Why Dublin Riders Choose It

Whether you commute through the city centre or tour along the Grand Canal, the RIDE Tour E-25 tyre offers confidence-inspiring traction and puncture resistance. Local cyclists appreciate the reflective sidewall for evening visibility on canal paths and suburban routes. Its e-bike rating means it can handle heavier loads and higher speeds encountered on electric commutes across Dublin 8 and beyond.

Usage Recommendations

City Commuting & Errands

Inflate to 50–60 PSI for efficient rolling on Dublin’s paved streets. The semi-slick centre tread reduces rolling resistance while the reflective sidewall increases visibility in dawn, dusk or rainy conditions. Perfect for daily rides to work, campus and local shops.

E-Bike Riding

Designed for e-bikes up to 25 km/h, the reinforced casing supports the extra weight and torque. Keep tyre pressure around 55–65 PSI when carrying battery and cargo for a stable ride on suburban routes or canal towpaths.

Light Touring & Gravel Paths

Lower pressure to 45–50 PSI when loaded with panniers for weekend tours to Howth or Wicklow. The shallow side knobs offer added traction on light gravel, mud and leaf-covered trails while maintaining smooth performance on tarmac.

All-Weather Performance

Ireland’s weather is unpredictable. The durable rubber compound and reflective stripe keep you rolling and visible in wet, windy or overcast conditions. After a wet ride, clean the tyre with a damp cloth to remove road salt and grit.

Recommended Accessories & Complementary Items

• Presta Valve Inner Tube: Use a high-quality 700 x 42c Presta tube (e.g., SV 13J) for reliable air retention and puncture protection.
• Tire Levers: Robust, thin levers (e.g., Pedro’s Tire Levers) to help remove tight 42c tyres without damaging rims.
• High-Volume Pump: A floor pump with 4.5 bar capability and accurate gauge makes inflating to 65 PSI easy.
• Patch Kit: Carry a compact kit with patches and a boot for emergency repairs on long rides across rural roads.
• Reflective Spoke Strips: Add extra reflection around the wheel for night-time safety in Dublin’s low-light conditions.
• Tyre Sealant (Optional): For added puncture resistance on gravel tours, inject sealant through removable Presta cores to self-seal small cuts.

Tips & Tricks

• Proper Seating: When mounting the tyre, inflate slowly to 20 PSI first to seat the bead evenly, then finish to target pressure to avoid pinch flats.
• Pressure Adjustment: Adjust pressure by load and terrain. Lighter riders or solo commute can run 60–65 PSI for speed; loaded touring requires 45–50 PSI for comfort and traction.
• Inspect Regularly: Check the reflective stripe and tread for cuts, embedded glass or stones after each ride. Remove debris promptly to avoid punctures.
• Rotate Front/Rear: Swap front and rear tyres every 1,000 km to ensure even wear, especially on heavier e-bikes and loaded touring setups.
• Clean After Wet Rides: Rinse off road salt and grit after Dublin’s rainy commutes to prevent rubber degradation and maintain reflection performance.
• Store Correctly: Keep spare tyres in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and ozone sources to prevent cracking or gum-like residue.
