Continental GatorSkin Folding Road Tyre

Formerly known as "Ultra GatorSkin", the GatorSkin folding tyre is the UK's favourite training model. With its DuraSkin anti-cut fabric and PolyX Breaker, it's also suitable for everything from commuting, sportives and general all-around

The ultimate long distance runner, this tyre benefits from Continental's durable carbon black mixture, a well regarded puncture protection system and the DuraSkin™-anti-cut fabric. In varying widths of 23mm and 25mm, it's a durable, tough tyre at a really nice price.

Puncture-Proof Winter Tyre with Advanced Technologies

PolyX Breaker Technology: With its PolyX Breaker, Continental bring PKW know-how to the bike tyre arena – Polyester has been used successfully for years in car tyres and been tried and tested many times. The extremely resistant polyester fibre is woven tightly to make a very high fabric density, which not only makes the breaker more resistant to foreign objects but also resistant to punctures. The rolling resistance is not affected either by the PolyX Breaker.

DuraSkin: Tyres with DuraSkin sidewall protection have to roll with the punches. These tyres are used in the harshest conditions. On messenger bikes, epic travel bikes crossing continents without wearing through and in professional cycling, tough tests such as Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric reliably protects the casing of the tyre and protects it from the worst conditions. These tyres stand out with their brown sidewalls and the slick natural rubber tread is designed to perform well in wet/wintery conditions.

About the Continental brand

More than 100 years experience in the development and production of bicycle tyres has made Continental a unique company within the industry. Continental is the only German bicycle tyre manufacturer to produce its tyres in Germany. Knowing this serves as a mighty incentive to our engineers and everyone else involved in the manufacturing process to constantly strive for further innovations. In our technology and development center in Korbach, we are constantly developing new revolutionary technologies such as the unbeatable Black Chili Compound and the ultimate Vectran™ Breaker anti-puncture technology, both used at the top end of race sport. These technologies demand sophisticated processes to ensure our legendary end-product quality, and these innovations as well as the new “ProTection” and ”RaceSport” technology for MTB tyres, can only be manufactured in our factory in Germany – “Handmade in Germany”. In order to offer the best tyre for any application, we rely equally on dialogue with our professional racers, hobby cyclists and everyday bike riders. This results not only in high-end products for top sports applications such as the new Podium TT or the revolutionary downhill tyre “Der Kaiser”, but also tyres for everyday use like the new innovative combination EcoContact/EcoContact Plus as a companion to the latest e-bike trend. As a global player, Continental also maintains high-tech production facilities outside of Germany, where Continental tyres are produced for you with an equal degree of care and dedication. One thing all Continental bicycle tyres have in common is that they are developed in the technology center in Korbach, Germany, where they also undergo strict inspection. Our heart and soul is behind the phrase “Handmade in Germany”, with all of its products and technologies.
