The
Schwalbe Ice Spiker studded mountain bike tire is one of the fastest rolling studded mountain bike tires on the market. The
27.5" Ice Spiker features
402 studs with an aluminum base and carbide pin. Schwalbe's winter rubber compound maintains grip when using the
Ice Spiker below freezing temperatures.
Ice Spiker Performance line tires feature
Schwalbe''s RaceGuard flat protection to help avoid flats. RaceGuard is a dual layer of nylon mesh that provides flat protection without the heft or stiffness a belted tire has.
Studded tires like the
Schwalbe Ice Spiker do have a break-in period.
Schwalbe recommends that the
Ice Spiker be ridden on asphalt for about 25 miles (40km) while avoiding sudden stops. During this period it is normal to loose some studs and this is not considered a defect or warranty issue. A
stud tool and additional
replacement studs are available.
