great review but the sound effects are a bit cheeze lol XD
I loved this video, you have amazing dynamics. Literally glued to the tarmac lol
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thankyou for your great review.
I've just got armadillo elite 28 mm for city of México, where the roads are terrible and they are amazing.
Thanks! Check out my new upcoming RUclips channel dedicated only to cycling in Southern California: ruclips.net/channel/UCVxlY3fBto21-_sZ5hZNNcw
You made good decision , they also lasy longer than gatorskins. How they are holding?
I run the Armadillo all season in 32s. And I have over 5,000 miles on them with zero flats. I will never change them.
thank you sir
Great reviews! And I love the sound effects 😂😂
Glad you like them!
You have covered it !!.🤞
Appreciate this. Armadillos are the ones if you dont like flats. I;m a puncture magnet, had a pair on my MTB, no flats in 5 years when they were fnished! Just put them on my gravel bike, beautiful grip.
BTW, I have another channel dedicated to cycling called "Cycling in Southern California" if you're interested.
Good review buddy!
Thanks!
Thanks for this heads up on these 2 tires. It's too late for me. Shortly after buying my 2015 Specialized Allez, I purchased 2 pairs of Armadillo Elite tires (700 x 25) - they're a little lighter than the All Condition Armadillos at 315g (vs. 395g). I'm using these for touring.
Good choice!
How are these for speed and cornering? I've heard mixed opinions
Thanks for the video, what about thickslicks? how do they compare to the gatorskins?
This is a comparison between gatorskins and armadillos. It doesn't compare WTB brands. I'd have to make another video regarding that.
Good review. Woiuld you have a comparison point between the Gatorskins folding and the Continental Grand Prix 4-season? The Grand Prix is about 10g lighter, but I'm guessing the Gatorskins have better puncture protection (Poly-X breaker vs Double Vectran), and both have the same Duraskin sidewall protection. The main difference I'm interested in is if the 320tpi construction on the Grand Prix offers a noticeably better ride than the 180tpi construction on the Gatorskins?
Another option I'm considering would be the Bontrager AW3 Hard-Case Lite.
Thanks.
Grand Prix are a better ride, but I'd rather not have as many flats. BTW, I have a new channel called Cycling in Southern California that is all about cycling only. Here's the info: ruclips.net/channel/UCVxlY3fBto21-_sZ5hZNNcw
Does the tire leak easily or is it strong for rocky off-road roads but light?
They don't leak.
wahhh, which mic you use (voice damn good)? Thank you for your review, i've planned for buy 2 gatorskin..i wanna long-ride for 600KM, about 2 or 3 day's. i think this is what i need to prevent flat.

Great review thank you. I am having flats every other week. How do you compare "gatorskin" to "gator hardshell"?
Here's the ones I get: amzn.to/2Ydd0VY There's the super hardshell ones and those are great too, but a lot heavier. I'd try the hardshells first and they'll last over 5000 miles, then try the other ones, try those 5000 miles and see what you like best.
I am new to road bikes but I have a few miles done . I have done a 100 mile ride my trek came with the original bontrager tyres they were in ok condition but I wore out the rear and I got a blow out what ever it was ripped the tyre a little so I bought gator skin hardshells they are 25mm I was running 100psi but after some reading the comments on RUclips I decided to try 80psi front and 90psi in the rear . My review at those pressures I find the bike rides great it's more comfortable and I don't notice any loss of power . A lot of the rides I do the roads are not very well surfaced so I have learned to back off a bit no point it wrecking my bike the wheels will take a beating . That's why I went with hard shell to avoid pinch flats or side wall punture . From riding too much with no other exercises I locked up my back so now I'm back walking a lot and also doing yoga for lower back as well as core strength exercises and dumbbell workouts .I love cycling most of all but to be able to keep on enjoying it I have to be for and strong enough . This does not get mentioned enough .
The Four Seasons roll a lot nicer. Sort of a in-between from the Conti race tires and the Gatorskins.
The Four Seasons are a great tire. FYI: I'm starting a new channel tonight called "Cycling in Southern California" if you're interested.
How come there's 2 holes/punctures (Only half way in) on when I got my Gatorskins? I got a 2pcs and they both have the holes.... Please help
those 2 holes let you know if your tire should be changed. if tire thread is in the same level as the holes, then its time to change
Thanks for the video. I'm having to throw out a relatively new Continental Ultra tire because of embedded glass or such. Your video was educational. Tx.
Why not just pull out the glass with a tweezer?
as someone that rides to and from work armadillo is the way to go
They are great tires. Bulletproof!
I got Gatorskins had em on bike for 3 years, Kenda Tyres which were always getting punctures, so far no punctures, as for performance I can't tell any difference but the roads are a rough round my way so thin Racing Tyres are not really the most intelligent choice for such conditions. I reckon these tyres are more cost effective on the long run.
I also used kenda tires and after 8 months of using there is a cut inside the tire. i switched to gator skin and i'm watching some reviews and insights on the performance of gatorskin.
I've gotten two flats in less than 500 miles with the Continental Grand Prix Four Seasons. Are the Gatorskins much improved in flat resistance over the Four Seasons?
Oh yeah. Yes. But there's some bad luck that you might have had too.
I've never understood why people say I've gotten 2 flats in 500 miles. Flats are largely ABOUT LUCK. I rode the same route to and from work for 11 years. I went over 3 years without a flat. In one year I had 6 flats. Thats just the way it goes. That said the Armadillos are awesome tyres. They make your legs stronger. And soon you won't notice any differential. I have ridden over 5,000 miles on mine without a single flat.
I ran over a miller high life bottle with my old school red armadillos, I heard the shattering and kept on rolling.
This video was uploaded last year you might not even notice this comment but if you happen to read this then you have done a brilliant job explaning the difference. I am very new to the riding a road bike scene and with extremly low income I am feeling scared taking my new (used) bike to the road with mediocre tyres to ride to work because I am developing this puncture phobia and do not want to get stucked on the side of the road with a baby trailor attached while on my way to the childcare. People are suggesting Schwalbe Marathon plus and obviously Gatorskin tyres but you have mentioned Armadillos are good but a bit heavy. I am not a fast rider like you I am 96 Kilos and so i do not mind going slow speed. I am happy to invest in good tyres which can last long on the road (bike lanes) and buy an extra pair to keep in stock. What would be your suggestion?
Buy the tires.
@@AdamJStoryDC Armadillo?
@@Zainphotography yes
@@AdamJStoryDC thanks. bought two gator hardshells and schwalbe marathon plus as a spare.
I was searching if someone treat an crocodile skin and put it between tube and tire 😄
All conditions are heavy af
Would you say these are faster than the Schwalbe marathon plus ? . If I’m worried about weight I do a poo before I leave
Take a poo, get cotton tires and do intervals to go fast. None of these tires will make you fast.
Gatorskin and a Latex tube will negate the weight of the Gatorskin vs a GP5000 and a regular tube.
Can you use these on gravel?
Kind of. They're tough as nails but this is what I'm using now: ruclips.net/video/vHeKzPeLgls/видео.html
I bought the Armadillos and got a flat within a week.
That sucks.
I just bought Armadillos for my fixed gear bike. I feel like it wasn’t a good idea and now I can’t return them. Should have stuck with road tires. 😕
Dddddouchebag. Sorry, I stutter.
Awful tire in the wet.
True...except the "not getting a flat" is kinda cool.
@@AdamJStoryDC conti4 seasons knocks it dead. I switched to these after my gator skins slipped out in the wet, braking my hip and leg in the process. But I agree, I had one flat in 4 years on gators. I found a a Hugh piece of glass out which was the cause. It had in bedded in there for some time.
noted- I don’t want to wash out blazing through corners.. I may consider 4seasons for my upgrade
@@Ascendingroad I am on a set of 4 seasons at the moment. I paid a little more, worth every extra penny. My new go to tyer for every bike
Drifting’s fun. Had mine on for 2 years with no flats.
AWESOME video 👍
