Schwalbe Motion Big Apple 29 x 2.15" Reflective Sidewall Bike Tyre

Just in time for the 25th anniversary of the world's first Balloonbike tyre, Schwalbe's Motion Big Apple arrives as a statement piece combining modern design with uncompromising environmental responsibility. Built with Addix Green compound—Schwalbe's most eco-conscious rubber formulation—this tyre features 80% renewable and recycled materials, including 100% recycled carbon black recovered from Schwalbe's own tyre recycling programme. The natural rubber is certified fair-trade, ensuring ethical sourcing from start to finish. The direct successor to the Big Ben, the Motion Big Apple delivers consistent performance without compromise on sustainability. Perfect for riders who demand both quality and conscience.

Positioned between the Big Ben's proven heritage and the Big Apple's future innovations, the Motion Big Apple marks the evolution of Schwalbe's balloon tyre lineage.

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.
