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 tungsten carbide core of each spike is clad in weight-saving aluminium. This ensures the tyre remains agile and sporty.

The Spank SPIKE 35 Vibrocore model has been specially designed with adrenaline junkies and trail-blazers in mind for the ultimate off-road riding experience. Boasting a strong Zirconium doped 7-series alloy construction with a shot-peened and anodised finish, this stunning bar looks as amazing as it performs. Thanks to its stiffer and stronger material, this state-of-the-art riser bar can handle all the knocks and bumps of weaving between the trees. To top it off, it comes fully equipped with the revolutionary Vibrocore injected proprietary foam which dampens the impact of trail vibrations in your hands and arms for a more comfortable and stable ride. By reducing arm fatigue and hand numbness, you can spend more time finding the perfect trail and making the perfect landing. Downhill (DH) and Freeride (FR) ready, the ultra-wide, 820mm Spank SPIKE 35 Vibrocore bar has a big and burly 35mm bar clamp with increased strength and stiffness compared to conventional 35mm alloy bars. It’s also injected with Spank’s proprietary foam called Vibrocore™, which provides outstanding shock and vibration damping. It's weight-optimised and can be cut down to 740mm to suit your preference.
The Spike Pedals from Spank have been specially designed for thrill-seekers who need a glued-on feeling of extreme grip, making pedalling not only effortless but also more powerful with every rotation. Boasting an impressive 12mm thin forged MGR aluminium body which is seriously strong and provides maximum pedalling clearance thanks to the design putting your foot closer to its axle. The axles are made from forged hollow tapered CrMo construction which makes them robust and weight a lot less than other materials, weighing in at only 420g per set. The pedal design features 20 steel pins in a special configuration that offers outstanding grip without adding any more thickness to the overall pedal. The spikes are finished with an aesthetically pleasing and highly practical chamfered leading edges, which deflect rock and tree root strikes to help you maintain control and speed. The oversized industrial sealed bearings and IGUS bushings guarantee smooth performance and outstanding durability.
Genuine high-quality replacement Spank parts. These bearings are also compatible with the rear Spoon wheels (with Spike hubs) that have been produced since 2016.
A handy replacement or upgrade kit for 150x12mm hubs and those already converted to 157x12mm.
The Spank SPIKE 800 Vibrocore bar is the ultimate choice for taking your riding up a notch. It's injected with Spank's special Vibrocore foam which decreases harmful vibrations in your hands and arms so you can increase your enjoyment when tackling harsher terrains for a more comfortable riding experience. Push your riding to the max with a stunning 800mm wide mountain bike (MTB) bar that looks as amazing as it performs and is easy to steer and manoeuvre through the trees.
The Spank SPIKE 800 Race bar has been developed along with some of the World’s top downhill (DH) and Enduro pros and utilised a unique construction of Super-6™ aluminium, Spank’s patented CNC bending, and its Dual-Extreme-Gradual Taper (XGT) technology. Performance Optimised Race Bar The result of this collaboration and advanced construction has meant that the Spank SPIKE 800 Race handlebar is stronger, safer and performance optimised. The Spank Spike 800 Race has an ideal geometry for control and a low weight, making it perfect for aggressive All Mountain (AM), Enduro or Downhill (DH) Racing. Dual XGT (Extreme Gradual Taper) Technology This is a proprietary tube drawing process that tapers the bars from the thickest area at the bar clamping zone, slowly and gradually through the bend zones, to the thinnest areas at the control zones and back to thicker reinforced bar end zones, or “Impact Ends”. Spank has utilized FEA (Finite Element Analysis), laboratory, and rigorous real-world testing to optimise the spread of material to where it is needed to withstand the specific forces at work in each zone while offering better protection against crashes than ever before. The extreme precision enabled by Dual XGT drawing processes also eliminates the need for heavy hand grinding, which can result in imperfections and inconsistency in wall thickness. Impact Ends The Impact Ends reduce the chance of collapse in areas where the wall is thinner and in heavy impacts. These can also be used to support bar ends in the relevant disciplines CNC Bending The precision of 3D CNC Bending in a single fixture allows Spank to optimise their designs further and eliminate the heavy grinding process, making their bars lighter, stronger, and safer! Spank has also taken extra work hardening steps to ensure the stem clamping area of the bar is uniformly cylindrical and true, and as tough as possible Super-6 Aluminium This is a specially blended, highly magnesium-silicon enriched, work-hardened alloy. Super-6 offers the perfect mix of hardness, yield, fatigue life, and a superior ultimate tensile strength to standard 6 series alloys. It is ideal for the creation of thin-walled, super-stiff handlebars. Through the recent adoption of Super-6 materials, Spank’s Spike, Subrosa, and Oozy handlebars are now stronger and show greater resistance to deformation than ever before.
Equipped with a chamfered clamp, the Race 2 uses a four-bolt locking mechanism to maintain a tight and protective hold on your bar, while the steerer-end ensures a positive engagement with your forks. A zero rise-angle keeps your bar level for improved strength and poise. Shotpeen-finished and CNC weight-optimised, this tough stem is ideal for the tenacious all mountain and enduro rider.
