The Freedom Lightning is built with eBikes in mind: a smooth grooved centre to stretch battery range, serrated shoulders for cornering and wet grip, and Rhino Skin puncture protection.
Highlights
- Grooved slick centre for low rolling resistance and battery range
- Serrated shoulders for cornering stability and wet traction
- Rhino Skin: 5 mm high-elastic rubber puncture layer
- Reflective sidewall
- 60 TPI casing, wire bead
Designed for eBikes
The centre of the tread is a smooth, grooved slick, which keeps rolling resistance low so your battery goes further. The grooves also help drainage and ride comfort, while the serrated shoulders give stability through corners and traction in the wet.
Protection and visibility
Rhino Skin is a 5 mm layer of high-elastic rubber that resists punctures, so you're less likely to face a difficult tyre change. The 60 TPI casing adds protection, and reflective material in the sidewall lights up when headlights hit it.
Compatibility & fit
This tyre is sized 700 x 45c. Match it to the size moulded into your current tyre's sidewall: tyres for different wheel diameters aren't interchangeable, and the width needs to suit your rim and frame clearance. It has a wire bead, so it doesn't fold. Freedom doesn't list it as tubeless-ready, so plan to run it with an inner tube. Fitting and puncture repair are workshop services and aren't included in the price. Our workshop can fit your new tyres and check the tubes and rim tape while the wheels are out.
Freedom tyres are covered against manufacturing defects. Punctures, tread and casing wear, damage from incorrect inflation or fitting, and misuse aren't manufacturing defects. This cover is in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Keep your proof of purchase. For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with Freedom's Australian distributor.
