"A little stumbling with the first skin, but now I’ve found the technique and was ready for my first ever ride with studs in my 47 years! reTyre gives me the security I didn’t know I was looking for in winter cycling"

reTyre’s concept is simple – everyday we wear different shoes based on where we go, so why do everyday bikes get tires that almost never change until worn out? The issue is the hassle, so their zip-on reTyre system makes it fast and easy to zip the perfect tread onto the bike for every ride – no need to even take the wheel off the bike.

Overnight blizzard? Zip on studs. Going from suburbs to single-track? Zip on your trail treads. The reTyre presents one of the craziest bike tire designs we have seen in a while.
Featuring 156 carbide studs per skin, it allows commuters to quickly make their tires ice-ready whenever the weather dictates, but then switch back to the smoother – running base tires when the ice melts.

Will reTyre work on my bike?
To determine if your bike will fit reTyre, two measures you should consider are: the tire (rim) size and the fork clearance.
There are several ways of determining your tire size. If you already have a bike, you can check the size of your current tyres, the number is engraved on the tyre sidewall. If the information is not readable, you can measure the rim diameter and find corresponding size. If you are buying a new bike, check the tire and rim specification.
After determining the size, you should make sure you have enough clearance for both reTyre One and Skin of your choice. Depending of the size, minimum clearance you need is as follows:
63 mm clearance for the 26” and 28”
72 mm clearance for the 29”
Fenders can sometime be a problem, but most are easily adjustable to fit reTyre.
