Technologies of Schwalbe Road Cruiser Active

Green Compound
A bicycle tire is made up of many different materials. The tread, however, is made entirely of rubber and accounts for around 70 to 80 percent of the tire’s total rubber content. So, it is here in particular that using renewably produced rubber is most appropriate. The rubber is manufactured from natural rubber obtained from renewable rubber trees and from recycled rubber materials, such as rubber gloves and door seals. In addition to saving raw materials, it also saves energy during production. On top of this, the Green Compound also contains no carbon black. Overall, that is quite a significant step towards sustainability.

Kevlar Guard
The well known Kevlar belt has been improved again. The protective layer is stronger and safer. But at the same time they managed to make the material much more elastic. The result is clear: a higher level of protection with a lower rolling resistance. Schwalbe Puncture Protection Level 3.

TwinSkin
Twin Skin tires come with an additional rubber coating on the sidewalls for an increased protection against cuts.

Note on tire size
The tire size is a special size originally designed for French load bikes, tandems and touring bikes, some Raleigh & Schwinn mountain bikes. Therefore, the manufacturer uses 26" on some tyres of this size, but this is the outer diameter compared to standard 27.5" MTB tires. The tire only fits 27.5" rims.
