Continental is expanding its road bike tyre portfolio with a new entry-level model with tubeless-ready technology. According to the manufacturer, the Grand Prix TR is intended to make the advantages of the premium tyres accessible to a wider audience. The new tyre is based on the popular Grand Prix 5000 family and incorporates proven technologies such as the BlackChili Compound. This is designed to combine low rolling resistance with good grip. A new 4-layer construction aims to combine low weight with good puncture protection.

Technology and area of application

The Grand Prix TR was developed for cyclists looking for a reliable endurance tyre. Continental is positioning the tyre as a versatile and durable option for training, commuting or long-distance rides. Thanks to the tubeless-ready design, the tyre should offer smooth and safe handling on various road surfaces. Hannah Ferle, Product Manager at Continental Tyres, explains: "With the Grand Prix TR, we have managed to make tubeless-ready technology, strong puncture protection and excellent rolling resistance accessible to a wider audience."

New generation of entry-level road bike tyres

Continental announces the global sales launch for 4 March 2025. The recommended retail price is 61.95 euros per tyre. This means it costs just under 20 euros less than the popular top model, the Grand Prix 5000 S TR.
