The Big Apple started off the Balloonbike trend ten years ago. Comfortable cycling without using complicated technology! Air cushion tyres are used as natural suspension. Inflated to around 2 Bar a Balloonbike rolls really easily and with a full suspension effect. A normal tyre with a width of 37 mm must be inflated to a rock-hard 4 bar, in order to roll similarly well.
The extra-wide Big Apple tyre from Schwalbe has been completely revised with built-in air suspension for the ultimate off-road riding experience. Combined with the RaceGuard protection belt now makes it even more suitable for everyday life thanks to its unique Balloonbike comfort.
