Excellent Puncture Protection Properties

The same construction as the GP4000 but with a new BlackChili special compound. The S stands for sport, special, and schwarz - the german term for black.

The all black Grand Prix 4000 S catches the eye with its big silver labels. It matches every high-end race bike perfectly and can do more than just look good.

With the new Black Chili Compound rolling resistance is reduced by 26%, grip is increased by 30% and mileage is increased by 5%.

The new compound: The carbon filler particles within the rubber compound are reduced to 1/10th of the size of standard carbon particles. This creates a closer knit with the particles having more points of contact with each other, thus forming a tighter bond, (increasing mileage performance) and also with the road (increasing grip). Also the way in which the particles interact with each other has a dramatic effect on reducing rolling resistance. Black Chili has been used by several ProTour teams since 2007.

Vectran anti puncture protection: 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.

Features:

  • New Black Chili compound
  • Black Chili gives a lower rolling resistance and higher grip
  • An ideal secret weapon for the season's main objective
  • Vectran anti-puncture technology, tougher than aramid
  • Striking silver sidewall logo

Specifications:

  • Size: 700 x 23c
  • TPI: 330
  • Ply: 3
  • Bead: Folding
  • Rim type: Clincher
  • Weight: 205g
  • Rec. Inflation Pressure: 110 psi
  • Max. Inflation Pressure: 120 psi

Please note - these tyres have wear indicators in the tread which resemble two indents in the rubber. These are meant to be there. When they disappear it’s time to consider replacing your tyres - Simple really.

CONTINENTAL GP 4000S Road Tyre - 700 x 23c 4.8 5 50 50
Great Tyre Great Tyre - feels very sound on the road, wears well and appears to cope with Christchurch roads pretty well! Good to see them on sale occasionally. 27 March 2013
Best tyres out there Excellent, perfect for all weather, great ride. Great grip. 20 March 2013
Super puncture resistance and excellent road-holding abilities Done 3000km on my first set of these - no punctures, good handling on some pretty slippery, windy hills. Still some 1000's km left on the back tyre. 19 March 2013
great all rounder These are great allround tyres. Good grip, great rolling and a good deal of puncture resistance. This is the second pair I buy from T7 at a great price. The best features of the GP4000 is the ease of handle when you need to change a tube and the great durability. if there's a con to these, it's that when damage occurs (which eventually will happen) they're gonners, go back home and get a new one otherwise you'll end up with the same problem the next ride. 19 March 2013
Excellent all round tyre - good grip and puncture resistant I have been running these tyres for a few seasons now, and am happy to use them as my standard tyre. They wear well, seem puncture resistant (only 1 puncture in 4 tyres). You need to watch out for de-lamination around the side walls, but this has never occurred until the tyre is getting worn anyway. Look for the sales, as these tyres are good value at <$50. 19 March 2013
Great value Couldn't pass up on the price offered, so got 2. Thought about buying the company 18 March 2013
Great product - highly recommended On my third set of these and find them to be a great tyre. The set that I am using at the moment hes done over 2000kms and are still going. They provide plenty of grip and I have not had a flat tyre since I started using these. 18 March 2013
The best allround tyre going. This is the most puncture resistent tyre I have used yet it is light enough for racing. 18 March 2013

Answer: 
Taupo is an awesome ride and this tyre would be fine. Its a grippy tyre with quite a low rolling resistance to help you complete your lap in record time.

Answer: 
Definitely, they have good puncture resistance, but don't sacrifice ride quality, grip or speed. If you do manage to puncture one, repairing it is very easy and fast because they have Kevlar beads. They seem to be the ultimate road endurance tyre without being so focused on the endurance part that they sacrifice performance.

Answer: 
Yes! I successfuly completed the 2012 LTCC 160km Solo on these, with no punctures and no worries. They are pretty quick tyres for the price. Can't go wrong IMHO.

Answer: 
Definitely, I have used them for the past 3 years without a problem.
They may not be the fastest but I prefer a heavier duty tyre that gives me more resistance to punctures with a good degree of grip on the down hills. Hope that helps.

Answer: 
Sure would! They are a race tyre - meaning they'll give you a fast ride, with awesome puncture protection and road-holding. It pays to wear them in a bit first, by riding them for a few weeks before the event.
