The Grand Prix 5000 S Tubeless Ready is lighter, faster, and features a reinforced sidewall. It sets the standard for road bike tubeless ready technology. Ride faster, more comfortably, and with even greater puncture protection. Vectran is a high-tech fiber made synthetically, inspired by nature. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid crystalline polymer. Vectran is spun from the molten liquid polymer Vectra and further processed into a multi-fiber yarn. Both spider silk and Vectran have an enormous tear resistance at minimal weight. These properties are ideal for use as a puncture protection insert in a Continental top tire. A Vectran breaker is lighter, more flexible, and provides more effective protection against cuts than comparable nylon breakers, without affecting rolling resistance.

Source: GalaxusConti doesn't shy away: top marks for rolling resistance and puncture protection, ahead in terms of weight. Only the slightly increased effort required to fit the tyres and the high price tarnish the happiness. Test victory!
The Grand Prix 5000S achieves a top value for rolling resistance. Grip and comfort are top notch. The weight is still within the green zone for a tubeless model. In the puncture protection tests, the 5000S makes it into the top ranks. The initial fitting, however, is somewhat difficult.
