Ruban ShieldWall

Yes, this tire is tubeless-ready. Running it tubeless allows you to lower your tire pressure for better traction and comfort on uneven terrain while reducing the risk of pinch flats.

The Ruban is designed as an all-around performer. Its tread pattern and Pure Grip compound are engineered to handle a wide variety of surfaces, ranging from loose dirt to hard-packed trails.

The 27.5-inch by 2.60-inch version of the Ruban ShieldWall weighs 880 grams. The folding bead construction helps keep this weight manageable without sacrificing structural integrity.

The ShieldWall system is an integrated puncture protection layer built into the tire casing. While no tire is completely immune to flats, this added layer significantly improves durability against common trail debris like thorns and sharp rocks.

While you can technically use this tire with an inner tube on a standard rim, you lose the primary benefits of the tubeless-ready design, such as lower pressure capabilities and improved flat resistance. For the best performance, we recommend pairing it with a tubeless-compatible rim.
