FAQ

What does ECE-R75 e-bike certification mean?

ECE-R75 is a European standard for e-bike tires that certifies the tire is safe at assisted speeds up to 50km/h. It ensures the tire casing and materials can withstand the higher sustained speeds and loads generated by electric-assist bicycles.

How does the Contact Plus City differ from the standard Contact Plus?

The Contact Plus City is optimized for paved urban surfaces with a tarmac-specific tread profile for lower rolling resistance on smooth city streets. The standard Contact Plus has a more versatile tread for mixed urban and trekking use.

Is the wire bead heavy?

Wire bead tires are heavier and less packable than folding bead (Kevlar) tires, but they are more affordable and equally durable for regular use. For a city commuter tire that lives on the bike full-time, wire bead is the practical choice.

Best For

Urban commuters and e-bike riders who need a city-optimized tire with ECE-R75 e-bike certification, puncture protection, and reliable grip on paved city surfaces.
