What kind of tires are best for an electric gravel bike?

When choosing tires for an electric gravel bike, it's important to consider the type of terrain you intend to ride on, durability, grip, and speed. These are our recommendations:

1. Gravel tires have a light tread that allows them to roll fast on gravel roads, and with enough grip on technical trails.

2. Mountain tires have a more aggressive and deeper tread pattern, for greater traction on difficult and rocky terrain.

3. Hybrid tires are perfect for cyclists who ride on different types of surfaces.

4. Tubeless tires do not require an inner tube, which means they can run at lower pressure, increasing traction and reducing the chance of flats.

5. Tires with reinforced sidewalls are ideal for cyclists who ride on steep and stony terrain.
