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

Schwalbe changed the tread pattern

Sadly, I find it lacking when compared to the original Big Apple 1.

The Schwalbe Big Apple is wonderful. they are large and in charge. relatively light, great traction, great wear, easy mounting fantastic!

I've put this tire on a full suspension 29 mountain-bike, that I'm using for street duty. Low rolling resistance, great shock absorption, extra safety with reflective strip on side-wall.

Great slick-type street tire, no complaints!

I bought these because I was going to use my 29er as a commuter and let me tell you so much easier rolling around. They even worked well on the dirt path a took as look as you don't come in hot around a bend you'll be fine. The tire is fast and smooth on the street and extremely less noisy then my wtb wolverines. Def recommend them to anyone that will be rolling on asphalt

For what this tire is -- an invincible beast of a smooth tire -- this is as good as it gets.

While it definitely doesn't have enough clearance for all but dedicated 29er frames, the Big Apple 29 might be the most comfy and reliable tire made. It's giant. That really can't be overstated. You really don't realize how big 2.35 is until you see a 2.35 tire with no knobbies -- that's all air volume. The result is a tire that doesn't roll super-fast (in fact it rolls like three 23mm road tires side-by-side). Once up to speed, though, this thing just keeps rolling, and the sheer volume makes for enough traction for even some light duty off road use -- even singletrack. Gravel roads are no problem.

If steady and indestructible is your preferred commute method and you can't help but goofing around on some curbs, or even park benches, along the way, this is your tire.

I love these tires. They change the look and feel of my 29er considerably and for the better. I ride urban streets for the most part, and they deliver a great smooth ride. They roll over everything, so much so, that I now call my bike Honey Badger, because, well, Honey Badger just don't give a %$! I took them off road for a tame ride, and they performed decently there, too. They have also proven quite puncture resistant, although you do still have to watch out for goatheads and metal. My ride is now an urban beast!

i threw these on my big new 29er bmx bike. i am a big dude (200 lbs) that does big jumps/drops in the streets, and these big apples are super cushy. i run without brakes and the back tire is holding up well to my shoe skids on 95 degree days. great traction in the street, not the best on dirt (as to be expected). great for cruising and abusing!

I turned my 29r into a commuter. And man does this tire make it all worth the while....great product.

I was looking for a durable, comfortable tire to put on my bike and i found it works great on my fargo
