I have had huge issues with the S4000s so far (mostly grip and roundness which sucks). I have also had huge issues with competition tubulars (roundness and ease of installation). Dunno if I would try this brand again, I would go for the expensive lines of Vittoria.

Depends on the price. Had the gp4000 for almost 6000km and still about a third in the front and 2/5 in the rear tread. Now they are quite squared off, so cornering is a bit weird At 35€/tire thats quite some mileage/€. Hope that they still have a 23mm version. Can't stand it when tires are way too wide for the rim

Best thing about the GP5000? The 4000 sii will be cheaper now!

@@aitoraltuna I'm not so sure. Conti will surely produce them for some years, since it' the golden standard and therefore hard to simply get off peoples minds. Also, after some time, the gp 5000 will probably drop down to 35€/£ and be similar to the gp4000

when i learned to do track stands, i found after like 30 minutes, and riding backwards in a circle on my track bike, and doing no hands track stands... there is just one thing i could not do... pour a proper cup of coffee and present it like Manon. even now in my 60s i still track stand at lights (unless downhill). a skill you don't forget, even if you did not do it for 20 years.

Just got mine in the mail today. No issues with installation and I'm not an experienced bike mech. Just needed a plastic lever to get that last bit over. Can't give any real review cause I just rode them around the neighborhood, but one immediate first impression, they ride so much smoother than my stock Bontrager tires.

I have the GP 4000s II on my 3 bikes and love them. Can't wait to try the 5000's. Great vid.

I'm ordering a pair of these continental GP 5000 this week! Can't wait for them!

Ollie is starting to 'rock'! Excellent video. Conti 5000's in my future.

I will definitely have to try these next spring!

Well I'm looking forward to the 4000s going on sale.

Perfect timing! I just blew a 1/2cm hole in my GP4000’s running over glass an hour ago!

Love Ollies enthusiasm for the new tyres.......... I'm feeling the same way about them actually!!!

GCN is the Top Gear of bicycle shows. I could listen to Ollie narrate the dictionary! Great Stuff :)

Awesome, now I know what my new tubeless will be!

Got these on my bike. I'm ancient so very used to thinner tyres and have 23s. They are really confidence inspiring and because they are now a few years old I was able to get them on sale. I think the thing I notice which most surprised me is the deform really well whne encountering things you would expect to give pinch punctures without doing so.

I have a pair of 32 mm GP5000 on my bike and really like them. Glad they make them in a 32! While Ollie’s track stand was impressive, I was more impressed by his explanation of the chemistry of the fiber used for the Vectran Breaker 😉

I'll be getting a pair for sure. It's about time Continental stepped up to the tubeless game.

Very good video. Congrats!!!

Great video Ollie, I used to love your presenting style on that other website you worked for and always loved your tongue in cheek humour as well as getting the point across! 👍🏻👍🏻 Has anyone ever said you like scarilly like a young Ray Mears( the survival expert bloke on TV)🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for your GREAT review! I just ordered 2 ea. 700x25 tubeless ones for my Cannondale System six with Knot 64 wheels. I ride daily to work and really rely upon my tires. I'm a big fella (230lbs) and run 120psi (rear) & 100 in the front. I also use "finish line" tire sealant.

Great vid Oli. Big fan of the gp4000. The 5000s sound even better. Glad to hear conti now make a tubeless road tyre too.

After years on GP4000 2s I switched to the 5000s (25mm clinchers) and love 'em. An even smoother ride, great grip and they seem to roll faster. No punctures to date either. The only areas I still have a question mark are wear and compound deterioration in hot sun. In the sun the compound does start to change, seeming to shrivel a bit on the surface, which the 4000s also did. But they're still riding great.

That bike is sick Ollie!

I have the tubeless ones and absolutely love them

I missed a lot of what you were saying because I was drooling over that Trek Madone. That is, by far, the sexiest bike I've ever seen. Especially with that paint job. Lucky man.

Got my 5000's fitted a few weeks back but, still have 4000's on my other bike and the difference is quite noticeable. More grip on the corners and faster. It might be just because they are new but, they feel good to me!

Classic Ollie with just a pinch of Clarkson. Love it!

More than a pinch, at least a dash, maybe a gravy. It's a lot of Clarkson. (And I'm not complaining.)

I've been using the GP5000's pretty much since they came out, done countless miles on them, I think they're a great durable fast tyre, I even went to length of putting a pair on a hire bike on holiday last year, sad but true! I'm a fan of the Conti GP 4 seasons too which I run on my winterbike, they give me good confidence in naff conditions and have yet to let me down.

Had no prob with this vid. Looks like he was just presenting technical facts. It was cool to see how they're made. I've been running Conti's exclusively for years now, after having tried other brands, and have been very pleased with their performace all around. Between Gatorskin, 4 Season, and Grand Prix I've been pretty well covered. Three things you never skimp on: Shoes, mattresses, and tires Sweet ride Ollie, and the track stand was a nice touch Cheers

What a beautiful bike mate

Does Paid Promotion mean GCN can't offer subjective advice? This was pretty much just an infomercial. Great that GCN are transparent about this but if it's nothing more than reading a spec sheet you could see that elsewhere.

@@Einhander49 "the content's quality would diminish exponentially" I would argue personally that this is not necessarily the case. I feel the quality of GCN videos has been diluted at the expense of quantity (and also quantity of presenters). Realise this is all subjective but I find myself watching less GCN videos these days than I did a couple of years ago before the continuous infomercials. I also think there was a valuable chemistry between the original core presenters (think Top Gear etc) which has been lost over recent months.

Indeed Olly, these new GP5000 Chili’s in tubeless look refreshingly delicious! Now if you please, I’ll have a spot of tea whilst I wait.

Ollie usually speaks as if he's announcing something. Emphasizing Just about Every Other Word. It's super weird when he's doing a casual segment or vlog, but it fits better in formal review videos like these. Great review.

Great video Oli, you managed whole 6 minutes without one of those awkward unfunny attempts at humour , you still managed an interesting and engaging video, keep it up.

that Trek though 😍😍😍

Had to watch 3 times due to blind bike wow 😍

It would be nice for you to do a head to head comparison of the 4000 & 5000s. Over a course that was flat, up down and twisty wet and dry. For the wet bit, squirt the road down with a fire hose. To validate if you can notice the improvements. Only over time will you be able to testify to their durability and pucnture resistance.

OMG!! That bike is so f...ing gorgeous!!! So both Ollie and Si got a brand new Trek Madone😜

I bet two things: 1. a GCN unboxing of these and 2. A winner who once again isn’t me😂

Nice bike, and tyres.

Oli I love your bike paint job....

GCN is making me infatuated with road bike tires 😍😍😍😍

They got me at tubeless, finally!

Explicating the lower rolling resistance of the new 5000's vs the previous 4000's, at 1:40 Ollie says "and a higher 330tpi - that's threads per inch - carcass". The set of new GP4000SII's in my closet came in Conti boxes which display a diagram of the carcass indicating "330 tpi". Ditto for a set of Attack/Force Contis I have. So the 330tpi (actually three 110tpi plies I believe) is not "new" to the 5000's.

I don’t care if it sounded like an infomercial. I’m now informed. Thank you Ollie and I hope Continental let you keep that now used pair of 5000s.

Superb bike. Ollie is a great presenter - good steal from CW.

i bought a pair recently and LOVE them. i compared them with my specialized roubaix tires. GP 5000 ARE faster, feel better cornering, the grip is definitely there even in rain (which surprised me). Mind you i used laytex tubes. but in conclusion, i have my specialized on backup wheelset, and will only buy continentals from now on. the price difference is not that big either.

Does it mapper in which direction they are fitted

SOOO GOOOD!

I've been using the GP 4000s II and am delighted that Conti was able to increase the puncture resistance while still improving the tyre in all other respects, too. That was no small feat! I'll definitely consider the GP 5000 once my stock of 4000s II has been used. As for the tubeless version -- I'm glad Conti is going to provide it, but it's a non-starter for me because of the sealant. The sealant makes tyre changes messy, has a limited lifespan and must be regularly removed and replaced, adds weight to the wheel, and can ruin your kit if you puncture and it sprays on you while your wheel is spinning (it can take a few revolutions before a puncture seals). For mountain or gravel, tubeless makes a lot of sense. For smoothly paved and clean roads, tubes are still the best.

Good job, great presenting, lots of facts. Like listening to Jeremy Clarkson

Geeking out right along with you. Unfortunately the season is pretty much over here. No matter how good they are, they won't seem much better when my bikes up on the trainer. But I'll definitely be picking up a pair for my carbon climber before the spring... I've been a die hard of the 4000s for my carbon and the Gatorskins for my Ti touring bike. Conti is amazing - better performance and fewer punctures is a great combination!
