FAQs
What terrain is this tyre best suited for?
This tyre is ideal for gravel and mixed terrain, offering good performance on dirt paths, fire roads, and light trails, as well as handling pavement well.
What does 24 TPI mean?
TPI stands for Threads Per Inch. A 24 TPI casing means there are 24 threads per linear inch in the tyre's carcass. Lower TPI generally indicates a more durable but potentially heavier tyre compared to higher TPI counts.
How effective is the puncture protection?
The tyre features a 2mm layer of puncture protection designed to significantly reduce the likelihood of flats from common sharp objects encountered on trails and roads.
Are these tubeless-ready tyres?
This product description does not specify tubeless compatibility. They are typically used with inner tubes.
What is the recommended tyre pressure?
Refer to the sidewall of the tyre for the specific recommended pressure range (PSI). Always inflate within this range for optimal performance and safety.
How do I clean these tyres?
Clean the tyres with water and a mild soap using a brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
What is the benefit of the reflective sidewall?
The reflective sidewall increases your visibility to vehicle headlights in low-light conditions, thereby enhancing safety when cycling on roads.
Troubleshooting
Tyre won't seat properly on the rim
Ensure both beads are fully relaxed in the center channel of the rim before attempting to inflate. Check for any obstructions or damage to the rim or tyre bead.
Tyre loses pressure quickly
Check for slow leaks around the valve stem or small punctures in the tread. Inspect the tyre carefully for embedded debris. Ensure the rim strip is properly seated and undamaged.
Excessive vibration or wobble during rotation
The tyre may not be seated evenly or could be out of true. Deflate slightly, ensure the bead is evenly seated all around, and re-inflate. If the issue persists, the tyre or rim may be damaged.
Puncture despite puncture protection
While the 2mm protection significantly reduces risks, extremely sharp objects or repeated impacts can still cause punctures. Inspect the tyre and tube thoroughly for the cause.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your wheel rim is clean and free of debris.
- Mount one bead of the tyre onto the rim, starting opposite the valve.
- Work both beads around the rim until the final section is near the valve.
- Using tyre levers if necessary, carefully seat the remaining bead onto the rim. Ensure the bead is evenly seated all around.
- Inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure, checking that the bead is fully seated on both sides of the rim.
Compatibility:
- This tyre is designed for 27.5-inch (also known as 650b) wheels.
- Verify that your bicycle frame and fork have sufficient clearance for a 27.5 x 1.95 inch tyre, particularly in the chainstays and seatstays.
- Ensure your rim's internal width is suitable for a tyre of this width.
Care:
- Regularly check tyre pressure and inflate to the recommended PSI range indicated on the tyre sidewall.
- Inspect the tyre tread and sidewalls for cuts, embedded objects, or excessive wear.
- Clean the tyres with water and a mild soap if they become excessively dirty. Avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the rubber compound.
- Store the bike in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong tyre life.
