Continental Grand Prix 700c Folding Road Tire (Black)
0150837
A 700x28c folding road tire for riders who want the famous BlackChili compound and Grand Prix 5000-inspired tread on an everyday tire, with a 3-ply casing built for training, commuting and long rides.
Overview
The Grand Prix is Continental's do-it-all road tire, made for every kind of ride from training to commuting and long distance. It takes its tread pattern from the iconic Grand Prix 5000 and pairs it with the BlackChili compound, the tread rubber Continental developed to balance grip, rolling resistance and mileage.
This 700x28c (28-622) folding version uses a new 3-ply construction with a 3 x 180 tpi carcass, which gives good puncture protection and rolling resistance without moving into a heavier touring tire. It is E-25 rated, so it can also be fitted to e-bikes assisted up to 25 km/h, and comes in black.
At 28 mm wide, it offers a comfortable, stable ride on mixed road surfaces while staying easy to handle and quick to roll. It suits riders who want a modern, well-known tire family without stepping up to race-level pricing.
Why You'll Like It
BlackChili grip and efficiency
The BlackChili compound is Continental's own tread rubber, developed to combine dependable grip with low rolling resistance for confident cornering and braking.
Grand Prix 5000 styling and heritage
The tread pattern is inspired by the Grand Prix 5000, so the tire looks and feels part of the same performance family.
Puncture resistance from 3-ply construction
The 3-ply casing is designed to give good puncture protection, which helps on roads with debris and rough patches.
Comfortable 28 mm volume
The recommended pressure for the 28 mm size is 6.5 bar, a comfortable setting that helps take the edge off rough tarmac.
Foldable and e-bike ready
The folding bead makes it easy to carry as a spare, and the E-25 rating allows use on e-bikes assisted up to 25 km/h.
Who Is It For?
This tire is a strong choice for riders who train regularly, commute by road bike, or head out on long weekend rides and want a dependable, well-regarded tire. It is a natural upgrade for anyone moving on from a basic tire to a BlackChili-compound tire.
For riders in India, the 28 mm width and 3-ply construction are well suited to the mix of smooth highways and patched city roads. It is also a good replacement tire for a road bike that came with lower-spec rubber.
Good to Know
Confirm that your rims accept a 28 mm 700c (ISO 622) tire before fitting. This is a folding tire designed for use with an inner tube. Continental recommends 6.5 bar for the 28-622 size, and staying within that guidance gives the best balance of comfort and speed. This is the current Grand Prix model, which is a separate tire from the Grand Prix 5000 range, so choose it when you want this specific 3-ply, E-25 rated build. Keep a spare folded in a saddle bag for quick roadside changes.
