When I first heard the new updated tire I immediately committed to putting them on the race bike for the 2019 season. I've loved, loved, LOVED, the gp4000s ii! Between racing, rain, cruising, puncture protection, stability on hard pack gravel (a couple of the paved trails in the Seattle area haven't been completely asphaulted so you got some hard pack gravel), and yes even light snow on the ground (originally from Wisconsin) the 4000s were/are AMAZING. Have I mentioned 0 punctures during the last two years of exclusively riding the 4000s? Never felt so confident on a tire, I just trust it implicitly. If the 5000s are only a 1% improvement then they will be worth the price to me. These will go on after the winter months and the local crit and track races start, super excited to try them! Thanks for the review, it's what I expect from you and it's fantastic!

Lol chris I live by that M2 entrance and I do that weekly. Only one puncture after a few years of riding. I have been running 4000II for years, think I have gone through 10+ of these. My biggest issue with them is sidewall strengh. Always replaced due to sidewall failures, only had like 2 tires go out due to running out of TWI. Also the late batches had a issue where the fabric wrapping around the bead tends to fray for unknown reason. The fraying became worse and one time the thread was caught and entangled in the gap between the hub cassette. Another time the thread frayed enough it made the sidewall dettach from the bead at one site and a really loud blowout ensued while my bike was (thankfully) parked at a cafe near my home. So if the 5000 can have stronger sidewall that is a good reason to upgrade. But for now, 4000II at $50 each right now is just unbeatable. I rememeber 4000II was sold at 80 bucks few years back, then 64 bucks, then 59 bucks and now 50 bucks. Reckon it takes a while for 5000 to come down huh? UPDATE: according to rollingresistance site the 5000 has less thread and sidewall puncture resistance than 4000II. For about 2 watts saving at 100 psi? Don't think I will buy it.

Forewarning to anyone looking to run these on fulcrums, they are a total pita to get on, had to take them to a shop and it took 3 guys there to get them on... so forget about sticking a tube in them on the side of the road if you flat.

Had been riding Conti GP4000S for 3 years. Problem I have is riding in Abu Dhabi the high temperatures 36 - 50 C during summer seem to wear the tires down very quickly (ie: replaced each 6 months / was also rotating front/back tire for extra life). I new when to change tires as I would start getting punctures or side walls cracked and pinched tubes. Since Pirelli launched their new range of tires, I have been riding on Pirelli Zero's for a year and they have been really good, only 1 puncture so far (touch wood). Admittedly I do not do the km's that you guys do, but still I expect some value for money in a product that you would have thought they would have conducted more testing in extreme conditions. Hope Conti GP 5000's perform much better. Cheers

Doubtful as they are still using the same blackChilli rubber compound. Its a shame but thats how it goes. Even here in Europe where the temperatures are generally cooler, there have been many reports about the sidewalls on the tyre splitting so tyre isnt completely without fault. Hopefully the Pirelli's keep working well for you or you have found another suitable alternative.

Running 90psi rear and 85psi front no marks, cuts or signs of damage, best tyre I have used to date, will now replace my Scwalbe Pro ones on Giant Defy with 28mm 5000's and run them tubeless for touring, Fondos and training.

Hey David can I ask how the 28mm 5000’s go for clearance on your giant Defy? I used to run 28mm 4000’s on my giant Defy and there just wasn’t enough clearance to do it safely in my opinion. I’m now on a TCR and would love to run 28mm but am now running 25mm 4000’s as I’m too scared to run 28mm again due to the clearance issues. Thanks.

Hi Jeremy, I've actually fitted the 25mm 5000's to my Alloy Defy have tried 28mm 4000's but same as you not happy with the minimal clearance (about 1-2mm), have 28mm Scwalbe Pro One's on my carbon Defy but that is a disk brake version so no problems there. Will be changing the Scwalbe's to Conti 5000's in 28mm as soon as I can, not all that happy with the Scwalbe's . The Conti new 5000's in 25mm do appear a bit narrower than my previous 4000's in 25mm, so possibly the 28mm may also be narrower than the 28mm 4000's which measured 30mm on my Dura ace C24 rims. So far extremely happy with the new Conti 5000's in ride quality, handling and speed also lighter when combined with the lightweight Conti Supersonic tubes. Cheers.

Nice W. I think Coyle sums it up nicely, don’t fix what isn’t broken. I love the GP4000II. If they have one downfall it is that they do seem to pick up cuts in the sidewalls and small holes where I ride, which has plenty of little pieces of flint on the road, but I stick a patch inside and that seems to be fine. I was in the bike shop today and the GP5000 were on the shelf for £55, so quite a bit more. I wouldn’t pay the extra, but I’m sure they will be as good if not better. The only thing I don’t think they got right is the packaging. It’s almost all black now. I had to ask if they were in stock, so easy to look straight past them.

Hey, very good review indeed & I totally agree. I always ran 4000's, now have done around 500 or 600 k's on the 5000's and am very impressed. I run 25mm on Shimano RS rims, which are a step down from the Durace's you run, but are the same "looking" rim. Only thing I have noticed of late, there must be a flat spot on either my front or rear, as it feels a bit lumpy or bumpy?! on smooth surfaces. I have a Merida Scultura 5000, run about 105 psi and weigh 79 kgs. I can't see any mark on the tyres, but I must have locked a brake at some stage. Is this likely to go back to smooth after a considerable amount of riding or could my wheels need truing? I haven't hit any noticeable pot holes or anything? (BTW that Bianchi - wow, that is a magnificent looking frame!)

The sidewalls aren't reinforced and their bead isn't hookless compatible. Essentially you're getting a normal tire that works with sealant. Many people on the forums and on Reddit have issues with these tires: damage on the fragile sidewalls runs them inoperable! So *not* a proper tubeless tire!

Great Tip dan! I'll keep my eye out for them, as for decal options on the 5000s, I don't believe there are are variations at this stage. Though my guess is once we see the tubeless versions hit the market we will see some updates

Dan M It’s a shame they aren’t available in 23mm. My wheelsets (bora and shamal) are all 17c internal and I’ve found the 23mm Conti’s create the best profile/shape on this size of rim

Never really been a Conti fan, as I run tubulars mostly and the Competition tyres are a HUGE hassle to put on, so I am a Veloflex fan. Contis were the standard some years ago for clinchers, but I do believe the other manufacturers have caught up. The new Graphene Vittorias are really good, especially the speed version, just magic, but you only get 1000km out of them. I don’t know about the 5000s but I always felt the 4000s a bit harsh on the ride.

This bike was really easy to assemble kzitem.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.

The Conti gp 5000 tyres are crap. Your in Australia where the weather is much better. Try riding them on wet, muddy and pot hole strewn UK roads in the winter they are crap. I flatted from a piece of glass which left a slash about 15mm wide across the tyre on only the second ride on them. I've flatted a further twice on them since so that's 3 times in about six weeks, I only use the bike they are fitted to on my Sunday club rides. Every puncture has been in the back wheel. I'm going to give the Pirelli Cinturato velo ltr tyres ago I know their roling resistance is a lot higher 15 watts compared to 10 for the conti gp 5000 but I would rather be slower and not be flatting on nearly every ride as these are clearly not a winter tyre and I will get another gp 5000 tyre and run them with a tyre liner in the summer months when the roads are dryer and cleaner here in the UK. This is just my experience with them. The gp 4000s tyres are excellent thought I've done 1500 miles on those so far and not a single puncture or cut on them though those miles were all logged in the summer on nearly all dry fairly warm days only a couple of wet weather rides.

I got this tyre. Clincher of course. At first i did not expect much even though i’ve read and watched some review until recently i rode with my friends at night. In that ride, i rode off glass, screws and light reflectors accidentally. And to my surprise the tyre held well. I was so sure my rim will cracked but i’m wrong. I’ll suggest anyone to go for this tyre

Hi Chris. Does the durability of 5000 is good or the same as 4000?
@ChrisMillerCycling
5 жыл бұрын
Hey Tom, in all honesty I'm finding the 5000s slightly less durable then the 4000. That said, I have only had 1 flat tyre and that was during the gravel and tar UCI race, that saw 40km of gravel riding. The reason I say they are less durable is just the rubber seems slightly more cut up then the 4000 would be.
