Continental GatorSkin Folding Tyre

Continental Gator Skin Folding Tyre. Weight: 220g (700x23mm). The folding version of the best selling training and racing tyre where puncture protection is a priority.

Continental Gator Skin Folding Tyre - The folding version of the best selling training and racing tyre where puncture protection is a priority. Intended for high mileage winter training for serious cyclists. - The UK's favourite winter/training tyre (formely known as Ultra GatorSkin) - High mileage, durable and fast rolling tyre - DuraSkin polyamide mesh layer fabric on sidewalls protects the casing against cuts, punctures and abrasion - 180 thread per inch casing with Kevlar-reinforced layer directly under the tread, resists punctures and adds to longevity of tyre - Slick tread for exceptional grip in wet and dry conditions - Supple handling and low rolling resistance - Rec. Inflation Pressure: 110 psi (700x23) 95 psi (700x25) - Max. Inflation Pressure: 120 psi (both 700x23 and 700x25) - Weight: 220g (700x23mm)

Continental GatorHardshell Folding Tyre

Continental GatorHardshell Folding Tyre. Weight: 273g. More tread rubber, a wider polyester breaker strip under the tread, and a three-ply polyamide casing to help prevent slashed sidewalls.

Continental GatorHardshell Folding Tyre - For riders who simply demand the most protective, fast rolling tyre around - Building on the supremely successful Ultra GatorSkin, the GatorHardshell gets added extras in every department - Bead to bead DuraSkin protection - Hardshell casing wrapping further into the sidewall - Extra wide Poly-X breaker belt covers the entire tread strip from shoulder to shoulder - Added material in the tread improves mileage and further increases puncture resistance - Slick tread for exceptional grip in wet and dry conditions - Supple handling and low rolling resistance - Weight: 273g (700x23mm) Cycling Plus rated 9/10: CONTINENTAL'S GATORSKIN IS one of our favourite training tyres. It's very quick and it's tough enough for winter riding, audax and fast commuting - so long as you keep it topped up to its recommended pressure and don't leave flints and the like embedded in the tread. But for those wanting more puncture protection and wear life, Continental has introduced a new Hardshell version. There's a bit more tread rubber, a wider polyester breaker strip under the tread, and a three-ply rather then two-ply polyamide casing to help prevent slashed sidewalls. This adds 48g for our folding 700x23 Hardshell (273g) compared to the equivalent Gatorskin, but in spite of that weight gain we were unable to detect any noticeable difference in rolling resistance between the two tyres even using back-to-back roll-down tests. Among the training tyres we've tested, only the Gatorskin itself and Michelin's excellent Krylion Carbon have been quicker, and while it's early days yet, the Hardshell seems more puncture resistant than either.

Continental Grand Prix (PolyX) Folding Tyre. Weight: 237g. Updated rubber compound and different traction pattern with added Poly X Breaker which is highly resistant to puncture.

Continental Grand Prix (PolyX) Folding Tyre The renowned Grand Prix has been updated with a new rubber compound and different traction pattern.

Poly X Breaker is a overlapping polyester fiber yielding a very dense fabric with minimal space between each individual thread making Poly X highly resistant to puncture without impeding the rolling resistance. Black Chili delivers the ultimate combination of tyre characteristics: the smaller particles yield more points of contact with the road surface (offering enhanced grip), are more tightly bound to each other (reducing wear), and the resultant structure is more flexible (lowering rolling resistance). - Max inflation pressure: 120 PSI - Weight: 237g

Its Vectran Breaker protects reliably from the threat of punctures and of course it's "Handmade in Germany"! BlackChili: The fact is that Black Chili will improve our tyres performance in all areas. Conti can even make a tyre to last longer, yet also grip better and roll faster! The figures are astounding; 26% lower rolling resistance, 30% higher grip, and even 5% longer mileage. Black Chili is only made at the factory in Korbach, Germany. No other tyre facility in the world has access to its secrets. Vectran Breaker: Made from melted Vectra Liquid Crystal Polymer, Vectran is the only LCP fibre in the world, made using a spinning process Vectran is lightweight, extremely durable, resistant to water, is five times stronger than steel. Our tyres which include one or sometimes two layers of Vectran under the tread are some of the toughest and lightweight bicycle tyres available With a layer (breaker) of Vectran under the tread, the tyre is protected from punctures more efficiently than with a Nylon double breaker. This is because a single Vectran layer is lighter, more flexible and stronger than the two nylon layers. - Weight: 180g - Rec inflation pressure (psi): 110 - Max inflation pressue (psi): 120

It matches every high-end racebike perfectly and can do more than just look good the GP4000 S really performs. With the new Black Chili Compound rolling resistance is reduced by 26%, grip is increased by 30% and mileage is increased by 5%. The new compound: The carbon filler particles within the rubber compound are reduced to 1/10th of the size of standard carbon particles. This creates a closer knit with the particles having more points of contact with each other, thus forming a tighter bond, (increasing mileage performance) and also with the road (increasing grip). Also the way in which the particles interact with each other has a dramatic effect on reducing rolling resistance. Black Chili is used by several ProTour teams in 2007. Vectran anti puncture protection: The all new Vectran breaker belt, developed and patented by Continental, surpasses even the famous puncture resistance of the former leader in this category, the folding GP3000.
