Continental Gator Hardshell Clincher Tyre
After extensive market research, feedback from commuters all over the world showed us that a new type of tyre was in demand. Continental's Gatorskin race bike tyre had filled a gap for hardcore commuters but they wanted more; MORE casing; MORE breaker; MORE protection.
Taking the Gatorskin as their base, they added a third Polyamide layer in the sidewall to make a unique 3-ply casing for the Gator Hardshell. They also added a wider Poly-X anti puncture breaker belt under the tread which extends down into the shoulder area for wider coverage. Add this to the Duraskin anti-tear mesh on the outside of the casing and you are presented with a tougher commuter which is also fast.
- Modelled on the famous Gatorskin race bike tyre
- More reinforcement for the modern commuter
- Including Duraskin & Poly-X technologies
- All wrapped in a Hardshell
