The hardcore racers!
Our Vectran and Black Chili technologies have been radically
applied to this uncompromising race tyre set. The new
GP Attack benefi ts from its special version of our Black
Chili compound that gives the streamlined 22 mm front tyre
more grip with lower rolling resistance. The optimum front
wheel tyre gets you quickly into the turns, feeling light and
responsive whilst providing ample service life.
The new GP Force is a powerful rear wheel specialist and
with its 24 mm section combined with a fast Black Chili
compound, it gives excellent traction and road handling
that’s second to none. Both tyres are made with Vectran
puncture protection and show wear and tear levels via
indicators in the tread, details that show professionals are
at work.
Fast, smart, special.
The Grand Prix 4000s boasts global appeal as the best
all round race bike tyre on the market. Not only is it fast
and super grippy, thanks to its state of the art Black Chili
rubber compound, but it is also tough with a healthy tread
layer and of course our Vectran anti puncture breaker
layer underneath.
So for reliability, longevity and all out performance for your
race machine, the GP 4000s is the only choice.
The star in the peloton!
For the coloured GP 4000 tyres, the activated silica compound
improves the handling at stability limits and gives
great rolling resistance. The anti-tear formula in the rubber
compound prevents tread brittleness while increasing
mileage performance. Xirallic colours give your machine a
look of stylish elegance. The extra special thing about the
GP 4000 and GP 4000s is their puncture protection made
from Vectran liquid crystal fi bres.
The patented Vectran Breaker reconciles the confl icting
goals of low weight, low rolling resistance and top puncture
and cut resistance in a fascinating manner. The Vectran
fl uid crystal fi bres were developed for airbag systems in
the automotive and aerospace industries. The material is
extremely tear and cut resistant and is also fl exible.
It retains these properties even under constant stress –
as opposed to Aramid.
