The legend lives! The name Continental Grand Prix has become a brand in its own right in cycling circles. The Grand Prix is THE classic tire and a sign to quality and performance, a claim which appears again in the new Grand Prix. Like its predecessor, the new generation is eager to set own standards. The new Grand Prix leads the trend towards wide tires in cycling. Wider tires roll easier, have a higher mileage and offer more comfort and grip. The main size of the Grand Prix is 28 mm. Wide enough to show off the advantages of wider tires, but still light and slim enough to be built into any racing machine.
