Freedom calls the Mako Shark its ultimate urban tyre: hard-wearing, quick rolling, puncture resistant and reflective for riding in traffic.

Highlights

• Tyre profile and tread base built for wear resistance
• Directional slick grooves for low rolling resistance and comfort
• Shoulder blocks for cornering traction
• 5 mm high-elastic rubber puncture layer
• Reflective sidewall strips
• 30 TPI casing, wire bead, suits eBikes

Tread

The Mako Shark's profile and enhanced tread base are designed to resist wear. Directional slick grooves keep it rolling easily and comfortably, and the shoulder blocks give traction when you lean into a corner.

Protection and visibility

A 5 mm layer of high-elastic rubber protects against punctures, and the 30 TPI casing gives good resistance to cuts and abrasion. Reflective strips in the sidewall light up in headlights. Freedom lists it as suitable for eBikes, where low rolling resistance helps battery range and puncture resistance saves a harder tyre change.

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.
