Only put a few hundred miles on the tires so far but I have been very happy with them. They provide a much better feel and grip than my previous tires.
Been buying Gatorskins for a while but the black edition looks great and give you lots of flat free miles.
The tires mounted without issue, I did a bare-handed install. So far so good, I've only put a few hundred miles on these tires in both wet and dry conditions. The tires ride smooth and seem to have good traction, while not picking up road debris. I'm very satisfied with them and I would recommend them
Great looking, great performance and awesome puncture resistance.
Great for local roads and bike trails, ride all season pretty much flat free. Awesome value
I switched from 25s to these 700x28s. Significantly smoother ride from tires I have long used for their durability and puncture resistance.
Both my wife and I have these tires on our road bikes - both of which are Trek cycles. Years ago (maybe ten) we started using Gatorskin tires after multiple flats using another brand of tire - which clearly was not as puncture resistant as the Gatorskins. They usually last use a couple years - I ride about 1,500 miles a year and my wife rides about 1,800 miles a year.
Use these on my commuter (road set-up). Love 'em. Ride everyday, no flats.
Not the lightest tire, they are bombproof.
I rode them 2600 miles this year and only got one flat at the end of the season which is pretty good considering sharing the road with metal recycling trucks.
If just ride these are the perfect tire they are tough and will get you where you want go!! These are my go to tires all year round!!
I have been buying these for years when they come up on the daily special. It's a great price on a great tire.
I switched from 25's to these 700x28's. Significantly smoother ride from tires I have long used for their durability and puncture resistance.
These are amazing tires-virtually puncture proof. These tires make such a difference-no flats, ride well and therefore, make my rides worry free.
This is the first Gatorskin Black Edition I have purchased. I normally get 9,000 miles a year out of my Continental Hardshell's and I believe I will get the same out of the Black Edition.
I always feel safe on continental tires.
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.
I ride an average of 500 miles/month. The tires don't even seem to wear. Never had a flat yet. Since riding with these I have not purchased any other road tires. I have several bikes and use various sizes of 700c and all are excellent. I prefer the folding tires
I've been using Gatorskins for years because they are durable and smooth rolling. The Black Edition rides just like the originals. Hopefully,these will continue the Gator reputation for durability. The only difference so far is the lack of a brown waffling pattern on the sidewalls. Don't miss that one bit. Reduced sale price made these a really good value.
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.
I had Gatorskins as my last tire and got 6000 plus miles I replaced the rear with one of these and it was so tight to get over the rim I went through 5 inner tubes over the last 3 weeks. My son had to pick me up 3 times. Something is wrong with the sizing on these.
