Schwalbe calls the Big Ben the Big Apple's robust brother. It is a high volume balloon tyre that gives great comfort, because all that air at low pressure takes the sting out of kerbs, tram tracks and broken bitumen.
This 26 x 2.15 (55-559) version is black with a reflective stripe and a wire bead. The modern tread is designed for safe handling in city traffic, and the RaceGuard layer adds puncture protection under the tread.
It runs at a low 30 to 55 PSI, which suits cruisers, city bikes, older 26 inch mountain bikes turned commuters, and anyone who would rather float than rattle.
City riders on 26 inch wheels who want plush, confident tyres for everyday riding.
Balloon comfort
Big volume at low pressure smooths out rough streets.
City tread
Modern profile for safe handling in traffic.
Reflective stripe
Better visibility from the side at night.
RaceGuard
Puncture protection layer under the tread.
