    Description

    The ultimate long distance runner, this tyre benefits from Continental's durable carbon black mixture, a well regarded puncture protection system and the DuraSkin™-anti-cut fabric. In varying widths of 23mm and 25mm, it's a durable, tough tyre at a really nice price.

    Puncture-Proof Winter Tyre with Advanced Technologies

    PolyX Breaker Technology

    PolyX Breaker Technology: With its PolyX Breaker, Continental bring PKW know-how to the bike tyre arena – Polyester has been used successfully for years in car tyres and been tried and tested many times. The extremely resistant polyester fibre is woven tightly to make a very high fabric density, which not only makes the breaker more resistant to foreign objects but also resistant to punctures. The rolling resistance is not affected either by the PolyX Breaker.

    DuraSkin

    DuraSkin: Tyres with DuraSkin sidewall protection have to roll with the punches. These tyres are used in the harshest conditions. On messenger bikes, epic travel bikes crossing continents without wearing through and in professional cycling, tough tests such as Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric reliably protects the casing of the tyre and protects it from the worst conditions. These tyres stand out with their brown sidewalls and the slick natural rubber tread is designed to perform well in wet/wintery conditions.

    Customer Reviews

    Continental GatorSkin Folding Road Tyre is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 1464.
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for commute or weekend ride No puncture for the 6 months of commuting and weekend rides. Pretty happy with not having have to stop during rides. It was little bit stiff to put it on but no drama.

    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Highly recommended, surprising 1st ride therefore! These came highly recommended to me by a few cycling friends as good all year round commuting tyres. It was a surprise therefore that 8 miles in to the 1st ride on them i was fixing a puncture! One of the selling points is their toughness and puncture protection. I had fitted them correctly and inflated them to 100psi, however the piece of glass that went through them and lodged itself in the tyres was razor sharp and very thin. No problems since and given the small tread pattern they do give a good amount of grip in wet weather.

    Q & A

    what is the difference between a folding tyre and a normal tyre?

    Asked by: rolezy
    "normal" tyre has wire around the edge where it hooks into your rims. Cheaper, but heavier and bulkier. Folding has a flexible bead instead of wire - e.g. kevlar or similar. Lighter, and you can fold the tyres up (so less bulky if you have to carry them) but more expensive. Most good tyres only come in folding.

    Gatorskin vs Ultra?

    Hi, I just got two of these delivered however they are not "Ultra Gatorskins", they are just simply "Gatorskin". Can somebody explain the difference between the two? Thanks
    Asked by: Jules267
    Hi, They were 'previously' called Ultra gatorskin, but are now just called gatorskin. See this on the continental page http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/de/en/continental/bicycle/themes/race/racetyres/gatorskin/gatorskin_en.html

    A couple of tyre questions.

    I'm interested in buying these tyres but, not used to the lingo would like to know if these "folding" tyres will be okay on a 2011 Specialized Allez Sport? What exactly is the difference say between this and the Specialized tyres my bike came with?
    Asked by: pntaylor
    The tyres that came with you Allez are basic. They wont be as puncture resistant as these. I ride an Allez and changed tyres to these and am really pleased with the durability of them. I didn't notice any improvement in the ride quality though.

    Change in tyre size?

    I have shimano R500 wheels with 700x25 tyres. Is there any advantages in changing to 700x23 tyres
    Asked by: JohnPL
    23 tyres are obvisiously lighter and faster, but i would personally stick with 25's for more comfort.
    Answered by: smudge45
    Date published: 2013-10-23

    Tyres 700 x 23/25 why would you use 25 mm over a 23mm if it has more resistance ?

    Asked by: Scooby1967
    People tend to use the 25c option as this will be slightly wider offering more stability without compromising the rolling resistance. I hope this helps.

    What is the difference between these and the Continental Gator Hardshell

    Continental doesn't appear to have consistent international nomenclature. Are these the same? If not, how are they different?
    Asked by: JT77
    There isn't much difference between the two tyres visually they llok the same. Handling is pretty much the same and weight wise ditto. I had hardshells on both front and rear until I hit a tech bolt and the tyre blew out big time. Given I ride over dodgy road surfaces my first preference would be the hardshells then the gatorskins. I am now tending towards the folding variety for ease of on/off as the wried versions are very hard to get off especially in winter with cold fingers. If your daily commute or training ride is along road train invested roads and there is stones and metal debris spread from A-hole to breakfast then this is the tyre for you. I tried the Ultremo R1's and had at least 3 punctures on the rear tyre within two weeks and 2 one the front within the same timeframe. Try them both and see for yourself hang the expense.

    What is the right tube?

    I'm a relatively new and enthusiastic cyclist on a flat bar road bike. The bike came standard with 700 x 32 slicks but I wanted to get narrower tyres to go a bit quicker, esp. up hills. If I get 700 x 28 tyres will I need to change my tubes? Would it be worth going even more narrow, say 25s or will that make the ride too uncomfortable?
    Asked by: Trentos
    I ride 23s, and many hundreds of Audax miles have gone by. I really don't miss the supposed comfort of bigger tyres, inflate them really hard and feel the miles roll by.

    which tyre fits?

    i currently have 700x35c tyres on my cyclocross. can i fit 700x32c or even 700x28c?
    Asked by: springOnion
    If your wheels came supplied with 35c tyres, fitting a 28c tyre will not be an issue, but I would suggest not to go any narrower.
