CST C693 Tire

The CST C693 is designed for 26-inch wheels, which is a standard size for many older mountain bikes and recreational cruisers. Please verify that your current rims are compatible with a 26 x 2.125-inch tire size before purchasing.

While the tread is versatile enough for light bike paths and gravel trails, it is primarily optimized for street and urban riding. If you frequently ride on technical, muddy, or steep terrain, you may want a tire with a more aggressive, knobby tread pattern.

A clincher tire is the standard type used on most bicycles, where the tire bead hooks onto the rim edge and is held in place by an inner tube. This makes installation and roadside repairs straightforward for most cyclists.

You can adjust the pressure based on your weight and preference, but do not exceed the maximum rating of 65 PSI. Running the tire significantly below the recommended range can increase the risk of pinch flats, especially on rougher urban surfaces.

The C693 is engineered with a lightweight construction that typically offers a noticeable improvement in handling compared to heavy, entry-level stock tires. This reduction in rotating weight can make your bike feel more responsive during acceleration and cornering.
