Cheapest Online Continental Gator Hardshell Urban Bicycle Tire with Duraskin (27x1 1/4, Wire Beaded)

Continental Gator Hardshell Urban Bicycle Tire with Duraskin (27x1 1/4, Wire Beaded)

Product Description


Continental 0100315 Gator Hardshell 27 x 1-1/4 Urban Tire with Duraskin has set the bar for a perfectly-balanced blend of ride quality and long-term durability without breaking the bank…but still the roads of North America demand a model even tougher. The all new Gator Hardshell delivers! Sharing the bead-to-bead protection of Duraskin, the Hardshell casing wraps further into the sidewall and an extra-wide Poly-X breaker covers the entire tread strip from shoulder-to-shoulder. Added material in the tread strip not only improves mileage, but lends yet another degree of puncture resistance. More isn't always better, but in this case - more is exactly what you get. Specs: Weight - 430 grams; Recommended PSI - 85; Maximum PSI - 102; PU - 10.

5Impenetrable
By Jay Colingham
Hands down the best tire for horrible road conditions. It is lighter and less expensive than a Specialized Armadillo and has ok performance. I have put down a few hundred miles (250) so far on this tire without any flats or accidents in conditions I would get a flat every five miles using Continental Ultra Sports. 5 stars!

After a few months of riding in New Orleans on Continental Ultra Sports I was desperate for a tire that wouldn't pop daily. Being an aggressive rider from the west coast, the road conditions (maybe better described as trail conditions?) would often leave me pulling off my tire, and fixing a flat at one point per long ride and usually 3-4 times per week. Many bike shops in NOLA sell the Ultra Sport and champion it for it's good ride quality and general durability but I found that it just couldn't handle rides off the levee, City/Audubon Park, or St Charles (maybe most people ride at these locations exclusively). I was talking to some friends about Armadillo's from specialized and my girlfriends father rides Gator Skins on his training bike. No shop in town had 27" tires so I couldn't patronize local business without waiting a few weeks to a month. I had this tire in 2 days after ordering (note that they are very stiff and take some pressure to mount). No more flats, no more, stopping, no more fixing tubes and losing hours of my life a week. I kept my front tire as a Ultra Sport for agility and weight, a great pair.

5Worth it!
By Jason
I just completed my first real ride on these tires, for a total of ~30 miles. These are the first tires I have ever bought - my bike is an old Raleigh ten speed that had Continental Ultras when I purchased it in July 2012. As one review for those tires stated, they have the puncture resistance of wet kleenex.

Whatever the case may be, after thirty miles the little strip of rubber on the tread that is formed when the tires are molded has not even begun to show wear.

Also, I ran over a stray piece of gravel, which normally would have caused a puncture. Instead, the gravel shot out from under the tire and broke a window pane in a condemned building I was passing (there are many of those where I live). I would argue on this evidence that these are less tires and more Mobile Ambient Death Systems (MADS). I imagine one day I am going to put a child's eye out or something. That's OK though, because I will be able to peddle quickly away on my fully-inflated tires!

Joking about casual misanthropy aside, these tires are amazing, based on my limited experience at least. I cannot compare them to the non-HardShell Gator Skins, but given the extremely awful road conditions where I live, the $5 difference per tire is probably worth it (it's the cost of one inner tube, or thereabouts).

5Great Tires
By Derek
I have had these on a very old bike for the last 2 months. So far so good, no issues at all. Well worth the money.
