Continental Gatorskin Tire - Black

The Continental Gatorskin is the proven workhorse for high-mileage cyclists who want a tire that just won't quit. It's the number-one choice for messengers, fixed-gear riders, urban commuters, and tourers — anyone who rides hard, rides far, and can't afford to be sidelined by punctures.

Built with Continental's PolyX Breaker puncture protection and DuraSkin sidewall fabric, the Gatorskin handles the worst urban hazards — glass, debris, curb hits — and keeps rolling. It's a tire designed for tough conditions and long miles.

Why riders trust the Gatorskin

• PolyX Breaker: tightly-woven polyester fabric beneath the tread for excellent puncture resistance without sacrificing rolling speed
• DuraSkin sidewall: high-density polyamide protects against curb scrapes and impacts
• Folding bead: easy to mount and lighter than wire-bead alternatives
• Long-wearing tread compound: built for thousands of kilometres before replacement
• The go-to tire for messengers, commuters, tourers, and high-mileage training
