Gravel Chaser – This skin is the go-to skin for your bike-packing & weekend adventures, and it is perfectly designed to give you optimal grip on gravel roads.
Predictable Cornering
The shoulder knobs are angled to provide predictable handling and cornering.
Soft Rubber
Our custom rubber compound ensures optimal grip and traction even on wet terrain.
Fast Rolling
The center and transition knob height is reduced to get a faster rolling skin.
Gravel Chaser adds approximately 4mm (0.15 inches) to the height and 14mm (0.5 inches) to the width of your reTyre One base tyre when mounted. In terms of standard sizing for tyres, the effective tyre size with skin is:
26'' = 50-559/26x2.0
27.5 = 57-584/27.5x2.25
28'' = 50-622/28x2.0
29'' = 57-622/29x2.25
All reTyre skins are compatible and interchangeable with the reTyre One base tyre of the equivalent diameter.
The Gravel Chaser skin can only be used with our ONE base tyre already mounted on your bicycle.
1. Pin position
Attach the starting point to both sides of the tyre before closing the zipper. Check that the starting point is properly attached before you begin to close the zipper.
2. Stretch
While closing the zipper, stretch the skin a bit to make sure it fits perfectly. Alternate between the sides while you close the zippers to reduce the resistance. The skin should meet itself at the end.
3. Puller
Finally, when the skin is installed, remember to close the puller into the locked position to secure it.
reTyre is a modular tyre system with interchangeable skins, featuring a integrated zip-on technology, allowing you to adapt your tyre in seconds.
The Modular System means that our tires consist of 2 modules:
- The reTyre One base tyre, a fast and slick road tyre. Always on the bike and with integrated zip-on technology.
- reTyre Skins for diferent road conditions. Also with integrated zip-on technology, making it fast and easy to take them on and off the base tyre.
reTyre performs just like any other conventional tire, while the integrated zippers offer additional functionality. With reTyre, you can change/adapt the tire tread in less than 30 seconds. It is easy, it is fast and it is safe! With our tires, cyclists always have the best possible grip, because Skins are light, foldable and easily brought with you.
No, reTyre Skins only fit reTyre base tyres (reTyre One) which come with integrated zipper and correct number of zipper teeth to ensure the perfect fit.
The base tyre has embedded anti puncture coating. Adding a skin gives an additional layer of rubber, making it almost impossible to puncture.
No. The Skins fit perfectly to base tyre (reTyre One) inflated and already used on your bike. No extra work required.
No, rubber-to-rubber friction ensures that your experience riding on reTyre Skins is no different from riding on regular tyres. No matter your speed, cornering and braking, you don't feel that you have 2 layers of tyres.
No, you can easily zip on the skins while your wheels are mounted to your bike. You need a one time change to the reyre one base tyres for your bike to be modular, after that you can zip skins on and off without taking of the wheel.
The Gravel Chaser is great for riding on gravel roads and light forest trails. It is also great for grip on wet asphalt.
How does it work?
Zip on - Zip off!
Two years ago, I've ordered a winter starter set (Base skin and winter traveler skin). As I am very happy with the products I decided to buy the graverl chaser skin. All products working very well!
After two years nearly almost using the base skin (only two or weeks with snow and ice in our rhine valley area) they have partly no profil left on the rear wheel, due to some harder brakings. Therefor the graverls need to be ordered and they work really excellent.
One suggestion: It was easy for me to oversee the rotational direction, so I had double work first time :-( , could you add this a bit more prominent to your instructions?
Storfornøyd med Retyre. En liten ide til forbedring: Glidelåshempene løsner ofte - jeg har løst det ved å "binde" dem fast med strikk rundt felgen - en lite proff løsning. Kanskje hempene kunne utstyres med en åpne-lukke anordning, slik at de festes til ytterdekket bare når det trengs!
Bra piggdekk, kunne ha hatt noen flere pigger på siden av banen.
Gatedekket er veldig bra god rulle egenskaper, knastedkket har jeg nettopp kjøpt
Og har bare testet det noen ganger, men så langt virker det meget bra.
Meine Frau nutzt diese Skins in Saas-Fee im Winter. Sehr gute Qualität, schnelle Lieferung und sehr einfache Montage. Sehr empfehlenswert!
