When serves
Convincing puncture protection and durability are the strengths of the Hardshell ProTection. Comparatively wider than the PolyX Breaker®, it protects both the bottom of the tread and the sidewall. Together with the three-layer carcass with 60 TPI per inch, this makes the tire a real bulwark against external influences. Tires with Hardshell ProTection offer indestructible protection - “handmade in Germany”.
Dura Skin
Able to withstand impacts
Tires with DuraSkin® sidewall protection must be able to withstand stress. They are used in the most adverse conditions. On messenger bikes the tires slide on pavements, on touring bikes they cross continents without wearing out, in racing they have to pass endurance tests such as Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric reliably protects the tire sidewall and prepares it for the toughest conditions. These tires stand out from the crowd thanks to their brown sidewall.
