E-Wild 27.5in Tire

E-GUM-X is a specialized rubber compound developed by Michelin for their tires, particularly designed for off-road and rugged terrain riding. It enhances grip and control, allowing riders to maintain better traction on various surfaces. This means you can ride with more confidence, especially in challenging conditions, making your overall experience smoother and safer.

Gravity Shield is a tire casing technology that provides extra protection against punctures and impacts. This is especially important for enduro riders who often face rough trails and obstacles. With Gravity Shield, you can expect your tires to withstand tough conditions better, reducing the likelihood of flats and ensuring a more reliable ride.

TPI stands for Threads Per Inch, which measures the density of the threads in a tire's casing. A higher TPI, like 60, indicates a lighter and more flexible tire, enhancing ride quality and performance. This balance between durability and performance is crucial for various riding conditions, allowing for a more responsive and comfortable ride.

PSI, or Pounds per Square Inch, measures the air pressure inside your tire. The recommended PSI of 58 is crucial for optimal performance, handling, and comfort. Proper tire pressure ensures safety while riding, improves traction, and enhances the overall efficiency of your bike, making it essential to maintain the specified pressure for the best riding experience.

Clincher tires are the most common type used on bicycles, featuring a bead that holds the tire onto the rim. They are easy to mount and remove, making maintenance straightforward. "Tubeless ready" means that these tires can be used without an inner tube, allowing for lower pressure and a reduced risk of punctures, which can enhance your riding experience by providing better traction and comfort.

To determine if your bike is compatible with E-GUM-X tires, check the tire size specifications on your current tires and ensure they match the size of the E-GUM-X tires you are considering. Additionally, confirm that your bike's rim type is suitable for clincher tires. If you're unsure, consult your bike's manual or a local bike shop for guidance on compatibility.
