ContinentalGatorskin Black Edition 700c Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

Great tire for everyday riding conditions. Super mileage, not prone to flats, and not too heavy

I can say with out a Doubt the best all around tires made by Continental. At first I was worried about adding weight and running a slower tire on my bike but that is not a factor on these tires if you want reliability of not getting flats

This product allows for great traction and ability to go over debris on the trail without getting a flat as with other tires. I highly recommend these tires to daily bikers especially during fall months/weather.

Gatorskins are my go to tires. I've tried others in the hope of saving money but keep coming back. Others always disappoint. I've often ridden my gators for months without any flats. You can't go wrong with these

For years I used Conti 4000 tires. The 5000 came out , so I tried it. At 2200 miles the rear tire was gone, thru the wear indicators and down to the casing. I always got 4 to 5000 miles with the 4000.

So I decided to give the Gatorskins a try. I am at 900 miles, good so far and no flats.

I've relied on Gatorskins for years for commuting. I'm happy to see an updated sleeker-looking version as I prefer my bikes to be as minimal as possible and tend to not adhere to trends such as tan sidewalls, etc.

I use these tires on my two road bikes. They get me through the season without having to change them. Durable.

I really like the new look of the black edition gatorskins and they also have good rolling resistant. They are pretty close in comparison to GP5000 on speed as well, and got them for a good price too.

I ride my road bike about 100 miles a week. This is the time of year that a lot of flat tires occur because of stickers on the road. Thankfully I have been able to hold up from getting a flat. Good job Bike Tires Direct.

I replaced some 30mm tires with a set of 28mm for the 6Gap ride. I've been using the Gatorskins for years and love their longevity. I ride 25mm on my carbon bike but wanted a bit more comfort for the aluminum bike I used for the mtn. century. Can't really say anything bad about them. I do like the Black sidewall look of this edition. They carry a conventional rubber sidewall in place of the weaved sidewall the Continentals traditionally use and appear a bit more robust to sidewall cuts.

Great price. A great combination of relatively light weight and durability. I'm going to use these as my winter tires on my rain bike. No flats for 3 months of use on both my bikes. Continentals are great tires!

Been through a lot of tires and these are by far the best I've purchased. I've had them on for over four months now and have put them through the ringer and haven't had one flat yet. Super responsive on leaning turns.

this is a great tire for training, love the new Gatorskins and the price is as always awesome

Great for commuters or riders who travel sometimes by gutted roads. Feels like they are super durable.

I normally ride around 125 miles per week through different parts of San Diego County. I have used Gatorskin tires for at least 15 years, and have found them to be the best for reliability and wear. I always have a couple of spare tires on hand to replace older, worn out or severely damaged tires when necessary.

I would recommend, in a heartbeat, Gatorskin road tires for reliable, dependable road bike tires.

Excellent tires, great deal, The improvement over the tires I replaced was immediate. I ride New York City streets almost daily and the tires hold up really well on rough surfaces. traction is excellent and without undue drag like the tires I replaced. The improvement in handling is huge. I can make hard and fast turns with confidence now.

I'm installing the second set on my triathlon bike.

I used Gatorskins on my tandems for 10 yrs.+ riding 6-9,000 miles a year with never a blowout. Yes I have 2-3flats

per year. This kind of durability gives you the confidence to ride far from home, up and down major hills,

I switched from 25s to these 700x28s. Significantly smoother ride from tires I have long used for their durability and puncture resistance.
