reTyre - the first zip-on tire system!

Casual cyclists tend to have one bike suited for mild terrain. Meanwhile, “serious” cyclists often have multiple bikes to tackle specific riding — urban commuting, mountain biking, winter riding, and more.
But Norwegian startup reTyre wants to take a serious cyclist’s versatility and combine it with the simplicity of a casual cyclist’s single-bike quiver. And believe it or not, it aims to accomplish that with zip-on tire treads.
The concept is both as wild and as basic as it sounds. A tiny zipper along the sidewall allows users to zip on studs or tread over a smooth road tire. And it claims to work on standard rims and just about any size.
The brand offers three “skins” to accommodate changing conditions. An urban winter tire sports 156 carbide studs. An all-terrain skin works for gravel and other soft, uneven surfaces with a light tread pattern. And the Trail X skin handles aggressive downhill mountain riding.
