Continental has launched a collector’s edition GP5000 S TR<\/a> tyre today in collaboration with Tadej Poga\u010dar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You could argue that Poga\u010dar is at the peak of his powers right now. Winning a record-equalling fifth Tour de France title this year and three of the five monument races.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Slovenian’s reach is global, and his fame seems to have now been confirmed by Continental releasing a limited Pogi collectable figurine. This could be one to keep in its original packaging!<\/p>\n

Each collector’s edition box will include a tyre with custom Poga\u010dar labels on the sidewalls and an exclusive ‘Pogi’ collectable, which the brand’s press release states is ‘not a toy’.<\/p>\n

The release also carries a more serious message: Continental says the tyres help champion the brand’s ‘Share the road’ campaign.<\/p>\n

To that end, the brand says it has created a ‘Pogi’ character with Poga\u010dar. ‘Pogi’ will be featured in a series of animated stories to show that ‘the roads belong to everyone’. You can watch one of the clips below.<\/p>\n

Regarding the tyres themselves, this isn’t a new model, but a modified version of a stock 30mm GP5000 S TR tyre.<\/p>\n

Continental says the tyres have custom ‘Poga\u010dar’ labelling on the sidewalls, and hundreds of micro Tadej Poga\u010dar logos integrated into the hot patch model name lettering.<\/p>\n

In June 2025, Continental also released the Archetype,<\/a> a 30mm tyre it said was developed for UAE Team Emirates-XRG. Whilst that tyre has seen occasional WorldTour use, Poga\u010dar and his teammates seem to mostly race on the GP 5000 TT TR model these days.<\/p>\n

The spec and technology of the tyres themselves are the same as a regular S TR tyre, and each one will come with a ‘Pogi’ collectable.<\/p>\n

Each box contains one tyre and a collectable, so things may get a little pricey if you do want a pair.<\/p>\n

The ‘Poga\u010dar collectors edition’ will cost RRP: \u20ac109,95 \/ \u00a394.99 \/ USD 137.95.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Continental has launched a collector’s edition GP5000 S TR tyre today in collaboration with Tadej Poga\u010dar.
