Key Features Explained
The shallow, closely spaced tread is specified for drier, less technical routes and light gravel, and is also intended to roll efficiently on roads. Match that stated use to the terrain you ride.
The ProTection layer covers the tread and sidewalls as an added puncture-protection feature, not a guarantee against cuts or punctures. BlackChili identifies the listed rubber compound; no quantified performance figures are provided.
What to Compare Before Buying
- Wheel and frame fit: Confirm that 45-622 (28 x 1.70) matches your wheel and that the tire size is suitable for your bike’s clearance.
- Rim type and pressure: Hookless compatibility does not establish fit or a safe pressure for every rim. Check the exact rim and tire limits and do not exceed the lower applicable maximum.
- Setup choice: For tubeless use, account for sealant; the suggested amount is 30 ml or more per tire. The tire can also be used with an inner tube.
- Terrain and e-bike use: Consider whether the stated tread use suits your routes. The E25 rating is for pedal-assist e-bikes up to 25 km/h.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
Check the exact wheel and rim specifications, including compatibility and pressure limits. If using an inner tube, confirm that it is suitable for the tire size. The product quantity is one tire; check the selected configuration if you also need sealant or a tube.
Before You Decide
Confirm that the 45-622 size fits your bike, verify the rim’s compatibility and pressure limits, and decide whether your setup will use sealant or an inner tube. For pedal-assist use, keep the stated E25 rating in mind.
