Details about the tyres on the Alber Adveture
Dear Mary,
Thanks for the link - I know the material: the very first test drives with the prototypes
Don't worry about the pneumatic tyres – they are even safer than the puncture proof tyres: punctures proof tyres can get off the rims completely when under stress, e.g. on our test bench. Whereas the pneumatic tyres offer much more comfort as they support the effect of the Adventure’s suspension. Please have a look at the cross section:
It is quite difficult to get a puncture – the air won’t leave the tyre all of a sudden and thanks to the 4 layers the tyre can even be driven for a short distance when it is flat. But I am glad that you worry about the safety – your health has to come first! Please have the pressure checked every day.
Please find attached an animation showing how the suspension works – I hope you will like it.
Grüße - Sigrid
