Excellent tyres

- JHB, 4 June, 2025

Bought the widest size (40 mm) and it is clearly more comfortable than the narrowest variant and rolls very smoothly. Fitted them under my trekking bike for long tours with luggage. I know these tyres have less puncture protection but find the smooth ride more important. Perhaps replace them earlier to avoid problems. Many tyres have a statement that they are compatible with an ebike up to 25 km ph. That suggests it's not smart to cycle faster with them. I find that annoying because, for example, you soon reach speeds of over 50 km/h downhill. So are they not compatible with that?

Rolls wonderfully smoothly

Good value for money

- Audrius, 14 October, 2024

Rather easy installation and excellent grip. Only when fitting the 35mm tyre on a 21mm the tyre had a lot of trouble settling into place.

Best value for the price

- Oleksandr, 12 August, 2024

I am using the bike to go to the work, but I like to ride faster. Previous owner set two different tires which were already worn. After replacing with these pair I opened new speed limits for myself. The speed drastically increased. One word about packaging: great I was surprised with the big box from delivery service, when I opened I realised that the tires are not bended they are placed as is in the big box. So no deformation from the start. Thank you for the service and fast delivery!

LIghtweight

Light city bike tire.

- Paul, 20 March, 2023

Not yet ridden a meter, but still a review ... Bought three of them, the tires are just like that, hardly had to use any force. Time will tell what the lifespan is, but I have had good experiences with Schwalbe for both city bike and ATB.

Pros & Cons

Easy assembly
Good sizing
Light

Tyres at a competitive price

- Ruud, 11 July, 2022

Great delivery at a nice price, but if the tyre is turned into an eight and folded in half, Mantel would save a huge amount of cardboard. Now a huge box arrives, while the tyres fit in a quarter box.

Great quality!

- Patrick, 21 January, 2022

I had the same type of tyre on it for 3 years, but after those three years the tread did disappear. Cycled a lot per week to work (40 km per day). So longevity excellent as far as I am concerned!

Prima band als vervanger op een oudere stadsfiets. Makkelijk om te leggen. Slijtage en lekbestendigheid zal nog moeten blijken.

Fine band

- Raoul, 20 July, 2020

This tyre has covered many kilometres under my Giant RS0 for over 5 years. One puncture was caused by riding over the edge of a milled-out stretch of asphalt with a tyre that was too soft. Always inflated to 4.5 -5 bar. Low rolling resistance. Bought my second set yesterday and delivered quickly (well within 24 hours).

Fast delivery
Leakproof
