GRAND PRIX 4000


The Grand Prix 4000 works on every road surface, transforming the demands of different styles of riding and supplies extremely long-term performance. It also achieves expectations in precision and production quality. The new reference standard for racing tires.
NEW
PUNCTURE RESISTANCE
The all new Vectran breaker belt, developed and patented by Continental,
surpasses even the famous puncture resistance of the former leader in this
category, the GP3000. The extremely strong Vectran fabrics are more flexible and
lighter than all other puncture protection materials. Vectran offers more
resistance to cuts than Aramid, is five times as strong as steel and features
less weight than a nylon double breaker. It also maintains strength in the wet.
NEW COMPOUND
The advanced Activated Silica Compound (ASC) increases the handling threshold
for even safer yet faster cornering and reduces the rolling resistance of the
Grand Prix 4000. A new anti-cracking formula prevents UV light from damaging the
compound and increases the mileage performance.
NEW
TREAD
Features new tread wear indicators to help riders gauge the life of their GP4000
tire. On the one hand you don't lose mileage performance by prematurely
replacing the tire and on the other you don't risk safety by using the tire
beyond its tread service life
NEW COLORS
In addition to the popular ground colors, we offer the Grand Prix 4000 in brand
new Xserallic colors from the Merck Corporation. For example, the new gold,
silver and bronze options serve as an indicator to the medals that were won on
Continental tires at the world championships and Olympic Games. Or would you
prefer a deep metallic blue in combination with a silver painted frame?
