Just in time for the 25th anniversary of the world's first Balloonbike tyre, Schwalbe introduces the Motion Big Apple – a tyre that makes a bold statement with contemporary design and uncompromising environmental responsibility. Built as the direct successor to the Big Ben, this tyre combines heritage with innovation, delivering modern performance standards while maintaining Schwalbe's commitment to sustainability. The reflective sidewall enhances visibility on urban rides, making it an ideal choice for commuters and casual cyclists seeking reliability and style.

Positioned in Schwalbe's legendary balloon tyre lineage, the Motion Big Apple bridges the gap between the classic Big Ben and the iconic Big Apple, offering riders the best of both worlds—proven heritage and forward-thinking design.

The environmental friendliness of the tyre:

  • Addix Green: Schwalbe’s most environmentally friendly rubber compound with consistent performance, containing 80% renewable raw materials and recycled materials.
  • Among other things, it uses 100% recycled carbon black (recovered Carbon Black, rCB) from Schwalbe’s tire recycling.
  • Made 100% from fair-trade natural rubber.

Comfort and cushioning
The Schwalbe Motion Big Apple provides a smooth and stable ride by reducing vibrations and uneven surfaces with lower tire pressure. It rolls efficiently on city streets and performs just as well on park and woodland trails. Its generous tire volume offers impressive comfort and shock absorption without relying on advanced suspension systems. The tread pattern features a modern, adaptable design that is echoed in the tire’s sidewall appearance.

Intended use
The Motion Big Apple is built for touring and urban e-bikes, while also being well suited to non-electric trekking and city bicycles. It performs reliably for daily travel, recreational rides, and longer touring adventures. It is also a practical option for children’s and youth bikes, as well as lightweight cargo bikes without motor assistance.
