Continental Gator Hardshell Folding Bike Tire - Puncture Protection Road/Commuter Tire

Through extensive market research, feedback from commuters worldwide revealed a high demand for a new type of tire. While our Gatorskin Race Bike Tire had already met the needs of hardcore commuters, they desired even more: more casing, more breaker, more protection.

Building upon the success of the Gatorskin, we have incorporated a third polyamide layer into the sidewall, creating a unique 3-ply casing for the Gator Hardshell. Additionally, we have introduced a wider Poly-X anti-puncture breaker belt beneath the tread, extending into the shoulder area for increased coverage. Coupled with the Duraskin anti-tear mesh on the exterior of the casing, the Gator Hardshell offers a tougher, faster commuting experience in sizes ranging from 700 x 23 up to 32.

Featuring imported elastane for added durability and puncture protection, the Gator Hardshell is renowned worldwide for its superior performance and longevity. The distinctive reptilian design sets the stage for conquering countless miles, while Continental's Poly X Breaker ensures unmatched puncture resistance. Furthermore, the wear-optimized tread compound guarantees an exceptionally long service life.

As the market leader among cyclists, the Gator Hardshell continues to be celebrated for its exceptional puncture protection and durability. With its innovative design and top-notch performance, this tire is a must-have for commuters seeking a reliable, long-lasting solution for their cycling needs.
