Schwalbe BIG APPLE, Performance Line, Race Guard, 28×2,15

Description

Air suspension built right in: the Big Apple Wired Tyre by Schwalbe

The Big Apple started the trend towards the Balloonbike in 2001: comfortable biking
without any complex technology! The air cushion of the tyres acts as a natural form of suspension. With approx. 2 bar, a Balloonbike rolls wonderfully easily and with full suspension effect. A normal
tyre with a width of 37 mm has to be inflated hard as nails with 4 bar to roll similarly well.

Guidelines for Replacing E-bike Components:

Before you replace components on your E-bike, please read through the guidelines for component replacement for CE-marked E-bikes/pedelecs with pedal assistance.

E-Bike Ready 25
For normal pedelecs with pedal assistance up to 25 km/h, the law does not prescribe any special tyres. But even with these bikes, loads and average speeds are higher than with normal bikes, so Schwalbe recommends only certain tyres as ” E-Bike ready 25″ (all Marathons, all Energizers, Big Apple, Big Ben, Smart Sam Plus).
