Goodyear Transit Speed 700x35C Reflex, eBike Rated

Goodyear has been making tires since 1898. The Transit Speed brings that heritage to the urban commuter and eBike rider who wants a fast-rolling tire that does not ask them to choose between speed and protection. Quick off the line, confident in corners, visible at night, and rated for motor-assisted use up to 50 km/h. The daily Vancouver commute tire done properly.

Fast Rolling Centre — Confident Shoulders
A continuous smooth centre line keeps rolling resistance low on pavement — this tire moves efficiently without the drag of an aggressive tread pattern that has no business being on an asphalt bike path. Deep cross-hatched knobs on the shoulders engages under cornering and braking loads, providing grip and confidence when the surface is wet or the corner arrives faster than expected. The combination delivers a stable, fast-rolling tire that handles real commuting conditions rather than just dry pavement.

S3 Shell Puncture Protection — 3mm Aramid Layer
A 3mm aramid-infused sub-tread layer sits between the tread rubber and the casing, providing effective resistance against the glass, thorns, and urban debris that flat standard commuter tires daily. Aramid fibers resist puncture from sharp objects without adding meaningful weight or stiffness to the tire. For a daily commuter eBike where a rear hub motor flat runs $55 in labour before you pay for a tube, puncture protection in the tire is not optional — it is the correct specification.

ECE-R75 eBike Certified — E50
The Transit Speed has achieved a passing rating for eBike use up to 50 km/h and is ECE-R75 approved — the European standard confirming the tire is built for the additional speed, weight, and braking loads of a motor-assisted bicycle. Correct specification for RadCity, Aventon, and most commuter eBike models running 700C wheels. Also fully compatible with standard non-electric bicycles.

5mm Reflective Sidewall Stripe
A full-circumference 5mm reflective stripe on the sidewall is visible to drivers when headlights illuminate the tire from the side. For a commuter riding in Vancouver's dark winter mornings and evenings, sidewall reflectivity is a practical safety feature that costs nothing to maintain and may prevent an incident.

Dynamic Silica4 Compound — Speed and Durability
Goodyear's Dynamic Silica4 compound is formulated for on-road applications with an emphasis on both rolling efficiency and durability — silica-enhanced rubber that rolls quickly and wears slowly. A compound designed for the rider who puts serious kilometres on their commuter tire and does not want to be replacing it every season.
