Continental Ruban
Best versatile tire for riders splitting time between pavement and trails
This is the ultimate hybrid tire for riders who refuse to choose between pavement and dirt. By pairing a fast-rolling center strip with aggressive, grippy shoulders, it handles urban commutes and gravel detours with equal confidence. It’s built tough enough for e-bike torque, though you sacrifice a bit of weight for that extra puncture protection.
