## Description

After Extensive Market Research, Feedback From Commuters All Over The World Showed Us That A New Type Of Tyre Was In Demand. Our Gatorskin Race Bike Tyre Had Filled A Gap For Hardcore Commuters But They Wanted More; More Casing; More Breaker; More Protection... Taking The Gatorskin As Our Base, We'Ve Added A Third Polyamide Layer In The Sidewall To Make A Unique 3-Ply Casing For The Gator Hardshell. We'Ve Also Added A Wider Poly-X Anti Puncture Breaker Belt Under The Tread Which Extends Down Into The Shoulder Area For Wider Coverage. Add This To The Duraskin Anti-Tear Mesh On The Outside Of The Casing And You Are Presented With A Tougher Commuter Which Is Also Fast And Is Available In 700 X 23 Up To 32

## Features

- Elastane
- Imported
- Built for High Mileage: Continental designed the Gator Hardshell for extremely long service life on tours and daily commutes, made for rough surfaces and rugged pavement.
- PolyX Breaker: A wider PolyX Breaker under the tread center and shoulders uses dense, overlapping polyester fibers to resist punctures from glass and urban debris.
- Three-Ply Hardshell Casing: Three casing layers cover the entire tire, so Hardshell pairs strong puncture resistance with long tread life on daily rides.
- DuraSkin Sidewalls: High-quality polyamide fabric reinforces the outer sidewalls against cuts and scuffs from curbs and rough roads, seen as the characteristic brown mesh.
- Size Details: 700x23 (ETRTO 23-622) folding bead clincher for use with an inner tube; 63-123 PSI per Continental. Made in Germany.
