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) Rigid Tyre
Updated rubber compound and different traction pattern with added Poly X Breaker which is highly resistant to puncture.
The renowned Grand Prix has been updated with a new rubber compound and different traction pattern. Known for its extremely long wear, the Grand Prix is a training and racing tyre for all cyclists, from weekend warriors to world champions alike.
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).
