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
tyres.
The 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.

The 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.
The new tread
Features new tread wear indicators to help riders gauge the life of
their GP4000 tyre. On the one hand you don't lose mileage
performance by prematurely replacing the tyre and on the other you
don't risk safety by using the tyre beyond its tread service
life
The new colours
In addition to the popular ground colours, we offer the Grand Prix
4000 in brand new Xserallic colours 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 tyres at the
world championships and Olympic Games. Or would you prefer a deep
metallic blue in combination with a silver painted frame?
