Continental Gatorskin Folding Clincher Tyre

Continental Gatorskin Folding Clincher Tyre Durability; puncture resistance and smooth-rolling speed; the Continental Gatorskin Folding Clincher Tyre is the UK’s favourite training tyre for a reason. Part of this tyre’s durability is the DuraSkin technology within the sidewall. The DuraSkin polyamide mesh layer fabric on sidewalls protects the casing against cuts; punctures and abrasion. In addition to the DuraSkin material is the PolyX Breaker; under the tyre’s durable butyl rubber thread. The extremely resistant polyester fibre is woven in a tight crosswire. This gives it a very high fabric density which not only makes the Breaker more resistant to foreign objects but is also resistant to punctures. Rolling resistance is not effected either; as the tyre maintains a fast and low level of friction with a high level of traction. Available in a variety of widths; this tyre can accommodate anything from fast and dry riding to gravel riding where a wider tyre is desirable.
