they be run at a higher pressure with hooked rims? I hope they atleast have a hooked specific model as I'm struggling to find the appeal with hookless technology.
A bit late for me. Since I switched to GP5000, I have not had a single puncture in over 2 years(even with a glass deep inside my tire, because it was pushed to the side by the protection layer) and having replaced my worned out back tire a few weeks ago, I guess these will have to wait at least 1.5 years until I could even think to buy a new tire...

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.
Even while this is only an 8 minute video, we would have already been convinced with a video being like 'Are the new Continental tyres even slightly better than the previous version? Yes, they are.'
My conti GP 5000s weigh 225g and I just need to add aerothan innertubes (41g). Just don‘t go tubeless with a road bike… too many downsides. Starting with the tire pressure (low = not helping with punctures) and ending at the higher weight.
Fast tire, great in the dry on clean roads. Super sketchy in the wet and on dusted roads in the corners. They did seem to have good puncture resistance and lasted until they were worn out which was a first ever! However I'll stick to Vittoria, to unstable in dynamic conditions 👍
GP5000 I consider great performance training tires. Have them on older wheelset and turbo cottons on my higher end wheels. GP5000 are crazy durable and tough compared to real racing tires but gripper/faster than most training tires which makes them a dope middle ground choice for daily rides.
@@paulgal very very…. Lasted a whole season on them circa 20,000 KM. Very fast, comfortable and hard wearing. I run TL and every time I had an issue it closed with sealant!! Highly recommend mate
Ive just swapped from the stock bontrager versecomp 32c my new bike came with to the clincher Blackchili GP5KS 28c that i got on trade why clincher? Road side ease I'm an amateur i don't need to wine races i need to be able to change tubes quickstyle rapid
I appreciate the video and i'm a fan of Continental, but it's expected around 80 Euros each🙄 (and i guess they last pretty much the same as the 5000's if not less...)
What's the impact to a heavier (95Kg) rider? 72.5 psi seems awfully low. I run 84 psi on my front and 93 psi on my rear, and I currently use the GP5000 TLs and have them set up tubeless.
They said this when the GP5000 was launched, but GP5000s are prone to punctures they get ripped whenever it happens, I’d go for Vittoria corsas and Pirelli pzeros
What do you think of these new GP5000 S TR tyres?
I will love to try it if the problems of the previous GP5000 TL including sidewall thread coming off, harder to fit, worse grip, and suppleness compared to competitors have solved. I hope that GP5000 TL's low rolling resistance, high mileage, good protection continues on the new GP5000 S TR. Great to see decreased in weight to start with.
Max tyre pressure is too low for hookless rims
These must be named GP5000 EHL for "endlich hackenlos". And they finally weigh less than wired bead competitor tyres for half of Conti price!

Great, but I bought a new set of GP5000 TR only three weeks ago. At least I know what I will be getting once they are worn down or punctured.
Seems hard to believe they compare to Continental Gator Hardshells toughness. Rolling resistance definitely.
You forgot to add rolling resistance results from independent lab

Better that the gp5000 clincher with latex tube, that'll be interesting
My conti GP 5000s weigh 225g and I just need to add aerothan innertubes (41g). Just don‘t go tubeless with a road bike… too many downsides. Starting with the tire pressure (low = not helping with punctures) and ending at the higher weight.
So can these be ran with a latex inner tube? Im confused!
Great... now, are these gonna be vaporware like 28mm 5000 TLs are these days?
Fast tire, great in the dry on clean roads. Super sketchy in the wet and on dusted roads in the corners. They did seem to have good puncture resistance and lasted until they were worn out which was a first ever! However I'll stick to Vittoria, to unstable in dynamic conditions 👍
GP5000 I consider great performance training tires. Have them on older wheelset and turbo cottons on my higher end wheels. GP5000 are crazy durable and tough compared to real racing tires but gripper/faster than most training tires which makes them a dope middle ground choice for daily rides.
I’ve got no idea if my rims are hookless and whether I need hookless rims for hookless tyres?
Getting them tommorow so I’ll let you know. Tbh I love my current GP5000 so any improvement will be a bonus
Any good ?
@@paulgal very very…. Lasted a whole season on them circa 20,000 KM. Very fast, comfortable and hard wearing. I run TL and every time I had an issue it closed with sealant!! Highly recommend mate
Will it work on Trikes?
Ive just swapped from the stock bontrager versecomp 32c my new bike came with to the clincher Blackchili GP5KS 28c that i got on trade why clincher? Road side ease I'm an amateur i don't need to wine races i need to be able to change tubes quickstyle rapid
Where do I buy these?
I appreciate the video and i'm a fan of Continental, but it's expected around 80 Euros each🙄 (and i guess they last pretty much the same as the 5000's if not less...)
What about its purported mileage?
6 bar max? Isn't that soft as pudding? I don't get it. Can someone explain?
What's the impact to a heavier (95Kg) rider? 72.5 psi seems awfully low. I run 84 psi on my front and 93 psi on my rear, and I currently use the GP5000 TLs and have them set up tubeless.
Hookless Is cx or gravel tech only
I am 96kg , I have been using the 5000str with my hookless zipp running 60-65psi, I don’t find any issue, been riding it for over 2000km

Bit the old non TL GP5000 are lighter; why should I run these if I don’t want a tubeless setup?
These are tubeless tyres, you don't use these if you want tubes
They’re lighter until you put a tube in them. If you don’t want tubeless then you don’t need a tubeless tyre.
Thanks Alex....Peace
They said this when the GP5000 was launched, but GP5000s are prone to punctures they get ripped whenever it happens, I’d go for Vittoria corsas and Pirelli pzeros
Are they still impossible to fit?
