FAQs

What is the recommended tyre pressure?

Refer to the sidewall of the tyre for the recommended pressure range. Maintaining the correct pressure is critical for performance and safety.

Can I use the Kojak tyre on gravel roads?

The Kojak is designed for road use and is not recommended for gravel or off-road conditions due to its slick tread.

How do I clean the Kojak tyres?

Use mild soap and water to clean the tyres. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the rubber.

What does RaceGuard protection do?

RaceGuard is a puncture protection belt that adds a layer of defense against cuts and punctures, increasing the tyre's durability.

How long should a Kojak tyre last?

Tyre lifespan depends on usage, road conditions, and riding style. Proper care and maintenance can extend the life of your tyres. Regular inspection is recommended.

Are the reflective labels effective?

Yes, the reflective labels enhance visibility during night rides or in low-light conditions, improving rider safety.

Troubleshooting

Tyre loses air pressure.

Check for punctures by inspecting the tyre and tube. Repair or replace as necessary. Also, ensure the valve is properly seated and tightened.

Tyre feels sluggish.

Check and adjust tyre pressure to the recommended PSI. Ensure the brakes are not rubbing against the tyre.

Tyre is difficult to mount.

Ensure the tyre size matches the rim size. Use tyre levers carefully to avoid damaging the tyre or rim.
