Review on Enhance Your Ride with Schwalbe Big Ben Tyres: Unparalleled Comfort and Performance by Bernardino Suazo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fat tire for skinny bikes

The extra cushioning you get from Big Ben makes my Bullitt a lot more comfortable. I could have used the Marathon Plus for flat surface protection at beyond category level, but the fairly thick shell and tread band offer almost the same level of protection in a larger size. Add to this a sealant spiked lug chamber and I have a very durable solution to an urban assault. At the moment the grip with this tire is stable on wet or dry roads. The larger 2.4 inch size offers superior carrying capacity as well as comfort. A rim with a wider bore is of course a better fit for such a tyre. Therefore, consider the properties of your rim when choosing a tire.

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • Good overall but...
