Ice Racer Skin

No, you need to buy a base tyre to use the reTyre system. You can order the ONE base tyre here, or buy a bundle to get everything you need to get started. 

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: 

1. The reTyre One base tyre, a fast and slick road tyre. Always on the bike and with integrated zip-on technology.
2. 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.

Heavy snow, extreme weather conditions and black ice.

Yes, you can. Depending on your ride style, weather conditions and personal preference, you can choose to: Mount reTyre One and Winter Traveler only on the front wheel, for advanced users who wish to reduce rolling resistance even in the winter months; Mount Ice Racer on the front and Winter Traveler on the rear wheel, provides even better grip on the front combined with less rolling resistance on the back, which works great on deeper snow.

The only difference is that the studs have a “running-in period" of minimum 25 km riding on asphalt, with low speeds and careful braking and turning in order for the studs to “fuse” together with the rubber, which is the norm for studded tyres. After the running-in period, use the studded skins normally while on snow/ice and use the base tyre for dry periods

Yes, if you are actively riding in winter season it is perfectly normal to lose some of the studs, but you can order the studding tool with spare studs and easily ready your skins for the next season. No need to buy a new skin!

No. The Skins fit perfectly to base tyre (reTyre One) inflated and already used on your bike. No extra work required.

All the materials used are of the highest quality.
The TPU skirts and zipper teeth are specially made out of strong nylon, for durability and easy maintenance. The puller is made of one of a kind stainless steel (grade 316), co-developed with SINTEF, to avoid corrosion and rust due to the use of salt on the road during the winter. For increased safety and durability reasons, the zipper is sewed onto the base tyre using double stitching with high-quality thread from Gütermann in Germany, and the adhesive-infused thread ensures a permanent integration to the tyre. Finally, our zipper is tested by SGS SA (the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company), and according to the standard Zipper Strength Test (EN 16732: 2015) it performs better than the highest strength requirements (Code E).

The zippers are specially developed to handle extreme and harsh environments and have the same life expectancy as the tyre. The zippers are self-cleaning due to the centrifugal forces, and the carefully calculated placement prevents any damages. Our zip-on technology has been carefully developed and tested since 2016, and zippers can actually outlive your tire - the rubber will be worn out before the zipper breaks!

This is a single reTyre Ice Racer skin, and that is what you get when you order this. You can of course adjust the quantity to get more Ice Racers. 

You need the ONE base tyre to use this skin. If you do not own any reTyre products yet, we recommend you to get started with a bundle to get everything you need to get started.
