SIZE INFORMATION
- 26" = 42-559/26x1.6
- 27.5": 50-584/ 27.5x2.0
- 28" = 42-622/28x1.6
- 29" = 50-622/29x2.0
All reTyre skins are compatible and interchangeable with the reTyre One base tyre of the equivalent diameter.
1. Mount the base tyre on the rim like any conventional tyre and inflate to the recommended tyre pressure noted on the tyre.
2. We recommend that you let the tyre sit on the rim for 24 hours or have a short ride before mounting the skin. This important step will allow the base tyre to expand and reach its normal size; which will guarantee a perfect fit between the skin and the base tire and the optimum conditions for use.
Zipping on skins:
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.
Since the reTyre One tire is like any other regular tire, just with addition of zippers, the life expectancy is absolutely the same, only depending on your ride habits, storage, exposure to sun and different temperatures. For every manufactured batch of tires, we are sample testing for endurance on standardized test apparatus (with and without skin mounted), to ensure you get the best quality tyre.
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!
Yes, you can. All reTyre skins are compatible and interchangeable with the reTyre One base tyre of the equivalent diameter.
You can check your current tire for the size and pick a matching one. Per industry standards, these are common:
26" = 42-559/26x1.6 - common size for older Mountain bikes or kids bikes, but can also be found on City bikes
27.5" = 50-584/ 27.5x2.0 - common size for mountain bikes.
29" = 50-622/29x2.0 - works on the same rims as the 28", but is a bit larger, common for Mountain bikes. However, for reTyre system, beside the wheel size, you will need to make sure you have enough fork clearance. Check our Size Guide for more information.
If you're unsure about the size, please choose the "unsure" option when buying, and we will help you find the right one.
No, you need to buy a base tyre to use the reTyre system.
No. The Skins fit perfectly to base tyre (reTyre One) inflated and already used on your bike. No extra work required.

Superb tyres. Been riding retyre vinter and summer for sveral years now. Just cant stop telling people how great it works
The whole reTyre system works perfectly with my VanMoof S3. Now it's a perfect commuter bike under winter conditions, without having to take the whole bike apart and put it back together again when the road conditions change (S3 users know what I mean :-)).
I use my bicycle for commuting, also in winter. It works well to have the winter skins in my bag on the rear rack and being able to put them on or take them off quickly as the weather or temperature change. I actually need a bit more than 60 seconds for the rear wheel with the bike standing up but not more than 2 minutes :). The zippers are fine but in order not to stress them too much, I usually deflate the tyres a bit before closing the zippers and then pump again of course. And I keep the zippers lubricated with a bit of ski wax or a candle (I have destroyed one reTyre zipper when in a hurry).
I wanted the largest skins possible with the largest number of studs for the two wheels which meant that I had to change and modify the front and rear fenders, but it was worth the trouble. The Ice Racer Skin with 300 studs passes through the front fork so I use that on the front wheel. There is not room enough for the Ice Racer Skin in the rear fork but the Winter Traveler works well for the rear wheel. I believe that the front wheel is the more critical wheel so I am happy to have the Ice Racer there. I am very satisfied with reTyre.
Sono completamente soddisfatto del prodotto reTyre ; Ho la possibilità di scegliere il battistrada per le mie passeggiate in città oppure utilizzare il battistrada per le mie uscite sui sentieri di montagna
Prodotto molto intelligente
I’m completely satisfied with reTyre ; I can choose the tread for my ride in town or use the skin for my ride on the mountain paths
A very clever product
Je fais 200 m de dénivelée tous les jours pour aller au boulot, dernièrement j'ai enfin pu tester mes pneus dans des conditions hivernales avec neige au sol sur la route : montage rapide, super tenue à la montée comme à la descente, je recommande !!
