Product Reviews

As an enduro rider who lives and breathes for the descents, I'm impressed with how well the reTyre system holds up to abuse. My bar is pretty high, so for regular users the system is intended for, it will definitely be a 5* experience.

All perfect

I was first sceptical about the whole thing but wanted to try it. Guess what - it works like a charm. If anything it is a little bit heavier than a allround tyre but getting to use a road tyre whenever I want instead of a gravel tyre 100% makes up for it!!! Only downside is why didn't I come up with this myself!

Har nu provat först vinterdäcken i vinterväglag, snö och is. Spårar bra, kanske lite tunga. Sedan blev det blött och grus, tog av vinterbanan. Rullar väldigt lätt men inte mycket mönster, har inte fått någon punktering.

Only tested the reTyre One (size 42-622), but it performs just as expected! Low rolling resistance - pretty much like any road tyre. The zipper doesn't seem to affect anything so that's nice. Looking forward to testing the studded skin when the winter comes

reTyre was the perfect solution on gravel roads and single tracks on my recent South African Charity Tour ride. 2900 km and zero punctures over the whole distance, while still having an excellent grip on all road types!

A little stumbling with the first skin, but now I’ve found the technique and was ready for my first ever ride with studs in my 47 years! reTyre gives me the security I didn’t know I was looking for in winter cycling

Surprisingly good product, easy to use, does add stability and security on different terrains. Didn't ever think of my bike tires before reTyre!

Great product. The only issue I have is that the ends don't seem to meet too well & therefore debris gets in-between the tyre & the skin which has caused a puncture. This maybe something that needs looking at as a future improvement.

reTyre One (Wire)

reTyre was the perfect solution on gravel roads and single tracks on my recent South African Charity Tour ride. 2900 km and zero punctures over the whole distance, while still having an excellent grip on all road types! reTyre is a perfect solution on gravel roads as well as on single tracks. Riding on tarred roads was fine as well. reTyre is truly a very reliable solution!

I typically ride pavement to work and singletrack home. When I saw this product on pinkbike I was so excited and despite the limited reviews, ordered a set. I absolutely loved them for a couple months. One morning unfortunately one of my trail rider skins lost the zipper on the trail. I didn’t notice until I went to remove them. I was really disappointed as I had been planning to use them for my first bikepacking overnighter the following weekend. I reached out to the company and it sounds like it was just a manufacturing defect. They got back to me within 15 minutes and not only was the company going to replace the skin free of charge, but they rushed the order to Northern Canada from Norway. Sure enough, they got here in time and the treads were a godsend the deep gravel and single track while the smoothie was great on the miles of pavement.

I bought the Gravel Chaser in order to get more grip in turns and on bumpy gravel road compared to the "One" tyre. It fully lived up to my hopes in improvement. Good grip on all kinds of gravel so far, and on paved roads it is not bad either. I did notice some sand got in between the ends of the skin during rainy weather, which resulted in some noise, but it gradually reduced over time and is back to normal now. Recommended.

Last year, I bought an 26 x 1.6 Retyre One - Premium with a Winter Skin for my Urban Arrow cargo bike (picture attached). After about 700 Km of road, the tyre bursted and I saw it was because of an abnormal wear against the rim (picture attached). The Size of the rear rim is ETRTO 559 x 25 and the size of the usual tyre is 26 x 2.15. In theory, the rim allows a 26 x 1.6 tyre but it's the minimal size. In fact, it's probably too small and explains the abnormal wear. I was sorry because I think your concept is very clever for people biking in sporadic snowy conditions (I live in the mountains and ride my bike every day all year long). It avoids to remove the rear wheel to change the tyre, wich is difficult for this kind of bike. For other sizes of compatible rims, I recommend your product. Best regards.

Looking forward to going over to the Ice Racer skins now that it's October, but the Gravel Chasers have done a great job getting me around Longyearbyen and the surroundings this summer. Photo from Endalen (https://toposvalbard.npolar.no/?lat=78.18563&long=15.76916&zoom=9&layer=map), last ride of the autumn on the Gravel Chasers. Fine around town on the paved roads as well.

"Super happy with my bike tires! Used reTyre base tires in Lodalen last week. Easily added gravel-skin with zipper for a tour in Eastmarka today. Brilliant for us who use the same bike for different surfaces!"

These skins have made winter commuting a pleasure. Commuting to work everyday was a challenge after a snow fall or if the snow became packed and icy. With these skins, I can zip them on in a couple minutes and ride as if I was on asphalt. If the roads are clear, they are easily zipped off and stored in the bag for the next snowfall. I love these so much I ordered a second set.

Perfekt service

These tires fit my commuting needs perfectly. I live downtown and don't want a second bike or wheels. I commute over snow or ice 3-4 months a year. The tires look great. They are easy to zip on and off. The studded winter tires are great and provide great feel and stability. The carrying bag is the perfect size. Fast shipping across an ocean. Well done!

So easy and fast to get tires on bike ready to go when weather changes during the night. Especially when weather cannot decide what to do, and give us spring, frost, summer (kind off), autumn and again frost/winter during two weeks.... Zipp on...zipp off...zipp on...zipp off

Raskt og pent levert, med strikk og bag, smart tips-tag på skin, og basedekket er nå montert i påvente av nattefrost. Ruller godt! Info/spec på ideell slangestørrelse ønskes, ble litt mye gummi til overs på de gamle smultringene. Glansbilde lagt på instagram story/feed og facebook. Må gå videre med et sett Gravel chaser 😀

ReTyre One is fast-rolling. The grip feels very good. It is the best summer tires I have used. The downside is that I cannot use reTyre skins, because the mudguards of my bicycle are too close to the wheels. So I can only use reTyre in the summer. I have used reTyre One for two summer seasons.

Now that snow is here, I tried my skin for the first time. It was nice to "change" my tyres in just 5 minutes.

excellent tyre!

Winter Traveler Skin

I started using my bike as a transport to work this summer. Before that I had used my bike to ride offroad in the weekends. The old offroad tires were worn down and I needed to replace these. At the same time I was thinking about rather buying slick tires for the transport to work. Luckily I came over these tires that had the possibility to quickly and easily change the tires. The tires are really quick and easy to change. Now i dont have to have two sets of rims to change the tires. Have rided 500+ km on these tires now and have not had any problems with the zippers. Seems like good quality. Looking forward to try the winter tires with spikes on the ice and snow conditions.

Brave icy roads. Thank you!

I got this system for winter riding in Calgary, when the mornings are iced covered pathways, but afternoons are only wet. My commute is 20km each way and so running studs (one or both wheels) full time would add too much rolling resistance. So this system provides me with the best of both for this climate! Most days I only need the front studded but even if the initial conditions require both studded tires, I have the option to remove one skin mid-commute, in about 2min, if the path or roads improve. So far very happy. Don’t forget to do the 25km run-in on dry paths to set the studs in your new skins!

superb produkt. Easy to use, fun to ride with

Très bon pack! Monté sur mon Fuji Jari depuis plus d'un an. Le pneu de base est très roulant et résistant. Très bonne tenue par temps de pluie. Peut être juste améliorer le système anticrevaison. C'est déjà bien, mais il faudrait se rapprocher un max des schwalbe Marathon + ou des continental 4s par exemple. La skin est facile à monter. Testée sur verglas et sur neige 👌 ! Très bonne tenue de route ! Très surpris ! La skin ne bouge pas ! En cas de soucis, le service après-vente est très réactif ! Et plus qu'honorable ! Merci pour vos produits ! Prochaine étape : la skin gravel. Achetez les yeux fermés ! ☺️

I've used the base tyres for the last few weeks getting to and from work and they are awesome! They don't slow me down when I stop pedaling like my old tyres use to and in fact I'm now looking to upgrade my cassette and crank because now because I can't pedal fast enough to keep up with the speed increase with the tyres. Highly recommend using them and I'll be buying some skins soon

All perfect

Veldig fornøyd med dekkene. Kunne ønsket fler pigg i visse situasjoner, håper ice racer kommer i 29"

The tires can be used the whole year. Normal tire and winter tire with zipper. Perfect for those who likes to use bicycle everyday.

I bought the Winter Traveler Skin along with reTyre One before the winter of 2019/2020. I live in the inner eastern part of Norway and have months of mixed cold weather during winter. The skin works as well on snow, slush and rock solid ice as any other studded tyre, but is much easier to mount and de-mount. I've mostly used it for transportation, not any heavy trail rides. reTyre one I find to be a little bit unstable at high speeds on pavement during summer. I will be buying a summer skin, likely for gravel, hoping that will improve things. All in all a great product, I now spend 2 minutes on what I used to spend 45 minutes on in biting cold.

Utrolig lett å montere! Fikk til og med personlig veiledning:-)

Superlativene står i kø hva angår service og levering av både testkit for å finne riktig størrelse og type til min sykkel, samt ved kjøp og levering av selve produktet. Dette selskapet er min anbefaling videre til alle som vurderer å begi seg ut på sykkel vinterstid. Genialt produkt og helt rossignol service. Full HD og ti tommeltotter opp 👍

Enestående oppfølging ved kjøp og rask leveranse 🙂

(How do I attach pictures? ) I am very happy with my Winter Traveler. It makes winter easier and healthier. I just wish One had a bit deeper pattern, so that it could be used on dust tracas in the rain. But I will order a pair of Travel Chaser and they will do the job. Thanks!

Genialt produkt. Utrolig lett å montere. Veldig fornøyd med dekkene.

Väldigt enkelt att montera. Visade sig vid montering att den ena dragkedjan hade fel från fabrik och inte gick att montera. ReTyre ordnande nytt ”skin” och bytte däcket. Väldigt bra och personlig service!!

Veldig bra system. Enkel og rask montering. Ice Racer fungerer bra på varierende temperatur forhold i kyst-Norge, Tromsø.

dette er flott produkt og har spart så mye tid. jeg vill anbefaler till alle som har behov til å skift dekk i vinter

ReTyre er en veldig smart løsning. Enkelt å ta på basisdekkene og raskt å montere piggdekkene.

Dette er en smart og praktisk løsning for deg som har varierende føre igjennom vinteren. Løsningen er enkel som den er genial. Etter litt trening så går dekkskiftet på 1-2 minutter. Størrelsen på dekkene ble problem for min sykkel. Rammen ble for liten når piggdekkene ble zippet på så det passet desverre ikke for meg. Sommerdekkene er enkle å montere og med et ekstra lag med gummi i piggdekkene så skal det veldig mye til å punktere. Supert produkt, men husk å sjekke om du har stor nok sykkel.

Makan til kundeservice har jeg aldri opplevd. Helt i ypperste klasse! Har kun fått testet RetyreOne basedekket ennå. Det opplever jeg som et skikkelig bra dekk i seg selv! Retyre har ikke bare laget noe som skal holde på skins. Godt grep selv på våt asfalt.

Winter Traveler Kampanjepakke

Veldig god kundeservice. De ringte opp og forklarte hva "skin" innebærer, og ga gode tips til både hvordan sette på og hvordan de best bør brukes. Rask levering. Dekkene er enkle å sette på med glidelås.

Kjøpet fra retyre var en god opplevelse! Selve dekkpakken fungerer bra. Dekkene er enkle å montere og de sitter som klistret til underlaget. De er riktignok tyngre enn regulære vinterdekk og det merkes godt ved at det kreves større kraft i tråkket. Men det var jeg klar over da jeg kjøpte dekkpakken -så like blid 🙂

Jeg er veldig fornøyd med produktet. Det svarer til forventningene. Det har blitt mange fine sykkelturer hitti i vinter.

Jeg har nå rullet med Retyre i et år og kan ikke være mye mer fornøyd. Jeg startet med forrige generasjon basedekk, men har nå kjøpt inn den nye generasjonen som ruller enda bedre, glidelåsen funker som en drøm og kommer med en betryggende refleksstripe på siden. Kundeservice er nydelig, da jeg først hadde lagt til et produkt for mye i kassen, ringte de meg og spurte om dette var riktig. Siden jeg hadde gjort en feil, slettet de bare produktet og refunderte pengene. Neste gang hadde jeg klart å ødelegge dekket fullstendig pga egen dumhet og måtte kjøpe nytt. Dette fikk jeg uten betaling mot at jeg forklarte hvor skadene på dekket var. Dette er et selskap som hører på kundene sine og tar enhver sjanse til å forbedre et produkt som ikke egentlig finnes noe annet sted. Så jeg er absolutt fornøyd med kjøpene mine her 🙂

simply genius. fast and rast in use

I've been rocking this tires for over a month now and I'm totally satisfied. I have my daily bikes with Retyre and a weekend bike with normal winter tires which I installed myself, and it's just SO easy to install Retyre's skin to make my bike ice-ready in comparison to the weekend bike (which I puncture a tube while installing the normal piggdekker) Also lately it's been raining a lot in Oslo and not really cold. With the weekend bike I just have to keep on using the winter tires. Meanwhile with my daily bike I just removed the skins and bam, no more need to ride with piggdekk uselessly. Also the tires where caked in mud, but I have no problem in zipping the skins out. I cannot recommend them enough, it's a good investment.

Meget hurtig leveranse og allright montasje for en som ikke byttet dekk på tyve år.

Har byddybike c5, elsykkel, når dekkene står på sykkelen ved kjøp, er det litt kjedelig at eg må ta av framskjerm ved bruk av gravel caser. Har justert skjerm ,satt på xtra skiver men tar oppi allikevel, spesielt ved svinging.

Etter 2000 km, med piggdekk på varierte veier i Oslo er jeg veldig fornøyd med gripe evnen på både vått og tørt vinterføre 😀

Veldig fornøyd. Solide dekk. Enkelt å skifte. Kunnet sykle hver dag gjennom vinteren. Anbefales.

Supert produkt, svært fornøyd. Dekkene bygger ganske mye i høyden, så pass på å ha litt romslig plass under skjermene - jeg måtte modifisere mine på en bysykkel.

Eg har sykla med piggdekka i ein vinter, for det meste transport, og så langt synes eg ReTyre held det dei har lova. Eg sett av 5 min til å setje dekka på, og tek dei av på eit augeblikk, noko som er praktisk i vekslande forhold under vinteren sin start- og sluttfase. Dekka sitt godt på hovuddekket, og har godt grep i bakken. Minuset med dekka er at hjulet uunngåeleg vert både høgare, breiare og tyngre. Det vil sei at ein er nøydd til å ha litt plass rundt hjulet til å setje skinsa på, og at dei kanskje ikkje er eigna for ein sportssyklist. Eg har berre mista nokre få piggar i laupet av vinteren, og tenkjer å bruke dei samme dekka til neste vinter. Alt i alt godt kjøp, utmerka for transportsyklistar i bystrøk!

Jeg har brukt dekkene i flere år. Fungerer veldig bra, men siste dekk viste det seg at syingen raknet. Kan gjerne sende bilde av dette. Fantastisk service hos dere. Fint med nye produkter.. fin dag:)
