New highly awaited top of the line road tyre from Continental. The Grand Prix 4000 works on every road surface, transforming the demands of different styles of riding and supplies extremely long-term performance.

The successor to the highly popular Grand Prix 3000 it now has 20% less rolling resistance and a lighter weight.

Continental are the first company to implement Vectran technology into bicycle tyres. This multibred thermoplastic yarn is made from melted Vectran and is the only liquid crystal polymer fibre in the world made from a spinning process. Advantages over armid and nylon puncture protection systems include near zero moisture absorption, excellent fatigue performance, improved dimensional stability and better resistance to flex/fold/buckling, essential for reliability in low tension flexing or induced twisting in fabric, rope, or cable applications.

Vectran Breaker: The innovation in puncture protection. Made from melted Vectra Liquid Crystal Polymer, Vectran is the only LCP fibre in the world, made using a spinning process Vectran is lightweight, extremely durable, resistant to water is five times stronger than steel. Conti tyres which include one or sometimes two layers of Vectran under the tread are some of the toughest and lightweight bicycle tyres available.

Vectran is used in extreme sports applications such as sailcloth for offshore competition yachts. It is also used by NASA to make airbags for absorption during lunar landings.

About Tyres - Road Race

These tyres are for racing style bikes that use clincher/hooked rims, these are the most common fitment and hook onto the rim and require an inner tube. There is a wide choice of tyres within this category and the right choice is important. Lighter tyres will accelerate quickly, but will be more prone to punctures so getting a balance is extremely important. If you require a tyre for all round use look for something with puncture protection, an average TPI(Threads Per Inch) and average weight. If you require a fast tyre and speed is the only thing that matters look for a low weight folding tyre with high TPI. If durability is your priority and speed is not so important look towards the puncture resistant tyres and consider going for a wider tyre, these will be less prone to punctures and offer a bit more comfort. For wet road conditions a triple compound or winter tyre is a good choice, these use a softer compound on the cornering surface to maximise grip.

Continental was founded in Hanover in 1871, manufacturing started with rubber products, rubberized fabrics and solid tyres for carriages and bicycles. Since then Continental have been constantly developing tyre technology in both the automotive sector and cycle industry. Continental bicycle tyres have been the popular choice for many pro road teams, including Team T-Mobile (Germany), Credit Agricole (France), and Saunier Duval (Spain). Individual road heroes like Jan Ullrich, Erik Zabel, Bradley Wiggins, Axel Merckx, Robbie McEwen and Peter van Petegem have all ridden on Continental tyres from one victory to another. On the MTB side the Conti brand is chosen by the Reevax Team (BEL), Team Cannondale (USA), Team Focus (GER). All have come to rely and thank the typical Continental advantages: extremely lightweight, exceptional handling in a big variety of conditons and high puncture resistance.
