Continental Gator Hardshell Folding Tyre

The Continental Gator Hardshell folding tyre is intended for road cyclists seeking reinforced puncture protection. The three-layer casing has a third polyamide layer in the sidewall, and a Poly-X breaker works beneath the tread and shoulders. The tear-resistant DuraSkin coating on the outer casing and the Hardshell finish complete the construction.

The available sizes are 700x23 and 700x32. When choosing, look at your rim and frame clearance: 23 is the narrowest, 32 the widest, and width affects volume and comfort. Before buying, check that the size is compatible with your bike's brakes and fork.

Founded in Hanover in 1871, Continental is still based in the German city today. For cyclists, it makes tires and inner tubes for road, gravel, mountain biking and urban riding. Its connection with bicycles goes back to its early days: in 1892, it became the first German company to produce pneumatic bicycle tires.
