Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Schwalbe Big Ben Reflex 11100567 Bicycle Tyres 28 x 2.00 Black: High-performance and Reliable Choice for 28-inch Bikes by Jose Cruz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for tarmac on XC mountain bikes

Need a faster tire for my mostly tarmac rides but with a decent width to suit my XC mountain bike. Replaced my stock Maxxis ikon 27.5x2.2 with these 27.5x2.0 on my 2016 Giant Talon 4. One big difference: low noise levels and they roll very well on tarmac. They also do quite well off-road in some grass-collecting waterways when fully inflated. I suspect that once pumped up they can handle some of the easier/flatter mountain bike trails in Florida but will likely drop the Ikons as a precaution/thrill because of that. I would equate them to stocks. Tires on the body of a frame SUV that needs to go off the beaten path from time to time. Highly recommended and at the right price.
