For riders who want to focus on their ride. A long-selling model with high durability and reliability.
From daily commutes to long rides, what you look for in a tire isn't just light handling. It's also important to reduce the anxiety of punctures and sidewall cuts, allowing you to ride with confidence.
Continental "GATORSKIN" is a puncture-resistant road tire that has been supported by cyclists around the world for many years. It is highly reliable in situations where you want to avoid trouble, such as commuting to work or school in urban areas, as well as touring and brevet riding over long distances.
PolyX Breaker is used inside the tire to reduce the risk of punctures caused by sharp objects. In addition, DuraSkin protection is placed on the sidewalls to improve durability against scuffs and sidewall cuts.
