Ideal for commuters, touring riders and e-bike users who want a fast-rolling 700c tyre with robust puncture protection and improved low-light visibility.
The Randonneur Tech is a 700x28c city and hybrid tyre for commuting, touring and everyday road riding. Its classic road-slick tread keeps rolling efficiency high on sealed surfaces, while subtle siping helps channel water away from the contact patch in wet conditions.
For riders who want fewer roadside interruptions, the tyre combines a 33 TPI nylon casing with a 1 mm rubber protection layer and two nylon layers. The additional bead protection helps defend a high-wear area, while the Graphene-infused compound is designed to balance rolling efficiency, grip and durability. In real-world testing of the wider 700x32c version, the tyre delivered a smooth, reasonably quick ride and remained puncture-free over close to 300 miles of mixed winter riding.
The reflective sidewalls flash as the tyre rotates, helping you stand out in low-light urban traffic. It is also R-75 compliant for e-bike use, making it suitable for regulation-compliant electric-bike applications. This is a tube-type rigid tyre, and no hookless compatibility designation is published for the 700x28c size, so check your rim manufacturer's requirements before fitting.
Built for daily commuting
The road-slick tread is suited to urban streets, touring routes and everyday sealed-road riding, with a smooth feel that does not come across as excessively draggy in independent testing.
Strong puncture defence
A rubber protection layer backed by nylon layers helps resist sharp road debris, reducing the chance of flats during regular commuting and touring.
Wet-weather confidence
Subtle tread channels and shoulder grip are designed to maintain contact and predictable handling on damp roads.
Reflective sidewalls
The sidewalls catch light as the tyre rotates, helping improve your visibility to other road users during low-light rides.
Graphene-infused compound
The 1C compound is designed to combine efficient rolling with traction, durability and reduced road vibration.
E-bike ready
R-75 compliant construction is engineered for the higher loads and speeds associated with regulation-compliant e-bike use.
Rigid tube-type construction
The wire-bead format is a straightforward match for compatible clincher rims and inner-tube setups.
Compact 28 mm format
The 700x28c size suits road-oriented commuters and touring bikes where you want a practical balance of speed, comfort and everyday protection.
