Continental Gatorskin Folding Tire - Black Edition

Continental's Gatorskin Road Bike Tyre, the Black Edition Tire, is designed to go the distance in all conditions, making it the go-to choice for cyclists who require a durable and reliable tyre with excellent puncture protection. Crafted with the brand's expertise in the car tyre segment, the PolyX Breaker(R) technology brings a remarkable level of puncture-defence to the bicycle tyre. The extremely resistant polyester fibre is tightly woven crosswise, resulting in a high fabric density that not only enhances resistance to foreign objects but also provides exceptional puncture protection, all without negatively affecting the rolling resistance.

Durability is further bolstered by the DuraSkin(R) sidewall protection, a feature that allows the tyres to withstand the harshest conditions. Whether navigating the skid-inducing curbs of messenger bikes, traversing continents on touring bikes, or enduring the gruelling tests of racing cycling, such as the Paris-Roubaix, the high-quality polyamide fabric shields the tyre casing against the most challenging environments. Handcrafted in Cronbach, these tyres are built to roll with the punches.

Showcasing a striking all-black aesthetic, the Black Edition Tire delivers both style and substance. The folding tyre design offers an incredibly lightweight solution, making it the global number one choice for fixed, messenger, and urban cyclists. Riders can confidently explore their desired terrain, knowing that the Gatorskin Road Bike Tyre is ready to take on the challenge.

The set of 2 folding tyres, measuring 700x23 (ETRTO 23-622), weighs a mere 230g and can withstand pressures up to 120 PSI, with a thread per inch (TPI) count of 3/180. This combination of features ensures a smooth and reliable ride, empowering cyclists to push the boundaries of their adventures.

In summary, the Continental Gatorskin Road Bike Tyre, in its Black Edition, is a testament to the brand's commitment to providing cyclists with a durable, puncture-resistant, and high-performing tyre that can conquer any terrain. With its PolyX Breaker(R) technology, DuraSkin(R) sidewall protection, and folding tyre design, this tyre delivers an unparalleled riding experience for fixed, messenger, and urban cyclists alike.
