Product news: Continental is expanding its range of racing bike tires and is presenting the new Continental Grand Prix TR. This tire combines proven technologies with a new, 4-layer carcass construction that offers an optimal ratio of weight, puncture protection and rolling resistance. Developed for riders looking for a reliable all-round tire, the Grand Prix TR is ideal for both daily training and long distances.
With the increasing popularity of tubeless tires in the racing bike sector, the Grand Prix TR closes a gap in Continental's portfolio. The new construction is not only lighter than comparable models, but also enables better damping and traction thanks to lower tire pressure. The tire is also hookless compatible, which means it harmonizes with modern rim systems.
We recognized that many riders want to experience the benefits of our performance road bike tires in a more accessible package. With the Grand Prix TR, we're making tubeless-ready technology appealing to a wider audience and combining it with strong puncture protection and excellent rolling resistance. – Hannah Ferle, Product Manager at Continental Tires
Proven technology from the premium segment
The Continental Grand Prix TR is based on the successful Grand Prix 5000 family and uses Continental's BlackChili Compound - a special rubber mixture that ensures outstanding grip and minimal rolling resistance. The 4-layer construction improves puncture resistance, while the optimized tread design ensures high mileage and control on various road surfaces.
