Product details
Ride wherever you want with the Gatorskin. It is the undisputed number one among fixie riders, messengers, and urban bikers worldwide - now also available in the German-speaking market. The Gatorskin is the right tire when it comes to serious road performance. With the Gatorskin, you have the upper hand, as the PolyX Breaker protects under the tread. DuraSkin makes the sidewall impermeable. The Gatorskin is the perfect choice for tough performance in urban terrain.
PolyX Breaker - Cut and puncture resistant. With the PolyX Breaker, Continental brings its automotive expertise into the bicycle tire segment. Polyester has been successfully used in car tires for years and has proven itself many times over. The extremely durable polyester fiber is tightly woven in a cross pattern. This achieves a very high fabric density, making the breaker not only resistant to foreign objects but particularly resistant to punctures. The rolling resistance is also not negatively affected by the PolyX Breaker.
DuraSkin - Can take a beating. Tires with DuraSkin sidewall protection must be able to withstand a lot. They are used under the harshest conditions. On messenger bikes, the tires slide along curbs, on touring bikes they cross continents without wearing through, and in racing, they must endure toughness tests like Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric reliably protects the side of the tire and prepares it for the toughest challenges. These tires stand out from the crowd thanks to their brown sidewalls.
