RALSON Thar 28 × 1.60 (42-622 / 700 × 40C) tyre – black

RALSON Thar 28 × 1.60 is a versatile bicycle tyre designed for trekking, cross, city and other compatible bikes with 28-inch wheels. Thanks to its 42-622 size, it is a practical choice for daily commuting, recreational rides and cycle touring.

The tyre is supplied in a classic black design, which is easy to combine with various types and colours of bicycles. It is suitable for cyclists who are looking for versatile tyres for regular use.

A versatile tyre for trekking, cross and city bikes

The RALSON Thar model is designed for bicycles with rims with a bead seat diameter of 622 mm.

This size is commonly used on trekking, cross, city and some gravel bikes.

The 42 mm width offers a practical compromise between tyre volume and use on ordinary cycling routes. The tyre can be used on asphalt roads, cycle paths and paved paths, provided its specific tread pattern is appropriate.

Size 28 × 1.60 / 42-622 / 700 × 40C

The tyre is marked with three size figures:

• 28 × 1.60" – inch designation
• 42-622 – international ETRTO designation
• 700 × 40C – alternative size designation

The ETRTO 42-622 designation means:

• 42 mm – nominal tyre width
• 622 mm – rim bead seat diameter

All the designations listed refer to a rim with a diameter of 622 mm. The differences in the width figures arise from the different marking systems.

Before purchasing, we recommend checking compatibility with the rim and sufficient clearance for the tyre in the frame, fork and, where applicable, under the mudguards.

Practical 42 mm width for a comfortable ride

The nominal width of 42 mm is a versatile size for everyday and recreational cycling.

Compared with narrower tyres, it provides a larger air volume, which, at a suitably chosen pressure, can contribute to a more comfortable ride on uneven asphalt or lower-quality cycle paths.

This size will be appreciated especially by cyclists who are looking for a practical tyre for regular bicycle use.

The specific riding comfort, grip and rolling resistance also depend on the tread pattern, the rubber compound used, the inflation pressure and current conditions.

Classic black design

The RALSON Thar tyre is supplied in black, one of the most widespread designs for bicycle tyres.

Black tyres look versatile and suit both modern and older trekking, cross and city bikes.

The simple, timeless look makes it easy to match with the design of the bicycle.

Suitable for daily commuting and cycle touring

RALSON Thar 28 × 1.60 is a practical choice for cyclists who use their bicycle for journeys to work, to school, for shopping or on weekend trips.

Thanks to its 42-622 size, it can be used on many compatible trekking, cross and city bikes.

The tyre can serve as a replacement for worn original tyres or as part of regular bicycle maintenance.

Correct fitting and maintenance

Before fitting, we recommend checking the condition of the rim, the rim tape and, where applicable, the tube used.

It is important to observe the recommended inflation pressure stated on the tyre sidewall and also to respect the pressure limits of the rim.

Regular checks of pressure, tread wear and the condition of the sidewalls help to keep the tyre in good technical condition and contribute to safe riding.
