SchwalbeBig Apple 29 Inch Performance Line Tire(Return to Product Page)

A good 29er city tire, but a light racing tire it is not. It weighs more than some of my XC racing mtb tires. Good speed, but not great. That said, it rolls very smooth and very quiet on pavement and, unlike some other 29er pavement style tires I've tried, no self steer. It tracks true. Love the 2.35" width for comfort. Also mounted up very easily on my Fargo 29er.

Potholes are a part of riding in Omaha. I ride on the residential streets to avoid high traffic and in so doing, ride some of the worst streets in Omaha. These tires are so huge on my mt bike that i barely feel the potholes and road hazards are not as hazardous. On my way to work today, I heard something shoot out from under my back wheel. I was certain i would flat out and kept checking on the way to work but never did flat out. they were expensive but compared to the cost of new rims, i think this was a good purchase.

Bike Marin, Alpine Trail 29er.

I'm about 6'3', 200

Running 50 psi

Averaging 75-90 miles a week

Urban ridingcommuting, mostly paved surfaces with moments of grass or hard, dry dirt, regularly getting up to 40-45 mph.

Going from knobby tires, I have gained about 5 mph on my top speed and about 3 mph on my average speed.

Overall ride is super smooth, cracks and small sticks can't even be felt.

Very pleased!

These tire are great. The look good, ride couldn't be any better. I've been using my 29rd around town on it's old MTB tires. From asphalt, up on curbs, down sidewalks...oh I didn't know what I was missing. These tires are perfect for the asphalt jungle and occasional off-road. Put that PSI up there and you're sailing with ease!!!

I slapped a pair of these on my Fanton 29 mountain bike as I do most of my riding on pavement. They are super smooth and roll easy. I have tried them on trials, too, and they perform quite well.

I am very happy with them. Much quieter, too, for stealth riding.

Reflective stripe a plus.

Good-smooth-quiet

Installed on rear norco vlt r2 ebike. Can confirm that is the largest tyre that can fits on the norco, just.

Great on off road for casual ride just moderate tyre pressure inline with surface.

Stable cornering downhill at 55-60kph with higher pressures only. Gets squirrely at low pressures.

The biggest slick I could find with a reputation for puncture protection. This is on my commuter rig (a rigid 29) and is much faster than knobbies on the asphalt and is able to go over the roughest roads here with ease. I've even taken these off-roading, on a local singletrack loop, and these handled better than worn out knobbies do. Slipped on some wet leaves, but they handle dry dirt very well. I'd consider getting these same tires on a single speed roadie, if I can find a frame that can accommodate them.

These tires are of a generally round shape, with a pleaseant choclatey scent, and should not be used as hoola hoops, nose rings, car tires, a flotation device in case of plane crash, or as a clever disguise to rob various banks in your community.

I've got them on my e-bike, which is used to commute to work and back, and they are super cool. Very smooth ride, awesome grip, and chicks totes dig a nice set of tires on an e-bike right!?!?

Would buy again. Yep.

Exactly what I was looking for

... Fast and durable.... Highly recommended

Best tire on the market for road and some light trail riding. I immediately put them on my DB 29er and they are all everyone says they are. I'm 6'3' 260 and they take all the punishment I can give them. New Jersey roads (Or lack there of...) aren't the best and a lesser tire couldn't handle the punishment. I run them with a tube at 55psi and I'm getting good performance numbers out of them. I do about 80 miles a week and I plan on running them through the winter if possible. The reflective side walls are an added bonus as well. NJ isn't the most bike friendly state - Be seen or be taken out! Will definitely purchase these again.

I use these tires on a motorized bike.

Got these tires at a fraction of the price of most other retailers

The tires work great on a 29 inch schwinn revel . Great buy...

Love these tires! BIG Smooth and fast rolling!!

Very smooth riding tire on the Road. Handles great Off Road.

These are amazing. Very quiet, very smooth. Like riding on butter.

Great rolling tire for commuting but be careful on wet roads cornering and crossing railroad tracks. can have very poor traction.

Use these tires both on and off the trails on my 29er. They roll easy on pavement but still work well on fairly rough trails. I love the reflective stripe built in to the tires, too.

I use these on my hardtail mountain bike when riding to work during the week. They are fast and smooth. It's a wide tire so it has a cool look.
