The Freedom Storm pairs a fast-rolling small-block tread with Shark Skin puncture protection, for rides that take you on and off the road.

Highlights

• Fast-rolling small-block tread for sealed roads and dirt
• Shark Skin: a light, high-density nylon breaker against punctures
• Wire bead
• 26 x 2.25 in size

Tread

The Storm's small-block tread is fast rolling, and Freedom pitches it as a good all-round performer for adventures that take you both on and off the road.

Shark Skin puncture protection

Under the tread, Shark Skin uses a high-density nylon breaker. Freedom describes it as lightweight while giving strong protection against punctures from sharp objects.

Compatibility & fit

This tyre is sized 26 x 2.25 in. 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.
