What if the secret to a smoother pushchair ride came from the world of performance footwear?
At Silver Cross, our design team took inspiration from the advanced cushioning technology found in trainers to develop to develop our RideTech™ tyres, designed to absorb more impact and make every journey more comfortable.
Now, independent testing has confirmed just how effective that innovation is, with RideTech™ tyres proven to deliver up to 50% more shock absorption than standard rubber and PU tyres. *
The key to comfort
From bustling high streets and uneven pavements to countryside paths and park strolls, every journey should be as smooth as possible for both baby and parent.
That's why Silver Cross developed RideTech™ tyres. Designed to absorb impact from the ground, they help deliver exceptional comfort for little passengers while providing effortless handling for parents.
Currently used on the Silver Cross Cove 2 and Breez pushchairs, RideTech™ tyres are engineered to absorb more of the bumps and vibrations encountered during everyday adventures. The result is a noticeably smoother ride, helping babies stay more comfortable whether they're napping on the go or taking in the world around them.
Independently proven comfort
Just as modern trainers use advanced cushioning technology to absorb impact underfoot, RideTech™ tyres apply similar principles to pushchair design.
Developed in partnership with BASF, the tyres use advanced energy-absorbing materials that help cushion every journey, reducing the impact of uneven terrain while maintaining a responsive feel.
For babies, that means exceptional comfort. For parents, it means lighter, more precise steering and effortless one-hand manoeuvrability. Combined with puncture-proof, never-wear construction, every stroll feels easy, wherever the day takes you.
Innovation that moves with modern families
“At Silver Cross, innovation is about finding new ways to make every family journey as comfortable and enjoyable as possible," says Hamish McPhillips, Head of Category for Wheels and Car Seats at Silver Cross.
“With RideTech™, we've applied performance-led thinking to one of the most important points of contact on a pushchair: its tyres. Inspired by the cushioning technology found in performance trainers, RideTech™ has been engineered to absorb more impact from the ground, helping to create a smoother ride for babies with the responsive handling parents love.”
