Product Features
- CARBON BLACK MIXTURE- The Gatorskin, manufactured with a durable carbon black mixture, is as comfortable on the way to work as it is training for road races.
- 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.
- WEAR OPTIMIZED TREAD- Get the most out of your tire with the Gatorskin’s wear optimized tread compound, adding a long service life.
- HANDMADE IN GERMANY-Continental has been hand making their tires since 1871, maintaining the integrity of tradition, while evolving with the most advanced technology.

Continental said sorry we have a 1 year warranty but we don’t cover road hazards. This wasn’t anything I hit if it was I…
Superior Puncture Protection Just Feels Good I’ve been waiting to buy these for about a year now. Justifying the 80$ purchase is what took me so long to make the leap. But I had bought a less expensive set of Hutchinson tires that had gotten good reviews from some of the bike magazines i read. And with that purchase I had my first flat in over a year. I was running Specialized black belted tires that came with my Allez before that. They happen to cost 55$ a tire. Which is why I wanted a cheaper option. I ride 5000+ miles a year. That’s…
