The Continental Gatorskin has been a staple in the cycling scene for nearly a decade. Renowned for its puncture protection and durability it has become a popular tire in the touring and bike messenger scene where reliability trumps all else.
Continental brings over technology from the automotive industry with PolyX Breaker™; a layer of high density woven polyester fiber under the rubber compound that helps deflect impacts and prevent punctures. Paired with their DuraSkin® Kevlar sidewalls the Gatorskin is one of the MOST durable and flat resistant tires on the market.
