Ice Spiker Pro Performance Tubeless Tire - 29in

This Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro tire pairs a tungsten carbide stud core with an aluminum cladding, a construction choice that keeps 402 studs from pushing the tire's weight into territory that kills a bike's feel on anything but flat ice. Double Defense casing adds a second layer of protection against the rock and root sections riders actually cover between the frozen stretches, backed by a RaceGuard puncture layer under the tread. The winter-specific compound stays pliable in cold temperatures where a standard Addix formulation would stiffen up, and the tire runs tubeless, a spec studded tires don't always offer.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The tungsten carbide core is doing the actual work on ice, but the aluminum cladding is what keeps that stud count from turning the tire into a chore to pedal on the dry sections. That balance is the whole reason this tire works as a daily winter tire instead of a one-condition specialty part."
