reTyre One

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.

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.
