Schwalbe Fat Frank K-Guard Tire 26" Cream Reflex

The Schwalbe Fat Frank K-Guard tire is the perfect option for anyone who wants a durable and reliable city tire for daily use. This active line tire features a tread with a wider surface, which provides greater support surface and increased stability, making it one of the best options for city cycling.

Designed with a rigid tire bead, this tire is suitable for use with inner tubes and ensures that the tire stays securely in place, even on rough terrain. The HS375 profile and 50 TPI thread count offer a comfortable ride, and the twin skin sidewall reduces the risk of punctures and cuts, ensuring that you can ride with confidence.

The Schwalbe Fat Frank K-Guard tire also features reflective stripes, which increases visibility in low light conditions. This tire can withstand a maximum load of 140 Kg, making it suitable for heavier riders. With a weight of only 975 g, this tire is lightweight and easy to handle, making it a great choice for any city cyclist.

The history of Schwalbe dates back to the early 20th century when the Bohle family set up their first company in England's nascent bicycle industry. As early as 1922 they opened a distribution centre for bicycle components in Germany, where they now have their headquarters in Reichshof-Wehnrath. In 1983 they created the Marathon tyre, the first long life and high puncture resistance tyre.

Schwalbe was the pioneer in giving a second life to tyres, launching its recycling initiative in 1993. In this way, they prevent the incineration of millions of tyres and inner tubes, turning the old wheels once again into raw materials such as steel or granulated rubber, which is used to pave athletic tracks or playgrounds.
