Introducing the Lamplighter, a state-of-the-art E-bike and city performance tire by American Classic. Designed specifically for urban riders, this tire ensures you can conquer the city streets with confidence. The Lamplighter is engineered with the advanced Rubberforce R compound, which strikes an ideal balance between speed, traction, and reliability.

One of the standout features of the Lamplighter tire is its Stage 7 Armor construction. This innovative design utilizes a lightweight Nylon105 belt combined with a robust 3mm thick rubber undertread, providing exceptional puncture protection. As a result, you can ride with peace of mind, knowing that your tires are built to withstand the rigors of city riding.

The progressive tread pattern of the Lamplighter offers remarkable traction on varied pavement and light trail surfaces. The continuous center section is designed to be road-bike-fast, while micro-siping enhances water clearance, improving wet traction and cornering capabilities. This combination ensures a smooth and responsive ride, no matter the conditions.

The Lamplighter tire is available in tube-type construction, which requires the use of an inner tube for optimal performance. This advanced construction method is tailored for speed, comfort, and overall performance, making it an excellent choice for both casual riders and serious commuters.

When it comes to sizing, the Lamplighter adheres to current global standards set by E.T.R.T.O. The available tire widths include 700 x 40c, 750 x 40c, and 650b x 47. Each width is specifically designed to accommodate rims with appropriate internal widths. For instance, the 40mm tires are meant for rims with 23mm internal widths, while the 47 and 50mm variants are designed for 25mm internal width rims. Keep in mind that using narrower or wider rims may alter the overall width of the tire, so it is essential to choose the right combination for your bike setup.

Furthermore, American Classic tires follow the stringent dimensions outlined by E.T.R.T.O. and ISO 5775. These specifications are in place to enhance rider safety by ensuring a functional pairing of tires and rims that both meet these standards. The resulting tighter tolerances lead to a snug fit on rims, which may require some users to adjust their installation processes if they have previously used tires and rims that adhered to older standards.

In conclusion, the American Classic Lamplighter City Bike Tire is a premier choice for urban cyclists who demand performance, durability, and reliability. Whether you are commuting to work or exploring the city on two wheels, this tire is designed to deliver an exceptional riding experience.
