Continental Gator Hardshell Tyre – Wire Bead: BLACK/BLACK 700X32C

Continental:

After extensive market research and feedback from commuters around the world, one thing became clear — riders wanted more from their tyres. Our Gatorskin had earned its stripes with hardcore commuters, but the demand was growing for something even tougher.

More casing. More breaker. More protection.

Starting with the proven Gatorskin platform, we created the Gator Hardshell — the next evolution in high-mileage, high-durability road tyres.

We added a third polyamide layer to the sidewall, creating a unique 3-ply casing for superior cut resistance. A wider PolyX Breaker belt now runs beneath the tread and down into the shoulders, offering expanded puncture protection where it’s needed most.

On the outside, our legendary Duraskin mesh reinforces the casing for maximum defence against tears, abrasions, and city chaos.

The result? A seriously tough commuter tyre that doesn’t compromise on speed — available in a wide range of sizes from 700×23 to 700×32, plus 27 x 1¼.

Built for battle, designed to last.
