SCHWALBE Motion Big Apple 16´´ x 2.15 Rigid Urban Tyre
Transform your urban ride with the SCHWALBE Motion Big Apple 16´´ x 2.15 rigid urban tyre, the ultimate upgrade for comfort and performance in the city. As a pioneer of the “Balloonbike” concept, Schwalbe has engineered this tire to act as natural suspension, turning your daily commute into a smooth and enjoyable journey. This tire is the perfect solution for riders of folding bikes, compact bikes, and children´s bikes who demand superior comfort without the complexity of mechanical suspension systems.
The standout benefit of the Big Apple is its ability to provide absolute comfort and absorb every bump. Its large air volume allows it to glide effortlessly over cobblestones, potholes, and curbs that would be jarring on standard tires. This built-in air cushion suspension not only protects your back but also enhances control and stability, giving you more confidence on unpredictable city streets. Despite its generous size, the Big Apple features a modern tread design (HS632) that ensures surprisingly low rolling resistance, allowing you to maintain speed and efficiency on pavement.
Safety is paramount in Urban Cycling, and the Motion Big Apple delivers. It is equipped with a highly visible reflective line on the sidewall (Reflex), significantly increasing your visibility to motorists during dawn, dusk, and nighttime rides. For added peace of mind, the tire incorporates Schwalbe´s proven RaceGuard puncture protection belt—a double layer of nylon fabric that effectively defends against sharp objects and reduces the risk of frustrating flats.
Engineered for modern mobility, this tire is fully certified for E-bikes up to 25 km/h (E-25), making it an excellent choice for electric-assist commuters. The robust Rigid bead construction ensures a secure fit on the rim, while the advanced Addix Green compound provides a fantastic balance of grip, durability, and long service life. This Clincher tire is designed for easy installation on standard rims, making it a straightforward and impactful upgrade for any compatible bike. Experience the difference that superior engineering can make and rediscover the joy of riding in the city with the Schwalbe Motion Big Apple.
