Are you looking for a decent, reliable tyre for your city bike or e-bike without having to go straight for the more expensive options? Then the Schwalbe Motion Road Cruiser is a logical choice. You’ll be using it day in, day out on your bike for your commute or shopping trips, with a smooth-rolling tread and a reflective side strip for riding in the dark.

Green Compound

The tread of this tyre is made from rubber consisting exclusively of renewable and recycled raw materials. This is better for the environment, without compromising on grip or service life.

K-Guard puncture protection

Beneath the tread is a layer of natural rubber reinforced with Kevlar fibres. This traps sharp stones and glass before they pierce your tyre, reducing the likelihood of a puncture.

Fits:

• 28-inch city bikes and e-bikes with a rim size of 622 (ETRTO 37-622, 42-622 or 47-622, depending on your chosen tyre width)
• 26-inch city bikes with a rim size of 559 (ETRTO 47-559)
• Rims compatible with clincher tyres with an inner tube (this tyre is not a tubeless tyre)

Does not fit:

• Hookless rims: this tyre is designed for standard hooked rims
• 27 or 27.5-inch wheels: this tyre is not available in those sizes
• Tubeless fitting without an inner tube: this is not possible with this version

Not sure? Here’s how to check:

• Check the sidewall of your current tyre: it will show both the inch size (e.g. 28x1.60) and the ETRTO size (e.g. 42-622)
• The ETRTO size is the most reliable, as inch sizes such as ‘28 inch’ or ‘700c’ can correspond to several different rim sizes
• Are you unsure between two sizes (for example, 37-622 and 40-622)? Please contact our customer service team or pop into a Superstore; we’ll be happy to measure it for you

Included as standard:

• 1x Schwalbe Motion Road Cruiser tyre, in your chosen size

Not included, but required or useful:

• Inner tube in the matching size: see our city bike inner tubes
• Tyre levers to remove your old tyre: see our tyre levers
• A second tyre, if you’re replacing both the front and rear tyres at the same time: you can order this tyre individually

How to fit your new outer tyre

You can fit this tyre yourself in about 15 minutes using a set of tyre levers and a pump.

1. Deflate the old tyre: press the valve until all the air has escaped.


2. Pry the old tyre off: insert a tyre lever between the tyre and the rim and work the tyre off all the way round.


3. Position the new tyre: start at the valve and work the tyre onto the rim with your hands, using no tools if possible to avoid damaging the inner tube.


4. Fit the inner tube: inflate it slightly so that it retains its shape, place it inside the tyre and pull the remaining sections of the outer tyre over it.


5. Inflate the tyre: to the recommended tyre pressure for your size (see the table under ‘Tips for Use’), and check that the tyre sits evenly on the rim all round.

Are you unsure, or would you rather not do it yourself? Our Mantel workshop will be happy to fit your tyre for you.

The correct tyre pressure depends on your tyre size:

• 26x1.75 (47-559): 3 to 5 bar (45–70 PSI), max. 100 kg
• 28x1.25 (32-622): 4.5 to 6.5 bar (65–95 PSI), max. 80 kg
• 28x1.40 (37-622): 4 to 6 bar (55–85 PSI), max. 90 kg
• 28x1.60 (42-622): 3.5 to 6 bar (50–85 PSI), max. 100 kg
• 28x1.75 (47-622): 3 to 5 bar (45–70 PSI), max. 110 kg

• Check your tyre pressure regularly using a pump with an accurate pressure gauge: too low increases the risk of a puncture, too high compromises comfort
