The UltraGatorskin is one of the most popular road tyres on the market, largely thanks to its famous reliability. Punture resistance is almost up there with the Specialized Armadillo Elite, thanks to an aramid strip underneath the central section of the tread, and the sidewalls' reinforcing polyamide mesh(Duraskin).The Gatorskin is impressive at keeping out larger attackers like big thorns and shards of glass. Grip is great, most notably for cornering in the wet where these tyres are the stars among all those tested, and durability is excellent too. Our set weighed in at 214g each - considerably lighter than Conti's claimed weight of 230g, which is unusual. You could easily race on these tyres but they really excel for off-season mile-munching.
Tough, durable and reasonably light; especially good for wet conditions.
Gatorskins seem to divide opinions on reliability, but if you keep them at 110-120psi and don't run them down to the casing, they live up to Conti's claim of being 'the ultimate training and racing tyre where puncture protection is priority'. The bead-to-bead Duraskin layer makes the sidewalls slash-resistant and the aramid belt under the tread is tough for a training tyre.It's light and fast too, with a rolling performance not far off that of a race tyre. Wire bead versions are about 50g heavier and £3 cheaper than their folding counterparts.
Fast and robust for audax, winter training or long-distance commuting
Grip is fine and puncture protection is good for such a light tyre...the gatorskin is very light for a 26in slick.
Training-tyre performance on a 26in wheel. One for drop-bar, urban Mtb's.
Thanks to it's light casing construction and outstanding resistance to punctures the Ultra Gator Skin range is a firm C+ for audax duties...Great looking carbon/amber sidewall that stays looking good after several rides in wet weather, and there's little sign of tread wear after 500 miles and no cuts
Toughest performance tyre available
Our test samples have proven entirely impervious to flints, thorns, urban detritus and potholes during 2000 kilometres of all weather riding. And since they still show the moulding flash on the tread, longevity shouldn't be a problem.
Exceptional combination of abilities. This new rubber offers a quantum leap forward. Puncture resistant as well as being a fast road tyre.
