Balloon Comfort Technology – Smooth Ride Without Suspension

Featuring Schwalbe’s advanced Addix Green compound, this tyre sets new environmental standards in the city and touring segment:
- Contains 80% renewable and recycled materials
- Uses 100% recycled carbon black (rCB) from Schwalbe’s tyre recycling programme
- Made from 100% fair-trade natural rubber
- Maintains consistent grip and long-lasting durability
A responsible choice for eco-conscious cyclists who refuse to compromise on performance.

- City bikes & commuter bikes

Its versatile HS632 tread pattern ensures confident grip on asphalt while remaining capable on light gravel and mixed surfaces.
