If you're looking to change the feel or look of your bike, the first thing we recommend trying is a "tire change."

There are many types and appearances, such as knobby tires and colored tires, but this time we will introduce five models that we confidently recommend.

This bike can handle a wide range of activities, from long rides to gravel and bike-packing.

If you're considering replacing your tires, there are some models we highly recommend.

IRC BOKEN Plus 650b x 47c 5,720 yen

This popular tire is known for its excellent grip and ease of tubeless setup.

It's an all-around model that excels on paved roads as well as gravel and forest trails.

Despite being a slick type, its smooth feel makes cornering fearless.

Of course, it's tubeless-ready.

SimWorks THE HOMAGE 650 x 55b 6,820 yen

Instantly recognizable! If you want to change the impression of your bike in an instant, Homage tires are the way to go!

While many tires are black or have tan sidewalls, these are recommended for those who want to stand out.

They are semi-slick and an all-rounder that performs well on both paved roads and gravel.

Please note that these are not tubeless-compatible.

Bruce Gordon Rock'n Road Tire 650b x 48c 8,800 yen

An all-terrain tire by the late, legendary frame builder Bruce Gordon.

It lets you ride anywhere, on or off-road, and simply enjoy the ride.

There are few other tires that evoke such a sense of "freedom."

TERAVAIL RAMPART 650b x 47c 8,800 yen

A standard tire that can be called the basic model for road plus sizes.

This tire is perfect for such road conditions, and we highly recommend it for carefree cycling.

It's also used on the Midnight Special complete bike, and it's a high-scoring model for everyday use.

Even with so many tires available, it's recommended for those who want to go back to basics and enjoy cycling.

The 27.5 x 2.1 width is perfectly fine within the Midnight Special's tire clearance!

Everyone who has tried it says the same thing: "It rides lighter than it looks."

If you find a forest trail while cycling, you'll want to jump right in.
