FEATURES:

• The Gatorskin has set the bar for a balanced blend of ride quality and long term durability
• The polyester fibers overlap during manufacturing, yielding a very dense fabric and minimal space in-between threads, making the PolyX highly resistant to any foreign body without reducing the rolling resistance.
• Sidewall protection coming from the high-quality polyamide fabric encasing the core casing of the tire from scuffs and cuts under the worst conditions.
• Hardshell protection is comprised of three main components, a deep casing overlap providing added sidewall protection, an extra-wide PolyX breaker protecting the entire tread strip and finally, the casing is sheltered by a bead to bead layer of DuraSkin fabric.
• Continental has been hand-making their tires since 1871, maintaining the integrity of tradition, while evolving with the most advanced technology.
