Vee Tire Rail 700x40c Tire - E-Bike, Commuter, Hybrid

This Vee Tire Rail 700x40c is a high-performance tire engineered for speed, agility, and durability. Whether you are commuting on a high-speed e-bike, navigating gravel paths, or pushing the pace on a hybrid, the Rail's specialty center and transition knobs provide exceptionally low rolling resistance while tapered cornering knobs ensure quick maneuverability. It carries Vee's Energetic compound with ECE-R75 European certification, making it legal and safe for e-bikes reaching speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph).
