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...
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.
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.
Add this to the Duraskin anti-tear mesh on the outside of the casing
and you are presented with a tougher commuter which is also fast
- Modelled on our famous Gatorskin race bike tyre
- More reinforcement for the modern commuter
- Including our Duraskin & Poly-X technologies
- All wrapped in a Hardshel
Robust companion for touring.The Gator Hardshell is an impressive tyre with its sturdy construction and durability. Because of its reliability, it is preferred for use on extended touring rides. The product has extremely high mileage and with the extra wide puncture protection liner provides an added advantage. These tyres show no signs of fatigue even after many kilometres.
