Continental Sprinter GatorSkin Tubular Black 28 x 22mm

The Continental Sprinter GatorSkin Tubular tire is built for long distance races. With a higher tire volume, the Sprinter GatorSkin rolls along the road better and gives you a safer ride, even when road conditions aren’t ideal

Black Chili

Continental's Black Chili Compound is what makes all the performance and quality possible. With the use of advanced nano-metric carbon sciences Continental has figured out how to increase grip, decrease rolling resistance and/or improve life without one of the other qualities suffering. 10k-20k miles on rubber that grips this hard requires some seriously advanced compounds.

GatorSkin

To help keep this tire rolling along, Continental has equipped it with it’s DuraSkin and SafetySystem technologies, which when combined make up GatorSkin. Continental’s SafetySystem which is a strong nylon fabric reinforced with Kevlar (that’s the stuff body armor is made out of) and offers a superior level of protection is added to DuraSkin sidewall protection  DuraSkin is for tires that will be experiencing the harshest conditions such as messenger bikes, the tires skid along curbs; on touring bikes, they cross continents without wearing out; in racing, they endure tough tests such as the Paris-Roubaix.
