Hardshell ProTection

Continental’s puncture-resistant flagship among its racing tyres: a wider PolyX Breaker under the tread centre and shoulders, a three-ply carcass (each layer 60 TPI) that covers the whole tyre, and outer sidewalls reinforced with DuraSkin fabric. Continental calls it a real bastion against urban debris.

DuraSkin (Black Edition)

A high-quality polyamide fabric that protects the tyre’s sidewall against cuts, kerbs and rough roads. On the Black Edition Continental makes the DuraSkin fabric in a restrained black instead of the usual brown mesh.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Gator Hardshell Black Edition?

The same Hardshell ProTection tyre — a wider PolyX Breaker under centre and shoulders, a three-ply 180 TPI carcass and DuraSkin-reinforced sidewalls — with the DuraSkin fabric in restrained black instead of the usual brown mesh (Continental). It comes with a foldable bead; the catalogue lists the same claimed weights as the foldable Gator Hardshell (270 g in 700x23).

Gatorskin or Gator Hardshell?

Both are Continental’s tough road tyres with 180 TPI casings and DuraSkin sidewall protection. The Gatorskin uses the PolyX Breaker. The Gator Hardshell’s Hardshell ProTection adds a wider PolyX Breaker under the tread centre and the shoulders, on a three-ply carcass (each layer 60 TPI) that covers the whole tyre; Continental calls Hardshell its puncture-resistant flagship among racing tyres. It weighs a little more: 345 g against 320 g in 700x25 wire bead (Continental). Daily commuting on glass-strewn roads: Hardshell; tough training with a lighter feel: Gatorskin.
