Folding makes them easy to carry home. They go on and stay on. The dimples tell you when it's time for new rubber. Flats are rare to never. They feel great on the road. I've mostly ridden them on my track bike around the city and they last longer than any other tire I've tried. They corner well. Sometimes a bit challenging to take off.
Excellent tire. Well worth the money.
Love Conti tires. The added protection on the sidewalls keeps me flat free.
I use this on my road bike for recreational riding and a few organized rides per year. Have not had a flat in two years even though I have dug bits of glass out of one tire.
Mounted on 2017 Giant CoMax and so far the performance and durability of the Conti Hardshell have not been matched by any other tire.
These are some of the best tires on the market. They roll smooth and quiet. The only negative is that I had a lot of difficulty getting tire on rim.
I commute tofrom work and do 2-3 x 15-20 mile ridesweek
Great tire. The best for all around riding and not having to worry about getting a flat. Roads in Utah are terrible in the spring after the winter months and I've never had issues with Hardshells
Gatorskin Hardshell tires are not the lightest tire....but they perform amazing for everyday riding, training and commuting. Hard Ride....but hugs the pavement ..... Cornering.....fast, tight turns.....no problem. Worth every $$ spent on these tires.
Have been using gator hard shell tires for over 2 years . Very good grip on the roads and excellent flat protection.
Great puncture protection and amazing durability. I usually get about 6K miles per set in the Arizona heat.
One set of tires has run over 2 years commuting every single day all year round on glass ridden and who knows what else Portland bridges and downtown streets without a single flat. Luck, maybe? But I'll attribute it to the tire. Running 25mm.
I have used Gatorskins for years and they are very durable.
I've been riding Continental Gators for many years, and after a couple hundred miles I can say that the my new Gator is everything my old one was and lighter and better looking too.
Love +++! Have used for years and will continue!
These tires are great easy to put on and a joy to ride on
Hands down test best tires I ride and now the only ones....fast last thousands of miles and no flats
I had 6000 flat free miles on one set.
Very reliable and nice ride
This is the only tire I train on. We have a lot of glass and thorns in SoCAL so this is the best way to prevent a flat.
