Tire for Cyclists: Continental Gatorskin

The Continental Gatorskin is the ultimate training and racing tire, where puncture protection is a top priority. Utilizing the latest proprietary technology against flats, the Gatorskin range employs PolyX Breaker and DuraSkin sidewall protection.

The Gatorskin tire is designed for the long haul. Backed by the trusted PolyX Breaker puncture protection system and the durable DuraSkin anti-cut fabric, the Gatorskin becomes a true long-distance runner. The DuraSkin sidewall protection allows these tires to withstand the harshest conditions, from messenger bikes skidding along curbs to touring bikes crossing continents without wearing out, and even enduring the tough tests of races like the Paris-Roubaix.

Continental's PolyX Breaker technology brings their car expertise to the bicycle tire segment. The extremely resistant polyester fiber is tightly woven crosswise, creating a high fabric density that not only makes the Breaker more resistant to foreign objects but also highly puncture-resistant, without affecting rolling resistance.

The Gatorskin is available in both wire bead and folding versions, catering to a wide range of tire sizes. Designed for commuting, touring, or heavy training, the Gatorskin is a trusted companion that won't let you down.

With thousands of online reviews across various platforms, the Gatorskin is consistently the highest-rated and best-selling bike tire. Often imitated but never duplicated, this legend has stood the test of time.

More than 100 years of experience in the development and production of bicycle tires has made Continental a unique company within the industry. Inside their technology and development center in Korbach, they are constantly innovating, creating revolutionary technologies such as the unbeatable Black Chili compound and the ultimate Vectran breaker anti-puncture technology, both used at the top end of race sport.

These advanced technologies demand sophisticated processes to ensure the legendary end-product quality, and these innovations, as well as the ProTection and RaceSport technology for MTB tires, can only be manufactured in Continental's factory in Germany – "Handmade in Germany".

The reptilian-inspired design of the Gatorskin sets the tone for eating up those miles, while the superior puncture protection and extremely long service life through the wear-optimized tread compound make it the market leader amongst cyclists known for its legendary puncture protection and durability.
