Continental Gator Hardshell Tyre Foldable BLACKBLACK 700X28C

Continental: MORE is what you get!After extensive market research and feedback from commuters worldwide, one thing became clear—riders wanted more from their tyres. The trusted Gatorskin had set the standard for durability, but the demand grew for something even tougher. Starting with the proven Gatorskin platform, the Gator Hardshell was created with a unique 3-ply polyamide casing, adding a third layer in the sidewall for maximum cut resistance. A wider Poly-X puncture breaker belt now runs beneath the tread and into the shoulders, providing expanded protection where it’s needed most. Combined with the Duraskin anti-tear mesh on the outer casing, it delivers exceptional toughness without sacrificing speed—making it the ultimate commuter tyre for riders who go the distance.Features • Modelled on our famous Gatorskin race bike tyre • More reinforcement for the modern commuter • Including our Duraskin and Poly-X technologies • All wrapped in a Hardshell After extensive market research, feedback from commuters all over the world showed us that a new type of tyre was in demand.
