What makes the Continental Gatorskin Black Edition so puncture resistant?

The Continental Gatorskin Tire PolyX Breaker Black Edition resists punctures through a PolyX Breaker, a tightly woven crosswise polyester belt under the tread that stops glass, gravel, and the constant hazards of city and tour riding without slowing the tire down. It is the proven choice for tough conditions, whether you are riding hard in the urban field or putting in long miles on tour. The all-black sidewall keeps the look clean and stealthy for road, fixed gear, and commuter builds.

Beyond the breaker, the Gatorskin pairs a high-mileage carbon black tread compound with DuraSkin polyamide sidewall protection to fend off cuts and abrasions where roads are worst. The 3/180 TPI casing keeps the ride supple and fast rolling, and the Black Chili compound balances grip, rolling speed, and long service life. Built for commuters, tourers, fixed gear, and messenger riders who want a tire they can trust to keep the rubber side down.

FAQ

What is the PolyX Breaker?

PolyX Breaker is a layer of extremely resistant polyester fiber woven tightly crosswise under the tread. The high fabric density makes it very resistant to punctures and foreign bodies, and it does this without hurting rolling resistance.

What does the DuraSkin sidewall add?

DuraSkin is a high-quality polyamide fabric that protects the casing and sidewall against cuts and abrasions in the harshest conditions, from curb strikes on messenger bikes to long touring miles. It is why the Gatorskin holds up where other tires wear out.

Is the Black Edition different from the standard Gatorskin besides the sidewall?

No. The Black Edition is a cosmetic designation with an all-black sidewall for a clean look on urban, road, and track builds. Construction and performance are the same as the standard Gatorskin.

Which size should I choose?

The 700x25 is lightest and fastest for road and fixed gear. The 700x28 adds comfort and grip for mixed road and commuting. The 700x32 offers the most cushion and durability for rough roads, loaded touring, and gravel-edged commutes.

Best For

Commuters, tourers, fixed gear, and messenger riders who want the Gatorskin's proven PolyX Breaker and DuraSkin flat protection with the clean black-on-black Black Edition aesthetic for everyday road and city riding.
