Velocita vs Sprinter Gatorskin review

In this entry we are going to compare and review Maxxis Velocita vs Continental Sprinter Gatorskin tyres. Both manufactured by different brands, Maxxis and Continental respectively, these tyres have been designed to be used for different purposes. Whilst Maxxis Velocita is better for gravel and hybrid activities, Continental Sprinter Gatorskin is a great choice if your needs are more aligned to Race Tires activities.

Velocita	Sprinter Gatorskin

High-performance slick	The robust sprinter, created for extended rides and training
The Velocita features a knurled center tread and transitions to a file tread along the edges for confidence in the corners. Ideal for riders who want a high-volume, lightweight slick for their gravel or all-road bike.	The roads of Flanders, Roubaix and San Remo are home to this tough tubular.Durable and puncture protected carcass, ready for hundreds of kilometres, even on bad roads.
Features Dual compound 60 TPI or 120 TPI casing options SilkShield or EXO puncture protection Select specs are Tubeless Ready (TR), confirm in table below	Features DuraSkin To roll with the punches Tires with DuraSkin® sidewall protection have to be able to roll with the punches. They are used under the harshest conditions. On messenger bikes, the tires skid along curbs; on touring bikes, they cross continents without wearing out. In racing cycling, they have to endure tough tests such as the Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric protects the tire casing against the worst conditions. These tires stand out thanks to their brown sidewalls. SafetySystem Breaker Puncture protection with a system The SafetySystem Breaker is made up of Kevlarreinforced, high-strength nylon fabric. Puncture and cut-resistant but nevertheless light and flexible, the tire adjusts quickly to the surface below. Without raising the weight or rolling resistance noticeably, it protects the carcass against foreign objects and contributes to a longer lifespan of the tire. Tires with the SafetySystem Breaker also provide good comfort properties.
Usage Hard pack	Usage -
Technologies EXO An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high. SilkShield SilkShield offers protection from bead to bead whereas Silkworm is found under the tread only. SilkShield provides an additional level of protection for sidewalls as well as under the tread. Tubeless Ready Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.
