and so whats the difference?
Whats the difference in GP4000(black) and GP4000s other than the big silver block letter?

They are both 3 plies/ 330 tpi + Vectran Breaker and both tyres feature the black chilli
So whats the difference?
Any review on both? Would like to hear users who had used both GP4000(black) and GP4000s, a comparison would be welcome.

According to this test, the 's' version has been a good improvement in rolling resistance:

Continenals clinchers have had a deserved reputation for being hard-ish (unsupple), durable, and a bit slow, but they might've done something right with this one
Four watts is a lot just for a tyre. A Zipp 404 cuts only about 8 to 10 watts over a 28-spoke Deep V.
