Continental Grand Prix 4000s II Cycling Tire, Black, 700 x 28C
Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II: The grand prix 4000 s II is the reference tire on the market and has already gone through many stages of evolution. We are giving the flagship a new face. The discreet bead strip makes it possible to perfectly color coordinate to the bike without forgoing Black Chili tread performance. We have also expanded the size range: an additional 28 mm version provides better grip under poor conditions, improved puncture protection and greater comfort. The proven cornerstones of the 4000 s II remain unchanged: Vectran breaker for unsurpassed puncture protection, Black Chili compound for low rolling resistance and sensational grip – handmade of course in Germany. The Grand Prix 4000 S II is the ideal combination of comfort, puncture protection, and low rolling resistance. It’s the perfect all-rounder for all conceivable conditions with excellent puncture protection thanks to Vectran puncture protection and BlackChilli’s high mileage rolling efficiency. Handmade in Germany. Superior grip and less rolling resistance. Features: This unique tread rubber mixture which is only produced in Continental’s German factory has revolutionized bicycle tires. BlackChili Compound improves rolling resistance by 26 % and provides 30 % more grip than activated silica compounds. Premium tires with BlackChili Compound also impress with higher mileage and unlike many multi-compounds, provide a consistent ride from the first to the last mile.

Best tire on the market I have three bikes and two of them have Conti 4000 S, and my third bike the new version 4000 S II. This is a long lasting tire. I would not put anything else on my bikes. There’s a reason its the most popular tire on the road for racing,century rides or training. Yes, it’s expensive but the performance and puncture resistance is sooo worth it. Changing from the stock tire that came on my first bike to the 4000 S was a night and day difference in feel and handling. The center of the tire has…
Great, Overall Road Tire – Highly Recommend
Satisfied My road bike came with Hutchinson Nitro 2 tires on it. The rear Nitro 2 went flat, early on, during two rides in a row from what seemed really little insignificant little pieces of steel – almost like steel dust – so it got changed out for a Conti Gatorskin (more weight on the rear means more flats, or the chance for more flats). The front Nitro 2, however, I’ve kept on the bike for about 1600 or 1800 miles. Finally wishing to invest in my bike, and lighten the rotating mass (wire beads to…
