Hybrid tires for both roads and trails
Our Riverside 500 men’s/women’s hybrid bike has B’Twin Trekking hybrid tires that’ll take you absolutely anywhere, on- or off-road! We recommend inflating your tires to at least 2 bar and no more than 4 bar (see details on the tire’s sidewall). B’Twin Trekking tire dimensions: 700 x 38 (38-622).
Aa word about tire compatibility
This bike can also be fitted with wider tires: - Maximum dimensions with the Riverside fender: 42 mm (1.6”) (ETRTO 42-622) Maximum dimensions without fender: 47 mm (1.8”) (ETRTO 47-622). We also tested wider tires compatible with our hybrid bike, such as the City 9 (44-622) with a mudguard and the Schwalbe Evolution TLE (50-622) without a mudguard. However, since the width can vary, not all 44 and 50 tires are compatible.

The Riverside 500 Hybrid Bike’s versatile pedals have a wide pedalling surface to keep your foot from slipping from the pedal. Your trekking bike also comes with a bell, lights (front/rear) and wheel reflectors.
