The Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR in 35 mm carries over the GP 5000 line’s performance road DNA into a much wider section. It targets riders who want more comfort and security over long distances, without switching to a gravel tyre.

Usage

This 35 mm option is designed mainly for modern road bikes – endurance or all-road – with generous tyre clearance. It comes into its own on broken tarmac, long rides, demanding sportives and ultra-distance events.

Key features

• Size: 700 x 35C / 35-622
• Setup: Tubeless Ready, to be used in line with Continental’s recommendations
• Technologies: BlackChili, Active Comfort Technology, Lazer Grip
• Colour: black sidewall
• Measured weight: over 360 g per tyre

Things to note

On a wide rim, the tyre may measure larger than 35 mm. Check you have sufficient frame and fork clearance before mounting. The higher weight makes it less suitable if you prioritise an ultra-light, super-snappy build.

Our take

This GP 5000 S TR in 35 mm is a very compelling option for riding fast, for a long time. It retains convincing road manners while adding a clear boost in comfort and confidence. It’s not the most logical pick for short-course racing, but it’s a genuine contender for modern endurance.
