The Continental GP5000 700x28c folding road tyre is one of the most popular performance road bike tyres around, and it earns that reputation every day on the road. It is built for riders who want fast rolling speed, confident grip, and a smooth ride feel. If you want a tyre that helps you ride further, corner harder, and feel more connected to the road, this is a proven choice.
These are the standard clincher versions designed for use with inner tubes, making them simple, reliable, and easy to live with. They shine on fast bunch rides, long training kilometres, and everyday road cycling where you want a strong balance of speed, comfort, and puncture protection.
Who are these road tyres for?
Ideal for riders who want a high performance all round road tyre without going tubeless. They suit fast recreational cyclists, weekend bunch riders, endurance riders, and anyone who values low rolling resistance with dependable grip in both dry and wet conditions.
Who are these not for?
Not the right choice if you specifically want a tubeless setup, since these require inner tubes. They are also not designed for gravel, rough commuting surfaces, or riders looking for maximum puncture protection above all else.
Why we love it
We have found the GP5000 hits a sweet spot that very few tyres manage. It feels quick straight away, corners predictably, and lasts well for a performance tyre. Our favourite part is how it smooths out road buzz without feeling slow.
Hot tip!
Pair these with quality lightweight inner tubes and keep them inflated correctly for your weight. That is the easiest way to unlock their speed, comfort, and puncture resistance.
