Description The Perfect Free Ride Rubber
The extremely light Billy Bonkers 26" Wirebead Tire not only rolls quickly but is also very playful and agile. At the same time, the Bonkers offers its riders a forgiving landing, even when things in the air don't go exactly as planned.
Its tread design is produced for maximum traction on crushed gravel and hard dirt. The finely divided blocks multiply the gripping edges, while in the middle, small ramps help ease roll-off and make the tire even faster. The result: more airtime.
This edition of the Billy Bonkers bicycle tire is made with Addix Performance, which is a very durable, versatile rubber compound. It is the universal compound for Schwalbe MTB tires in the Performance Line.
Features
K-Guard puncture protection barrier
67 threads per inch resulting in a supple feel

Perfect for 26" dirt jumpers
Wirebead allows for easy installation

Great tires for a commuter
by Anonymous

I put these tires on a 90's 26" MTB that was converted to a commuter, and they're FUN! Low rolling resistance, enough traction on gravel roads, and they're pretty light for a wirebead tire. If you're looking for budget tanwalls for an update on your 26" bike, you can't beat these for the price.

Purchased these for some 90" mountain bikes I was getting back on the road for some friends. When testing them they were fast rolling and surprisingly supple. A great tire for the buck.
