Needed some tires to withstand the punishments of the urban landscape. Let's face it. Most metropolitan

This isn’t a deal-breaker for most people, but if you’re looking for new tires for your e-bike, it is an essential detail to pay attention to. Lanes layered in dung and hedge clippings, shards of broken glass and even the odd drawing pin have made negligible impression on the casings. No flats in 5 months and approximately 1800miles. SafetyPlus construction - developed for e-bikes up to 50km/h. Extremely resistant to cuts and piercing What stands out to me is that the weight of the tires comes into play much less than I expected, so much so that you can’t even tell the difference based on this experiment. I had to use tire levers for all despite watching several people on YouTube putting them on with their bare hands.Puncture Force Blunt Needle: The Blunt needle has a flat tip and won't split the casing wires. To puncture the tire, the blunt needle has to cut the casing wires. So long as you're not going too mad, they're surprisingly comfortable off-road too – dirt roads, moderate forest trails and towpaths – great if you want to explore. I was curious to see if and how much the weight of these tires affected their speed. I tested this on a local hill.

The rest of the tires are well protected against flats, so I felt comfortable running them even at lower pressures, which made them slightly more comfortable. The other set of figures you may see is ETRTO sizing like this 28-622. The first number here is tyre width while the second number relates to wheel diameter. Oh and I’ve run bog standard, rather than goo impregnated. Wear is also extremely pedestrian. Admittedly, I’ve not been luging heavy loads but the tread and sidewalls still look extremely fresh.Not being able to ride 1000s of miles with each of them to see which one lasted longer, I did some skidding tests with each of them and observed how much the surface was worn at the end. This is an indicator of how they compare in real life. Weight is an essential aspect for many riders who want their bike to be as light as possible. Since these tires are in the commuter range and have at least some puncture protection, they will not be as light as racing tires, where each gram counts. In my view, a heavy tire is not a huge penalty on a commuter bike, which needs to be functional, comfortable, and durable. The Ride Tour and the Marathon are both difficult tires to mount, in my experience. The rest of them were neither too easy nor too hard. With practice and skill, they get easier. The Continental Ride Tour doesn’t fall behind the rest in performance, and it stands out because of its very appealing price point. Price and value I have the 32mm version of each of these tires except the Schwalbe Marathon GT, where I used the 37 mm version. I believe this is the smallest you can get in the GT. Even when you handle the tires off the bike, you will notice how heavy the Marathon Plus is, but of course, this comes with the great benefit of very high protection.

All of these tires have reflective sidewalls, which make them stand out at night and are very safe to ride at night. Every commuter bike needs to have these, in my opinion. Puncture Force Sharp Needle: Pre-2021, this score was known as 'Puncture Resistance'. On some tires with weakly bonded casing wires, the sharp needle can split the casing wires resulting in a lower score. I rode the same bike with the exact same setup on the same hill three times. I measured the time it took to get both up and down and averaged them out. On the way down I didn’t pedal at all, but I let gravity take care of the speed.Zoals we al eerder melden, is het een fijne buitenband om te monteren. Zeker voor zo’n dikke anti-lek band. Ook heeft hij zich in de praktijk bewezen een lage rolweerstand te hebben, wat ideaal is voor e-bikes. Mede door de lage rolweerstand heeft de buitenband een behoorlijke kilometrage, als je hem goed op spanning houd. We hebben al van meerdere klanten en collega’s gehoord dat zij er al meer dan 10.000+ km mee hebben gereden. Het mooie profiel en kwalitatief fijne compound zorgen voor goede grip in elke bocht en een veilig gevoel in elk seizoen. Pay close attention to this detail if you encounter many thorns or sharp glass on your route to work. A puncture-proof tire can save you a lot of time and headaches. I’ve regularly hustled along 1in7 descents at 35mph plus without any hint of skittishness. Nor spiteful, when carving into the corners at 25-30mph. Loose surfaces require common sense but dropping the pressures to 58 psi, made a big difference when negotiating freshly lain chippings.
