The iconic Gator Skin got tougher. Designed for rough bike lanes, dirty shoulders, and all less than stellar roadways, the Gator Hardshell tires will help you spend more time riding, and less time fixing flats. The experts at Continental have engineered the Gator Hardshell tires to have the same low rolling resistance and great handling of the GatorSkin, only now they are even more hard-wearing and puncture resistant.
- PolyX Breaker™ reinforced centerline uses technology from car tires to improve strength and durability
- 3 layers of 60TPI carcass wraps the tire in 180 threads per inch for incredible toughness
- Smooth centerline rolls easily and carries speed well
- Lightly textured sidewalls add grip in the corners and at lower pressures
- On average the Hardshell are 0.5mm thicker on the centerline and 0.3mm thicker on the sidewalls, than traditional GatorSkin tires
