Trekking bike tyres - MTBIKER.shop

Choosing the right tyres for your trekking bike is crucial for comfortable and enjoyable off-road riding. Here is a short guide on how to choose tyres for a trekking bike:

Recommended tyre size: See your bike's specifications. Common trekking tyre sizes usually range from 26 inches, 27.5 inches or 28/29 inches. Pick the size that is suitable for the frame of your bike.
Tyre type:
- Tubeless: without an inner tube, less prone to punctures and can be used at lower pressures for better comfort and grip.
- With inner tube: do not need special installation, sealant, valves and tubeless tape, they are heavier.
Pattern profile: For the terrain, pick a tyre with an aggressive pattern. Deep patterns improve traction on uneven surfaces such as rocks, gravel, and mud. For road riding, pick a smooth pattern for better rolling and lower resistance.
Puncture protection: Tyres with reinforced Kevlar fibres or other layers increase protection against punctures. This is especially important when trekking, where you may encounter stones and difficult terrain.
TPI (threads per inch): A higher TPI generally means a more flexible tyre that offers better comfort and performance.
Brand reputation: Stick to reputable brands that are known for producing quality trekking bicycle tyres, such as Maxxis, Continental, Schwalbe.
