Continental Gator Hardshell Tyre

The Gator tyre with Hardshell puncture protection is Continental’s number one choice for messengers and urban cyclists. The Gator folding tyre is the ideal tyre for the city. It gives every everyday rider 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, the DuraSkin reinforcement makes the sidewall resistant to kerbs and other hazards. The tread compound used ensures an exceptionally long service life.

Continental Hardshell

Impressive puncture protection and durability are the strengths of the Hardshell ProTection. Comparatively wider than the PolyX Breaker, it protects both beneath the tread and along the sidewall. Together with the three-ply carcass, each layer rated at 60 TPI, the tyre becomes a true bulwark against external influences. Tyres with Hardshell ProTection offer indestructible protection – exclusively handmade in Germany.

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.
