Bontrager's R1 Road Tyre is their entry level road tyre; delivering great performance at an affordable price. The R1's 60 TPI casing means that the R1 is not the lightest of tyres, but does offer good puncture protection.

This is aided by Bontrager's Puncture Plus protection; this belt lies within the tyre walls on the central strip, and helps prevent punctures from glass or stones.

The tread profile on the R1 helps give a low rolling resistance, which is lightly textured to offer cornering grip in all conditions, and uses a wire bead to aid affordability.

Sure, the R1 isn't the best road tyre in the world, but value for money wise, it is an excellent tyre.
