Schwalbe

Schwalbe is a German brand founded in 1973 in Reichshof by Ralf Bohle. The company has always been involved in the production of bicycle tyres. In 1973 Bohle began to import bicycle tyres into Germany, called Swallow, which were sold directly to him by the Korean company Hung-A. In a short time, the German tyre market became the most important and, for this reason, the name of the brand also changed. Swallow, which in English means swallow, became Schwalbe: the company logo is a stylized swallow. In Korean tradition the swallow is a symbol of good fortune, for Schwalbe it symbolizes the fact that cycling is a wonderful form of movement: fast, carefree, independent, natural and free. From that moment on, the company began to produce innovative quality bike tires that guarantee comfort, high performance and reliability. The success of the brand, which boasts branches and dealers all over the world, is mainly due to two reasons: to be a "tyre fanatics" and to rely only on specialized dealers, from whom the German company demands both qualified advice and a functional and precise service. . For several years now, the company has specialised in tubeless technology, i.e. the tubeless tyre with latex sealant inside. The tubeless system gives a lower rolling resistance, greater grip and higher protection against punctures thanks to the latex which, in case of puncture, immediately seals the hole. Initially, Tubeless technology was only designed for Schwalbe mtb tyres and gravel tyres, but since 2002 it has also been introduced for racing bikes. With the arrival of electric bikes the company started to produce tyres suitable for e-bikes as well, such as the Eddy Current tyres designed for e-mtb, the Energizer Plus tyres suitable for touring and trekking and the E-One tyres perfect for racing e-bikes. From the Schwalbe Marathon, the Magic Mary perfect for Enduro and Downhill, to the extremely versatile Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres for all types of terrain, to the Schwalbe Racing Ralph tyres perfect for Cross Country and many other Schwalbe MTB tyres, the company has never known any setbacks and is now ready to become a leader in the world of e-bike tyres. →SCHWALBE & PRO-M STORE← We at Pro-M Store, as authorized Schwalbe Italia distributors, have a wide range of Schwalbe mtb tires available on our website, such as the Schwalbe Rocket Ron for enduro and gravity, the Schwalbe Rock Razor ideal for Enduro use, the Schwalbe Marathon Plus and accessories and tools for tire prevention and repair.
