Schwalbe Hurricane HS 499 – The All-Terrain Allrounder for 27.5" Wheels

The Schwalbe Hurricane HS 499 is a high-performance all-terrain tyre built for riders who demand versatility without compromise. Whether you're commuting on tarmac, carving gravel paths, or exploring light forest trails, the Hurricane delivers low rolling resistance, confident cornering, and outstanding puncture protection — all in one tyre.

With its modern, dynamic tread design and E-Bike Ready 50 certification, the Hurricane is engineered to handle the higher speeds and increased torque loads of e-bikes up to 50 km/h, while remaining equally at home on conventional bikes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What type of riding is the Schwalbe Hurricane HS 499 designed for?

The Hurricane is an all-terrain allrounder optimised for riders who split their time between road, gravel, and light off-road. Its smooth centre tread keeps rolling resistance low on tarmac, while the shoulder knobs provide grip when the surface gets loose. It's ideal for trekking bikes, hardtail MTBs used for commuting or touring, and e-bikes.

Is the Hurricane HS 499 approved for e-bikes?

Yes. The Hurricane carries the E-Bike Ready 50 certification and holds the ECE-R75 type approval, meaning it is legally approved for use on fast e-bikes (S-Pedelecs) travelling up to 50 km/h. For S-Pedelecs requiring insurance and registration, this ECE-R75 certification is mandatory — always verify your local regulations.

What does "Double Defense" puncture protection mean?

Double Defense combines two complementary protection layers: SnakeSkin reinforces the sidewalls against cuts, abrasion, and pinch flats, while GreenGuard — a 3 mm belt of highly elastic special rubber (partly from recycled material) — sits beneath the tread to stop sharp objects penetrating the casing. Together they provide all-round protection without significantly adding weight.

What is SnakeSkin and why does it matter?

SnakeSkin is Schwalbe's Performance Line sidewall reinforcement. It uses a dense, multi-layer fabric weave that resists cuts and abrasion from kerbs, rocks, and trail debris. It also reduces the risk of pinch flats (snake bites) when riding at lower pressures on rough terrain. On the Hurricane, SnakeSkin runs around the full sidewall.

What is GreenGuard and is it eco-friendly?

GreenGuard is Schwalbe's Protection 5 puncture belt — a 3 mm layer of highly elastic special rubber placed under the tread. It is partly made from recycled rubber, making it one of Schwalbe's more sustainable protection technologies. It is highly elastic, so it absorbs impacts without cracking, and provides reliable protection against thorns, glass, and road debris.

What is the correct tyre pressure for the Hurricane HS 499?

The recommended pressure range is 2.0 – 4.5 bar (29 – 65 PSI). Use lower pressures (2.0–2.5 bar) for off-road grip and comfort on gravel or trails, and higher pressures (3.5–4.5 bar) for faster rolling on tarmac. Always stay within the range printed on the tyre sidewall and never exceed the maximum pressure of your rim.

Is this a folding (tubeless-ready) tyre or a wire bead tyre?

The Hurricane HS 499 in this listing is a wire bead (clincher) tyre. It requires a standard inner tube and is not tubeless-ready. Wire bead tyres are heavier than folding tyres but are more affordable and very durable. A folding bead version may be available separately.

Does the Hurricane HS 499 have a reflective strip?

Yes. The tyre features a reflective strip on the sidewall, improving visibility in low-light conditions — an important safety feature for commuters and early-morning or evening riders.

What rim size does this tyre fit?

The Hurricane HS 499 (50-584) fits 27.5" rims (also known as 650B, ETRTO diameter 584 mm). It is not compatible with 26", 29", or 700c rims. Always verify your rim's ETRTO diameter before purchasing.

How does the Hurricane compare to a dedicated road or MTB tyre?

The Hurricane sits between a road tyre and a full MTB tyre. It rolls faster than a knobby MTB tyre on tarmac thanks to its smooth centre strip, but offers more grip and sidewall protection than a slick road tyre. If you ride 70%+ on tarmac, a road tyre will be faster. If you ride 70%+ on trails, a dedicated MTB tyre will grip better. For mixed use, the Hurricane is the optimal compromise.

Is this tyre sold individually?

Yes, this listing is for one (1) tyre. Trade cartons contain 25 units (VE: 25). Inner tube sold separately.
