The Continental GP5000 is one of the best road tyres on the market, and a popular choice with some of the world’s best riders, including the all-conquering Tadej Pogačar. The Slovenian will open his defence of the yellow jersey in Barcelona this weekend as the Tour de France starts in the Catalan capital.
The GP5000 is one of the most expensive road tyres on the market, and as it’s so popular, discounts don’t come around very often. I’ve had a hunt around and found these Tour de France deals on Merlin Cycles. They’re listing the Continental GP5000 S TR down from its usual £84.95 to just £52.95, a huge 38% off.
The deal is the same for US shoppers at Merlin, with 38% off, down to $59.57 from the usual $95.57. Although you will have to pay import duty rates from the UK to the US of around 15%.
Below, I’ve added the UK and US deals at Merlin, and the best US price (without import duty) I could find at Competitive Cyclist. So if you want to see for yourself why the Continental GP5000 S TR is so rated, or if you’re already a fan, then stocking up with this road bike tyre deal is highly recommended.
Continental claims the GP5000 S TR sets the standard in road tubeless-ready tyre technology. The brand also says it’s the lightest, fastest version to date and comes with increased puncture protection. The carcass of the Grand Prix 5000 S TR features a robust construction that is designed to be impervious to damage and penetration from foreign objects.
The German tyre manufacturer says it makes its tyre a versatile, lightweight and attractive offering. It also features the brand’s BlackChili Compound, aimed to deliver the best balance of grip and rolling resistance in a road cycling tyre.
These brand claims come backed by real-world testing and pro-level performance – the GP5000 in the Tour de France claimed the joint title for the most stage wins and was used by more teams in the race than any other.
The price vs performance is the clincher here, making them a bargain buy.
