LIST $64.99 | SALE $24.52

Fortification from flats, get Triple Protection with Hardshell.
High-mileage, carbon-black tread compound
Hardshell sidewall protection, in addition to Hardshell features, provides a durable, high-performance tire suited to athletic urban riding styles
Hardshell protection consists of casing-ply overlap covering more of the sidewall than normal, plus an extra-wide PolyX breaker

Whether you're riding through rubble-littered roads on the way to work or rolling over spiny goat heads on your daily training ride, the Continental Gator Hardshell Tire delivers extra reinforcement from pesky flats and tire blowouts. Hardshell protection wraps the tire with three layers of 60 TPI rubber compound for extra durability and long-lasting use.

Its reinforced DuraSkin polyamide mesh prevents rips and tears along the sidewall. Going one step further, PolyX Breaker protection places overlapping polyester fibers along the entire tread strip for extra durability without increased rolling resistance. The tread pattern itself scatters road debris, such as glass and metal shards, instead of collecting it where it could lead to a puncture. The result is a tire that's about as puncture-resistant as possible, ensuring thousands of miles of wear and daily dependability without worrying about flats. There's no guarantee you'll ride puncture proof but Gatorskin Hardshells are the closest you'll get in a high performance puncture protection tire.
