Experience full control on slippery, snowy roads and damp surfaces thanks to the grippy lamellar tread pattern of this premium cycling tire. Riders benefit directly from our extensive know-how, leveraged from our position as a leading manufacturer of high-performance winter tires for cars and trucks.

This tire is meticulously designed to provide stability and safety in challenging, cold-weather conditions, making it the ideal choice for year-round commuters and e-bike riders.

Unrivaled Wet and Winter Traction

The advanced design and deep manufacturing heritage ensure confidence when conditions are slick.

• Lamellar Tread: The specialized lamellar tread pattern maximizes contact area, providing full control on slippery, snowy, and wet roads.

• Industry Expertise: Benefits from over a century of experience, including our knowledge in developing robust, high-traction winter tires.

• Durable Design: High-quality structure minimizes rolling resistance while offering protection from premature wear caused by the additional driving force of an e-bike motor.

Vectran™ Breaker: Advanced Puncture Protection

Built for longevity and reliability, this tire incorporates Vectran™ Breaker technology, a lightweight shield against flats.

Vectran™ is spun from liquid crystal-polymer, creating a thermoplastic, multiple-thread yarn with exceptional properties:

• Superior Cut Resistance: This partially crystalline fabric is more cut-resistant than aramide.

• Extreme Tensile Strength: Its tensile strength is five times higher than that of steel.

• Lightweight Shield: The Vectran™ Breaker is lighter, more flexible, and highly effective against cuts compared to a comparable nylon breaker.

• Zero Compromise: Crucially, this advanced protection is achieved without negatively affecting rolling resistance.

E-Bike Ready and Certified Speed

Our tire lineup utilizes our over 100 years of experience with moped and motorcycle tires to ensure safety and durability on motorized bicycles.

• Standard E-Bike: All of our city/trekking tires are rated to a standard speed of at least 25 km/h.

• S-Pedelec Certified: This tire is ECE-R75-certified, making it recommended for e-bikes up to 50 km/h. Tires marked e50 are explicitly certified for high-speed S-Pedelecs.

• Suitable for E-Bikes: The reinforced casing is designed to handle the higher loads and torque of both traditional and electric mountain bikes.
