These tyres are used in the harshest conditions. On messenger bikes, on epic travel bikes crossing continents without wearing through and in professional cycling they have to endure tough tests such as Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric reliably protects the casing of the tyre and protects the tyre from the worst conditions. These tyres stand out with their brown sidewalls. The slick natural rubber tread is designed to perform well in wet/wintery conditions. PolyX Breaker Technology: With their PolyX Breaker, Continental bring PKW know-how to the bike tyre arena – Polyester has been used successfully for years in car tyres and been tried and tested many times. The extremely resistant polyester fibre is woven tightly crosswire making a very high fabric density which not only makes the Breaker more resistant to foreign objects but is also resistant to punctures. The rolling resistance is not affected either by the PolyX Breaker.

The Spank SPIKE Race 33 features the unique Oohbah technology, found only on Spank rims and wheels. Traditionally, the central channel of a rim is slightly curved or flat on most rims, but the Spank-specific Oohbah design features a wave-like pattern in the centre. This Oohbah feature in the centre of the rim adds exceptional strength and makes the entire rigid and creates greater lateral stiffness, traits commonly only found on wheels that are much heavier. This structural benefit also allows Spank to make rims that are wider without having to add extra material, which would in turn make them heavier. Technologies: Bead Bite: At an incredible range of pressures, Bead Bite is the solution to keeping your tyres burp free and fixed in place. Bead Bite rim technology enhances tubeless use with tyres of all types and with a greater range of air pressures. Bead Bite rims have 6 rows of tiny ridges that run along the vertical and horizontal faces of the bead seats. These tiny teeth create air seals between the rim and tyre as the bead conforms into them under air pressure. They dramatically increase frictional forces on the tyre bead, reducing the beads’ ability to move vertically or horizontally (thus improving tyre stability and reducing burps). The bead literally becomes trapped between the vertical and horizontal ridges, even at very low air pressures. Even in tubed applications, Bead Bite rims tend to allow much lower air pressures with reduced risk of pinch flats Oohbah: The unique OohBah profile allows Spank to manufacture thinner walled, wider profiled, lighter rims without sacrificing strength or rigidity. Wider rims mean stiffer wheels and more tyre spread, leading to greater traction and improved comfort, and tyre performance. The “wave” shape of the OohBah inner tube adds strength and support to the vertical rim flange walls and prevents buckling. Normal straight or curved tube wells must be much thicker, and by default heavier, to offer the same support ERD ++: In recent years many new standards of nipples have been introduced, and nipple head heights vary. For this reason, Spank communicates ERD without including nipple head height, so the user can add the exact height of the nipples they have chosen for their build, (Inner Diameter of the Rim + 2X Spoke Bed Wall Thickness = ERD ++).

With a purposeful trekking tread. road or off-road, everyday use or bicycle expeditions this versatile tire always does the job.The Schwalbe Marathon Plus tour has been a popular choice for commuters and tourers for many years and now after almost 10 years the tyre has been thoroughly overhauled and as a result it has a new, dynamic profile and boasts many internal improvements. One of the main features that makes this such a popular tyre is the SmartGuard 5 mm thick layer of flexible, special india rubber that offers durable puncture protection. SmartGuard has a crucial advantage especially with objects that lodge in the tread and that can be forced through almost any other protection belt by the rotation of the wheel. Here the SmartGuard has the advantage of thickness, because a thumbtack, for instance, simply remains in the rubber without damaging the tube. SmartGuard does not increase rolling resistance however the Marathon Plus rolls as easily as a tyre without protection. Puncture protection is further enhanced thanks to TwinSkin sidewalls which have an additional rubber coating on the side to protect against cuts and allows for uniform colouring.
Schwalbe Marathon Plus 20" City Tyre - SmartGuardTough enough to even ride straight through any glass that may be on the road, Schwalbe's Marathon Plus model is the perfect choice for your urban bike.
