Reliable, long wear

Used these tires for years, have had good luck with them, long wearing, and a decent tire for hard, competitive riding. Can't beat the price when on sale.

Thank you for your feedback.

Very reliable

I have run these tires for many years, and have no complaints. Riding in the NW United States all year around, an no problem with flats! I keep them inflated solid before every ride, and I run them until no life is left. I have run the 25's and 32's.

Thank you for your feedback.

Fantastic ties

I love these tires. They are tough as nails and give me the traction I need in dry and wet conditions. I would recommend them to anybody who wants a tire with great traction and great puncture resistance

Thank you for your feedback.

Very Nice Tires!

It has gotten increasingly difficult to purchase the necessities for bicycling on the fly in the moment.

That's where bikeworks came in. A few simple clicks later, I was able to collect my purchases in a safe manner. Not only were these tires in a deep discount, they were also ready for me in short time.

Thank you bikeworks. I'll be seeing you again soon!

Thank you for your feedback.

My forever tire!

I have been using these tires since 2004 and I have been very pleased with their durability and puncture resistance. I always carry a spare tube, patches and a pump. I typically get 5000 + miles on the rear tire and much more on the front and only rarely need to fix a flat. By rarely , I mean maybe every couple of years.

Thank you for your feedback.

Awesome tires

I love these tires this is my 3rd pair of gatorskins. The black sidewalls look great. I ride in a city. I've pulled glass and metal out of these tires without getting a puncture. I highly recommend this product.

Thank you for your feedback.

Bulletproof Tires

...but with the durability comes weight. Most times riding in the cascade foothills Ill take that trade every day, riding over glass and general roadside debris. There are days when Id like a lighter tire for climbing, but not often. Black edition looks pretty sweet.

Thank you for your feedback.

Super tough Gatorskins ALL BLACK!

Use these on my commuter (road set-up). Love 'em. Ride everyday, no flats.

Not the lightest tire, they are bombproof.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good all around tire

Been riding these for years, moved to 28mm size for more comfortable feel. A bit heavy but good puncture resistance and sturdy, lasting tread, a very good tire.

Thank you for your feedback.

My go to tire

Sure it's a bit heavier than the 5000, but the added weight beats a puncture tire change

Gatorskin road tires

Good reliable training tire, handles winter roads well. Little on the heavy side but unless you are a pro these are more than adequate even for harder, faster rides.

Thank you for your feedback.

Very good quality, and size and weight vs price. Hard to punch it if you use the correct pressure.

Nothing better

These are the best all-around tires money can buy, only tires I have purchased for the last, who knows how many years. How could Continental make these tires any better? BAM! black sidewalls!

Great puncture protection with the stealth black look!

This is my go to spring and fall tire. When there's usually a lot of debris on the roads these tires are great. They're not too heavy and I could ride them all season.

Thank you for your feedback.

Durable tire with low rolling resistance

The tire is on my carbon frame road bike used on pavement (mostly) in southern New England. Good handling on dry surfaces, I generally avoid wet conditions if possible.
