Continental launched the Grand Prix 5000 S TR-the latest tubeless bicycle tire focused on performance, joining the award-winning Grand Prix 5000 series. Compared with the Grand Prix 5000 TL, the new S TR is lighter, faster, stronger and easier to install as a tubeless tire than the Grand Prix 5000 TL. It is designed to be the ultimate performance-focused road tire-no matter which cyclist chooses A way of riding on the road. Compared with Grand Prix 5000 TL tires, the new Grand Prix 5000 S TR [tubeless ready] tires will provide higher speed, performance and sidewall protection, easier to install, new hook-free compatibility, and lighter weight.
Thanks to the 2-layer structure, the new STR speed has been increased by 20%, the weight has been reduced by 50 grams, and the sidewall protection has increased by 28%. S TR is available in black or black and transparent sidewall colors, using Continental’s patented BlackChili compound to achieve the ultimate balance of rolling resistance, grip and service life; Vectran Breaker provides puncture protection and tear resistance, and Lazer Grip provides excellent cornering performance. Continental did not simply update the Grand Prix 5000 TL, but redesigned their tubeless road tire approach. Thanks to the new user-optimized tubeless system and sturdy structure, S TR is hook-less compatible and tubeless ready as standard configuration. * The new structure makes tire installation easier, while providing better support on the road to achieve confident and dynamic handling.
In 2021, Grand Prix 5000 S TR has been tested by multiple teams in professional teams in training, racing and performance laboratories. This season, Grand Tour stage champions and world champions have ridden it-including Fillipo Ganna’s World Championship time trial victory in September. This latest high-performance tire is launched on the occasion of Continental celebrating its 150th anniversary, demonstrating that the brand has always been committed to staying at the forefront of innovation in the mobile sector. This new tire has been in development since 2019 and has completed more than 18 months of product testing and trials.
Al Hamilton PEZ sez: A few years ago I had a pair of Continental tires, I think they are GP4000, I only remember that they are very wear-resistant, it is difficult to enter the rim. As you might expect, German engineering is robust, robust and reliable.
When I received the Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR, I expected quality, but they are also very light, 700 x 25 weighing 250 grams, even though I call them 245 grams. When asked what size I rode, I said I would use 25 or 28. I am happy to say that Continental sent 25 because you can blow them up to 100psi. The roads where I live are flat, so high pressure is okay.
Unlike the previous “Conti” tires, the 5000 is not more difficult to install than any other tires I have. A lever and all the skin are still on my fingers. The only problem is to find the “rotating” arrow. I guess the tire direction will make the tip of the tread point forward, but it’s better to be sure. I finally found the arrow with a flashlight, but there was nothing on the instructions or on the website.
So how do they feel on the road? I have been using Italian tires, the same company that makes F1 tires, they are roughly the same weight and look very similar. It will be interesting to see if I can feel the difference. I am running tires and tubes, there are no tubeless tubes here. Due to time constraints, before writing this short review, I have only one chance to ride, but the first impression is usually the best comparison. For comfort, they feel the same as the previous tires, but there must be a kind of “vigour” when removed from the saddle when climbing short distances, and a safe “grip” in corners. I would also like to say that they feel they roll better when they fall. All in all, I want to say that the GP 5000 is an improvement: easy to install and ride. I have an all-black version, but the transparent side tires do look good.
Santini has been selected as the sponsor of the 2022 Tour de France: the Italian cycling apparel company will launch a men’s and women’s collection at the famous amateur cycling race on Sunday, July 10th next week. These series will be available for purchase on Village and brand websites.

The iconic climbing route of the French Mountain is for riders.
Next year’s edition will be held on Sunday, July 10, 2022, when the large forces will face Alpe d’Huez in Isère, France. As one of the most insidious and hardest climbs in the entire Alps, this epic challenge includes 21 hairpin turns, numbered in descending order to help the increasingly weary cyclist complete these challenges.
Santini Collection Santini will produce a series of cycling wear for L’Étape du Tour de France, including men’s suits and women’s suits, windproof vests and accessories such as gloves, hats and socks. Men’s suits are a mixture of dark blue and black, while women’s suits are dark blue and light blue. The Italian company also expanded its capsule collection by adding a cotton T-shirt with the same pattern as the rest of the kit and a water bottle.
Developed the Santini design team coordinated by Fergus Niland. These series are a tribute to the history of Alpe d’Huez and its debut in the Tour de France in 1952. Fausto Coppi won that year, and the image used for the jersey background was taken from the L’Équipe newspaper edition published the day after he won. The white and red stripes in the center of the jersey are also a tribute to the colors of the jerseys worn by the great Italian cyclists and their teams of that period. A large number of other graphic elements also refer to Coppi: including the words “L’aigle solitaire au sommet de l’Alpe d’Huez”, the 1952-2022 logo on the sleeve, and the 70th anniversary of victory and Alpe d’Huez included on the Grande Boucle route .
CADEX extends the experience with the introduction of AR handlebars. The 190g CADEX AR handlebar is a lightweight one-piece carbon fiber handlebar that provides excellent control and maximum comfort on rough roads and mixed terrain.
CADEX, a manufacturer of high-performance bicycle products, today announced the launch of their second handlebar and their first all-road condition product, the CADEX AR handlebar. The rod weighs only 190 grams (size 420 mm) and uses an innovative one-piece non-bonded mold structure.

This ultra-light but super-strong composite handlebar sets a new standard for high-performance all-road riding.
The CADEX AR handlebar uses the same precision carbon fiber laminate technology as CADEX WheelSystems, and the unique one-piece non-adhesive mold structure that debuted on the ultra-light CADEX Race handlebar earlier this year. This single-piece composite structure eliminates the excess weight and inherent bending existing in the bonded joints of traditional three-piece steel bars, thereby making the steel bars both light and strong.
