Continental Gator Hardshell Urban Bicycle Tire with Duraskin (700×23, Wire Beaded)
Continental 0100310 Gator Hardshell 700 x 23 Urban Tire with Duraskin has set the bar for a perfectly-balanced blend of ride quality and long-term durability without breaking the bank…but still the roads of North America demand a model even tougher. The all new Gator Hardshell delivers! Sharing the bead-to-bead protection of Duraskin, the Hardshell casing wraps further into the sidewall and an extra-wide Poly-X breaker covers the entire tread strip from shoulder-to-shoulder. Added material in the tread strip not only improves mileage, but lends yet another degree of puncture resistance. More isn’t always better, but in this case – more is exactly what you get. Specs: Weight – 310 grams; Recommended PSI – 110; Maximum PSI – 120; PU – 10.
Product Features
- PERFECTLY BALANCED- The Gatorskin has set the bar for a perfectly balanced blend of ride quality and long term durability, all without breaking the bank.
- POLYXBREAKER- The polyester fibers overlap during manufacturing, yielding a very dense fabric and minimal space in-between threads, making the PolyX highly resistant to any foreign body without reducing the rolling resistance.
- DURASKIN- Sidewall protection coming from the high quality polyamide fabric encasing the core casing of the tire from scuffs and cuts under the worst conditions.
- HARDSHELL- Hardshell protection is comprised of three main components, a deep casing overlap providing added sidewall protection, and extra wide PolyX breaker protecting the entire tread strip and finally, the casing is sheltered by a bead to bead layer of DuraSkin fabric.
- HANDMADE IN GERMANY-Continental has been hand making their tires since 1871, maintaining the integrity of tradition, while evolving with the most advanced technology.

THE Go-To tire for far-from-home rides. Despite owning several sets of wheels and tires, these Conti Gator Hardshell tires are my go-to tires for far-from-home ultra-distance cycling.I feel more confident knowing I have the Hardshells under me when traversing unfamiliar roads and territory. As a very experienced cyclist, I’ve had the chance to ride on just about all the tire brands and models of tire available in the U.S. I settled upon the Continental brand after noticing them on the bikes of many of my cycling teammates. I…
Simply awesome – deserves the hype! It only took one ride for me to justify the cost on these! After putting them on I went out for 65 miles the following day with a friend and no problem whatsoever. The tires were great and even a little quieter than the ones I had on my bike before. The real win came the following week however… As I was racking my bike to go for the second ride since changing the tires I noticed a slight glimmer when I spun the back wheel. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be one prong of a heavy duty…
