CST 700x38c Tyre | Hybrid Touring Tire | Black 700c x 38c (40-622)

Description

The CST/Raleigh Pioneer (C-763) 700×38c is a versatile hybrid-/touring-bike tyre engineered for both on-road and light off-road use. Its 700c diameter (ETRTO 40-622) and 38 mm width strike a balance between speed and comfort, making it ideal for commuting, urban rides, leisure touring and mixed-surface applications.

Key Features:

• Size: 700 × 38c (40-622)

• Hybrid touring tread: On/off-road friendly design, offering grip on pavement, light gravel and trek paths.

• Durable rubber compound and construction built to withstand commuting and urban terrain.

• Black sidewalls for a clean, understated look that suits modern hybrids and trekking bikes.

• Wire-bead construction  for robustness and longevity.

Usage Instructions:

• Ensure tyre size 700×38c (or 40-622) is compatible with your rim and frame clearance before fitting.

• Inflate to the recommended pressure (typically in the range of ~50-75 psi depending on load and ride feel) as per side-wall markings; adjust according to rider weight & terrain.

• After fitting the tyre: check for even seating on the rim, spin the wheel to ensure no wobble, and inflate gradually until fully seated.

• For mixed-surface use (road/gravel/track), this tyre offers a good all-round compromise; however, for dedicated mountain-style off-road use you might consider a more aggressive tread.

• Inspect regularly for cuts, side-wall damage or embedded debris, especially after off-road sections.

• Suitable for on-road commuting, urban riding, park/trail paths and light gravel paths—but not intended for full-mountain or heavy cyclocross racing use.
