Bontrager R2 Hard Case Lite Road Bike Tyre - 579780

The R2 Hard-Case Lite is primarily designed for clincher setups. Please check the specific tyre sidewall markings for tube-type or tubeless-ready compatibility.

Replace your tyres when the tread pattern becomes flat in the center or when the casing becomes visible through the rubber.

While the tyre is durable, it is designed for road use. Frequent use on sharp gravel may lead to faster wear and increased puncture risk.

The 60a rating refers to the durometer (hardness) of the rubber, which is balanced to provide good grip while resisting rapid wear.

The Aero Wing bead fills the gap between the rim and the tyre, creating a flush profile that reduces air turbulence and improves aerodynamic efficiency.

Ensure the bead is fully tucked into the center channel of the rim before inflating, and use a tyre lever carefully if the fit is tight.

Check your tyre pressure before every ride; under-inflated tyres are more susceptible to pinch flats and debris penetration.

This is often a sign of dry rot or UV exposure. Ensure the bike is stored in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use.
