The spikes work best on ice when running at minimum pressure, while at maximum pressure the tyres can be ridden on ice-free roads with minimal road noise. Spikes F&Q's Can it also be ridden on a normal road? Without any problem, but if the road is only rarely covered with snow the resulting tyre noise may prove annoying. And it won't slide out in cornering? No. The spikes 'claw' really well into normal asphalt roads and even fast cornering is not a problem. Aren't spikes illegal? Bike tyre spikes are no problem. Only motor vehicles spikes are prohibited in some countries, because they damage the road. Fast E-bikes are however considered motor vehicles. Do the tyres have to be run in? In order to ensure that spikes are permanently fixed, tyres should be run in for about 25 miles on asphalt, while avoiding any fast acceleration or heavy braking. What is the lifespan of the spikes? All Schwalbe spikes have a core made of extremely hard wearing tungsten carbide, so they can cover a few thousand miles. It is normal for the spike edges to round off and for them to become more deeply embedded.
The spikes work best on ice when running at minimum pressure, while at maximum pressure the tyres can be ridden on ice-free roads with minimal road noise.

One ride in the helmet and it will instantly make sense: the double inmould shell technology does a great job of protecting your head in the event of a collision with a perfect fit provided by ErgoFit Ultra™ adjustment system for both vertical and horizontal changes.

When you're taking on ever harder trails, bigger trail features and progressing with your mountain biking, trust in your equipment is paramount. When it comes to protecting your head this is particularly vital. With iXS's Trigger FF Helmet you can be confident that should you push a bit too far beyond your capabilities you're perfectly protected. Progression will involve some hard falls so don't compromise head protection. Weight? What Weight? The first thing to notice with the Trigger FF is its lack of heft but in no way is the protection compromised. How is this achieved you may ask? Pivotal to this achievement is the patented fully in-moulded unibody construction and internal X-Frame - combined they deliver DH certified protection while keeping weight to a mind-blowingly low 595 grams for the small/medium and just 660 grams for the medium/large. Once on it's a helmet you'll soon forget about, such is its lack of bulk. X-FRAMETM Unique to iXS helmets, X-Frame provides incredible all-round protection where the shell of the helmet is directly connected to the impact-absorbing EPS material. This patented technology sees the faceguard seamlessly connected with the head EPS liner, resulting in enhanced structural strength while allowing iXS to strip away unnecessary weight and bulk plus allowing them to enhance ventilation. iXS Sweat the Details - You Do the Sweating Mountain biking is a demanding sport and getting hot and sweaty is inevitable, but the Trigger FF Helmet doesn't compromise when it comes to keeping you cool. A copious number of vents are strategically placed around the helmet to enhance airflow and when combined with integrated internal channels you'll enjoy sweat-beating air circulation. If you do go beyond the limits of tyre grip and you end up hitting the dirt hard then you can rely on the ErgoFit Ultra system to keep the Trigger FF firmly in place and with its vertical and horizontal adjustment, it gives you an easily customized fit. The Fidlock magnetic closure also makes it easy to get the FF on and off. Lastly, the 2-level visor adjustment allows you to rest goggles and adjust the visor to your preferred position.
This kit is only compatible with IXS' Trigger Goggles. The 45mm strap is ultra-wide with a stabilising design that will help keep the goggles in positioning. The outriggers perfect the fit of the goggles especially when fitting for on a helmet
