A great choice tire for fixed gear, messenger and urban riders, the Continental Gatorskin Folding tire is a top performer on tarmac. When the road conditions are tough, you want to rely on a durable tire. The Gatorskin is constructed with PolyX Breaker, a resistant polyester fibre that is intricately woven crosswise to create a dense protective shield against foreign bodies. This makes the Gatorskin highly resistant to punctures. The sidewalls of the Gatorskin are protected by DuraSkin®, a top quality polyamide fabric that shields the casing against the worst of conditions. All this protection, but this tire still remains fast rolling as ever. Want even more durability? Check out the Continental Gator Hardshell. The same tread pattern as the Gatorskin, but with extra protection and a longer service life. Not tubeless compatible.
