Continental Gatorskin Tyre

The Gatorskin is Continental’s number one choice for messengers and urban cyclists. The Gatorskin folding tyre is the perfect tyre for the city. It gives every everyday cyclist that certain something and reliably gets commuters to work. The puncture-resistant PolyX Breaker sits directly beneath the tread, offering excellent puncture protection. In addition, DuraSkin makes the sidewall resistant to kerbs and other hazards. The tread compound used ensures an exceptionally long service life.

Continental Poly X Breaker

With the PolyX Breaker, Continental brings its car tyre expertise to the bicycle tyre segment. Polyester has been used successfully in car tyres for years and has proven itself time and again. The extremely durable polyester fibre is woven in a tight, cross-hatched pattern. This achieves a very high fabric density, making the breaker not only resistant to foreign objects but also particularly resistant to punctures. Rolling resistance is not adversely affected by the PolyX Breaker.

Continental Dura Skin

Tyres with DuraSkin sidewall protection have to be able to take a real beating. They are used in the most adverse conditions. On messenger bikes, the tyres slide along kerbs; on touring bikes, they traverse continents without tearing; in racing, they must pass endurance tests such as Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric reliably protects the tyre’s sidewall and prepares the tyre for the most extreme conditions. These tyres stand out from the crowd thanks to their brown sidewalls.
