City commuters, touring cyclists, and e-bike/Pedelec riders who demand comfort, longevity, and a reduced environmental impact without sacrificing safety or performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this tire compatible with my e-bike or Pedelec?

Yes. The Schwalbe Big Apple Motion HS 632 is specifically designed for use on bikes and Pedelecs with 20" wheels (406 rim diameter). It handles the additional weight and motor-assisted speeds typical of e-bikes.

What does "sw-Reflex" mean?

"sw-Reflex" means the tire is black (schwarz) and features a built-in reflective strip on the sidewall. This strip is StVZO-compliant (ECE-R88), meaning it satisfies German road traffic regulations for visibility without needing separate reflectors.

What is Addix Green compound?

Addix Green is Schwalbe's most environmentally friendly rubber compound. It incorporates 100% recovered Carbon Black (rCB) from tyre recycling and uses fair-trade natural rubber, significantly reducing the CO₂ footprint of each tire.

What protection level does RaceGuard (RaceG) offer?

RaceGuard is Schwalbe's intermediate puncture protection level — lighter than Marathon Guard but more protective than a basic tire. It adds a durable belt beneath the tread to resist punctures from glass, thorns, and road debris.

What tire pressure should I use?

Schwalbe recommends a pressure range of 2.0–4.5 bar (29–65 PSI) for this tire size. For maximum comfort on rough surfaces, use the lower end of the range. For faster rolling on smooth roads, use higher pressure.

Is this tire tubeless-ready?

No. The HS 632 Big Apple Motion in this specification is a wire-bead clincher tire and requires a standard inner tube. It is not tubeless-compatible.

What are the packed dimensions and weight?

The tire weighs approximately 620 g. When folded for shipping, it measures approx. 51 cm × 51 cm × 6 cm.
