Schwalbe's Little Joe 20" mountain bike tire is made to provide excellent grip out on the trail, while still rolling fast enough to win the race around the block.
The tires on most kids mountain bikes are either scaled down adult patterns or overbuilt heavy BMX tires.
Schwalbe recognizes that the smaller contact patch of a 20" bike has different needs than that of a 29er and that while BMX tread patterns might be size appropriate for a 20" tire they have super thick double and triple ply sidewalls to hold up to the abuse dirt jumps or the local street park can dish out. The
Little Joe has a 20" specific tread design that is built on
Schwalbe''s ultra light LiteSkin casing and folding bead. The average weight for a
Schwalbe Little Joe 20x2.0" tire is 430g, about 200g lighter than the leading "light weight" BMX tire.
To help prevent flats
Schwalbe includes their K-Guard tread belt flat protection system in the
Little Joe along with a 50EPI casing.
