Vectran puncture protection
Lighter and faster than the GP3000
Black Chili compound raises the bar in terms of performance characteristics, using carbon nano particles which bind with each other far better than bigger particles within the compound, for better grip tougher wear AND lower rolling resistance

  Road Cycling Uk Review For some reason, instead of coming up with an entirely new model called, perhaps, the GP5000, Conti stuck with the GP4000 label and added an S to denote the use of the new compound. The tread pattern is the same, and the tyre is currently on offer in the 23c format with more to follow. Virtually identical to the 4000 in appearance, the 4000S is a very different animal in practice. RCUK's editor, writer Rich Land and Letourguide.com writer Dave Harmon have all put in some serious mileage in all conditions on the tyre, and the conclusion is universally favourable; not one puncture over perhaps 6000 miles, a good wear rate and, crucially considering the failings of the old tyre, almost incredible wet weather grip as was amply proven by RCUK's ed. in the Dartmoor Classic. As for the claimed 30% reduction in rolling resistance, this probably translates to about 5% in practice, which is still worthwhile on its own. Let's just say that with the 4000S, the great tyre promised by the 4000 has finally arrived.
