Continental Gator Hardshell Folding Bike Tire - Puncture Protection for Road/Commuter (23c, 25c, 28c, 32c)

After extensive market research, feedback from commuters all over the world showed us that a new type of tyre was in demand. Our Gatorskin race bike tyre had filled a gap for hardcore commuters, but they wanted more: more casing, more breaker, and more protection.

Taking the Gatorskin as our base, we've added a third polyamide layer in the sidewall to make a unique 3-ply casing for the Gator Hardshell. We've 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 have a tougher commuter tyre that is also fast and available in 700 x 23 up to 32 sizes.

The KnoGator Hardshell is known around the world for its legendary puncture protection and durability. The reptilian design sets the tone for eating up those miles! Superior puncture protection comes via Continental's Poly-X Breaker, and the extremely long service life is achieved through a wear-optimized tread compound.

The Gator Hardshell is the market leader amongst cyclists, renowned for its exceptional puncture protection and longevity. Its unique 3-ply casing and wider breaker belt provide unparalleled resistance to flats, while the Duraskin anti-tear mesh ensures the tyre remains in top condition even after extensive use.

Whether you're a hardcore commuter or a recreational cyclist, the Gator Hardshell is the ultimate choice for those who demand the very best in tyre performance and reliability. With its aggressive tread pattern and superior puncture protection, this tyre is built to tackle the toughest urban environments and keep you rolling mile after mile.
