Alongside the introduction of the new families, Schwalbe also presents the placement of tires within the existing structure (see chart on the next page). This includes the new additions: MARATHON Almotion, MOTION Kojak, MOTION Landcruiser (Plus), and HYBRID Johnny Watts.
Product Overview
MARATHON ALMOTION
MARATHON ALMOTION
Schwalbe's new benchmark for touring and trekking. With the new MARATHON Almotion, Schwalbe has taken its benchmark in the touring tire segment to the next level.
Maximum performance.
Minimum compromise.
With the new MARATHON Almotion, Schwalbe has taken its benchmark in the touring tire segment to the next level. The sporty member of the MARATHON family combines low weight, high mileage, and the latest technology for demanding touring and bikepacking riders. The tire is designed as a versatile, ultra-lightweight companion for long distances and is also available as a PRO version. The completely newly developed tread with a modern closed center profile ensures a smooth ride and a long service life. The grippy outer blocks provide traction in wet conditions and high functionality — especially off paved roads.
MOTION KOJAK
MOTION KOJAK
The Schwalbe Motion Kojak is a fast, sporty tire for modern urban bikes. Its contemporary tread design not only rolls exceptionally smoothly but also delivers very good grip.
Built for the city.
Designed to stand out.
The MOTION Kojak is a fast, sporty tire for modern urban bikes. Its continuous tread design shapes both the contact surface and the sidewalls. The scale-like structure underlines the urban character of the tire. This gives the MOTION Kojak reliable grip when accelerating, stable handling in corners, and low rolling resistance. It is fully approved for e-bikes up to 25 km/h and is suitable for both modern light assist e-bikes and classic city bikes.
Schwalbe's development team uses ADDIX Green rubber compound for the MOTION Kojak. It stands for durability and performance of both the tread and sidewall. ADDIX Green is Schwalbe's most eco-friendly rubber compound — including recycled carbon black from Schwalbe's own tire recycling process. The integrated RaceGuard puncture protection belt effectively guards against punctures and cuts, without noticeably increasing the weight of the tire. This makes the MOTION Kojak a tough companion for daily use in urban traffic.
MOTION LANDCRUISER (PLUS)
MOTION Landcruiser (Plus)
The Schwalbe MOTION Land Cruiser is our tire for trekking bikes and all-terrain bikes. Its new, modern tread makes it the perfect companion for on- and off-road adventures: it rolls pleasantly smooth on asphalt and handles any dirt track or forest path with ease.
One tire. Every route.
The MOTION Land Cruiser is Schwalbe's tire for
trekking bikes and all-terrain bikes. Its modern
tread makes it a reliable companion on paved
and unpaved surfaces alike: the tight center profile
reduces rolling resistance on asphalt, while the more
widely spaced side knobs deliver secure grip off-road
and in corners away from paved roads.
The MOTION Land Cruiser comes with basic puncture protection
and is fully approved for e-bikes
up to 25 km/h.
For the tread compound, the MOTION Land Cruiser uses Schwalbe's Green Compound. It is made from renewable and recycled raw materials and combines longevity with low rolling resistance and a stable ride feel.
The Plus variant offers enhanced puncture protection through rubberized sidewalls and a three-millimeter puncture protection insert. A reflective side strip improves visibility in traffic.
MOTION Land Cruiser
Available also in a reliable and value oriented version, The MOTION Land Cruiser, trades the 3mm Plus puncture guard for a K-Guard strip under the tread.
HYBRID JOHNNY WATTS
HYBRID JOHNNY WATTS
The HYBRID Johnny Watts is the first tire for SUV e-bikes featuring our innovative radial carcass. It's practically prepared for anything: in everyday city use, it's the go-getter that gets you safely to your destination. On off-road excursions, it sparks a sense of adventure and lets you discover new terrain.
One ride. Any surface.
With the Hybrid Johnny Watts, Schwalbe brings its radial tire technology to the SUV e-bike segment. The tire effortlessly masters the balance between urban everyday use and excursions off paved roads. In city traffic it delivers reliability and safety, off-road it sparks a sense of adventure — always with the right balance of comfort and grip.
Radial tire construction from the Schwalbe LAB
The HYBRID Johnny Watts brings Schwalbe's innovative radial tire technology from mountain biking to everyday riders. Originally developed for sporty mountain bike use, the radial carcass delivers up to 30% more contact area and enables significantly better adaptation of the tire to the surface.
HYBRID Johnny Watts Plus for extra puncture protection
For a completely worry-free ride, there is the HYBRID Johnny Watts Plus. It features all-round tire protection, including the further enhanced GreenGuard puncture protection layer. HYBRID is one of three TOUR families at Schwalbe (alongside MARATHON and MOTION). HYBRID tires deliver on both paved roads and unpaved trails.
