Super73 Tyre Guide

15 September 2023 by Jo Smith in All RideOn News, RideOn Shop, E-Bike Accessories

When choosing tyres for your Super 73 e-bike, consider the type of terrain you’ll be riding on the most. Wider tyres generally provide better traction on uneven or soft surfaces, while narrower tyres might offer better efficiency and speed on smoother roads. Additionally, factors like tyre tread pattern, rubber compound, and air pressure can also influence the performance of the tyres.

So, if you’re thinking of a tyre upgrade, but aren’t sure where to start, here’s our handy guide to help you make the right choice for your bike and your needs. 

TROOPER 4” Front / 4” Rear

The street smart tyre with minimal tread pattern for street handling.  The Trooper series is optimised for superior urban performance, allowing you to explore your town or city like never before.

These tyres are a standard-sized tyre with a width of 4 inches for both the front and rear wheels. A 4-inch width would provide a good balance between stability, traction, and comfort. It’s a common size for electric bikes and provides a decent level of grip for various surfaces.

The Trooper is compatible with all Super73 models, with the exception of the ZG.

LZRD / 4.5″ Front / 4.5″ Rear

The Cruise Control tyre built for extended range commuting, this series was designed with both reliability and efficiency in mind.  With a Micro-Knurled surface texture for maximum grip, an all-weather on-road tread pattern, and a centre “Speed Strip” for straight line speed, nothing will stand in your way.

The LZRD tyres have a slightly larger width of 4.5 inches for both the front and rear wheels compared to the Troopers. The increased width offers improved traction and stability, especially on rougher terrain or uneven surfaces. The larger contact patch with the ground can enhance control and handling.

It was designed with micro-knurling to improve cornering grip while balancing extended tyre life. Available in a 20in. x 4.5in. width and puncture-resistant override.

The LZRD tyres are compatible with all Super73 models.

BDGR / 4.5″& 5” Front / 4.5” & 5″ Rear

Switch it up with the BDGR Override series which are available in both 20in. x 4.5in. and 20in. x 5in. They are perfect for riders looking to blur the boundaries of light trail and street performance. These tyres are a bit knobby, but with a smooth finish that allows for versatile riding conditions.

The BDGR is a natural urban explorer. Built to take on the concrete jungle, with a modernised big block tread design, this tyre is ready to dodge and weave through back alleys, green belts, and traffic-laden streets to deliver you to your final destination with confidence and style.

Don’t let its rugged good looks fool you though, the BDGR rolls smooth and quiet providing comfortable and efficient operation.

The BDGRs are compatible with all Super73 models, with the exception of the ZG.

GRZLY / 4.5″ & 5″ Front / 4.5″ & 5″ Rear

The GRZLY tyres have the same tyre width as the BDGRs.  This suggests that they offer a similar balance of features, with a wider rear tyre contributing to improved traction and stability.

With puncture-resistant override and available in a width of 20in. x 4.5in., the GRZLY offers a tread for those seeking to venture beyond the paved path.  With an aggressive knobby tread pattern, the GRZLY has excellent grip on a variety of terrain, designed to dig into loose dirt and gravel with ferocity, or provide consistent contact and grip on hardpack, rock, and asphalt. Ride with freedom and explore with confidence knowing that the GRZLY tyres don’t back down from a challenge.

The GRZLY is compatible with all Super73 models, with the exception of the ZG.
