What types of puncture protection are available for 20x4 tires?
There are different types of puncture protection for 20x4 tires, including:
-
Classic puncture protection (B-Proof) : This includes rubber inserts under the tread that protect the tires from punctures and cuts.
-
Override Technology : This technology offers a more advanced form of puncture protection. Some features of this technology are:
-
Stronger casing : The Override casing is three times stronger than conventional aramid belts like B-Proof and twice as strong as improved versions like B-Proof+.
-
Lower TPI for better strength : Using a lower TPI (threads per inch) improves the puncture, cut and abrasion resistance of the tire.
-
Weight : The tire may be a little heavier due to the robust construction. However, this should be barely noticeable for riders of fast e-bikes with high-speed motors, as their main priority is performance and safety.
-
The choice between B-Proof puncture protection and Override technology depends on the individual needs of the rider, with Override technology being a more robust and advanced option for riders who experience extreme conditions and high speeds.
