Continental GP5000 S TR Tubeless Tyre Transparent

Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Transparent Tyre

The GP5000 S Transparent is Continental’s premium road tyre with a twist — it combines all the speed, comfort, and puncture protection of the GP5000 S TR, but with a darker tan sidewall that looks sharp and stays cleaner than most skinwall tyres. The “transparent” name refers to the visible nylon carcass, which isn’t coated like the standard version.

Why you’d choose it:

• Tubeless or tube setup: Fully tubeless-ready, but can also be run with an inner tube if you prefer. Either way, you’ll get a supple, lightweight tyre with strong sidewalls that resist damage.
• Faster, lighter, tougher: Compared to the previous GP5000, this S TR version is lighter, rolls quicker, and comes with improved sidewall strength for better durability.
• Trusted performance compounds: The German-made Black Chili compound offers that sweet spot between grip, rolling speed, and long mileage. You’ll feel the difference in both wet and dry conditions.
• Comfort and control: Continental’s Active Comfort Technology smooths out vibrations, while the Lazer Grip tread design gives extra bite when leaning into corners.
• Cleaner tan wall look: Unlike lighter skinwalls that stain and discolour quickly, this darker “transparent” wall keeps its appearance longer and is easier to keep clean.

This is a tyre for riders who want top-tier performance but also care about style and practicality. It’s a brilliant choice if you want something that looks classy on modern bikes without the hassle of constantly scrubbing tan sidewalls. Ideal for racing, training, or long days in the saddle when you need a mix of speed, grip, and reliability.
