## Description

desertcart.com : Continental Gatorskin DuraSkin Bicycle Tire (27x 1 1/4, Wire Beaded, Black) : Bike Tires : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Strong and duarable - To be quite honest they worked better than i expected i ride my bike 3 times a week to work and man has it saved me from sharp debris in the ground and sidewalks but main it protects me from all this broken glass all around Los Angeles on top of that i felt that they have improved my riding i find the smoother and i find it rolls every smooth and i like how the tires themselves look not to much design just a straight brand letting you know what your every well protected the flats and puncture have stopped
Review: Really Nice Ride and Puncture Resistant - These are great tires. Seems to be of high quality design and construction by a respected manufacturer that knows tires as I also really like Continental car tires too for their performance and long wear at an affordable price. I brought a really nice high performance used bike but got a flat on the really light weight thin tires that were on it and had to walk the 3 miles back to my car. So I wanted to get some highly puncture resistant tires to replace them. I don't mind a little more weight and maybe a little less performance to avoid getting another flat again. These tires mounted well and ride really well as I haven't noticed any bad ride quality or lost in performance. I also went with the wired beaded tire instead of the folding tire as I thought it maybe a little stronger not being all folded up and therefore maybe a little more puncture resistant.

## Features

- CARBON BLACK MIXTURE- The Gatorskin, manufactured with a durable carbon black mixture, is as comfortable on the way to work as it is training for road races.
- POLYXBREAKER- The polyester fibers overlap during manufacturing, yielding a very dense fabric and minimal space in-between threads, making the PolyX highly resistant to any foreign body without reducing the rolling resistance.
- DURASKIN- Sidewall protection coming from the high quality polyamide fabric encasing the core casing of the tire from scuffs and cuts under the worst conditions.
- WEAR OPTIMIZED TREAD- Get the most out of your tire with the Gatorskin’s wear optimized tread compound, adding a long service life.
- HANDMADE IN GERMANY-Continental has been hand making their tires since 1871, maintaining the integrity of tradition, while evolving with the most advanced technology.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really Nice Ride and Puncture Resistant

These are great tires. Seems to be of high quality design and construction by a respected manufacturer that knows tires as I also really like Continental car tires too for their performance and long wear at an affordable price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT Tires, Had to order a 2'nd pair!
*by K***C on June 27, 2025*

Had these for 5 months, no problems (any tire you buy has chances of getting a flat). I ordered another pair today for my other rims. Most of my cycling friends use these tires. Comfort, keep the tire pressure around 75-80 psi to get a more comfortable ride. I had 23's but my 2007 Trek Madone only goes up to a 28.
