Today we want to look at this bike&#8217;s incredible versatility. To demonstrate, we offer photos of an eTap equipped RedSky wearing a wide range of tires.<\/p>\n<p>With 23c tires, RedSky looks like any road bike. What you will notice, as we step up from 28c, to 32c, 33c, and finally to 30c studded, is that the bike always looks proportional, always looks purpose-built.<\/p>\n<p>RedSky can very literally be your go-to fast, group ride bike, and also your winter time commuter (with 32c tires and fenders). You can ride mixed-terrain on it with an array of file treaded tires, or you can tour on it. It has hidden rack mounts at the dropouts.<\/p>\n<p>We know a lot of our riders are hesitant to move to disc brakes, because they have already invested in quality rim brake wheels. RedSky solves this problem by giving those riders access to the same tires as they might run on a mixed-terrain or cyclocross bike.<\/p>\n<p>Mavic 23c tire<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
