Hardshell ProTection

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

A high-quality polyamide fabric that protects the tyre’s sidewall. Continental designs it for the harshest conditions — kerbs on commuter bikes, rough roads on tour, endurance races such as Paris–Roubaix — and it is recognisable by its characteristic brown mesh sidewall.

Frequently asked questions

Answered from this product’s published information. Questions about orders or anything else go to our team.

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.

Gator Hardshell: foldable or wire bead?

Same Hardshell ProTection and 3/180 TPI carcass; the foldable version is lighter and easier to carry as a spare. Continental’s figures in 700x28: 335 g foldable against 410 g with a wire bead.

Can I run this Continental tyre tubeless?

No. Continental lists it as a tube-type tyre, so use it with an inner tube. If you want tubeless, look for Continental’s TR (Tubeless Ready) models, such as the Grand Prix 5000 S TR or AS TR on the road.
