Continental Ultra GatorSkin HARDSHELL - Wire Bead<br /> <br /> <small>From Contintenal: </small><br /> <br /> After extensive market research, feedback from commuters all over the world showed us that a new type of tyre was in demand. Our Gatorskin race bike tyre had filled a gap for hardcore commuters but they wanted more; MORE casing; MORE breaker; MORE protection...<br /> <br /> Taking the Gatorskin as our base, we've added a third Polyamide layer in the sidewall to make a unique 3-ply casing for the Gator Hardshell.<br /> <br /> We've also added a wider Poly-X anti puncture breaker belt under the tread which extends down into the shoulder area for wider coverage.<br />
