Schwalbe

Ice Spiker Pro Studded Tire, 27.5x2.25 EVO LiteSkin

The Schwalbe Ice Spiker studded mountain bike tire is one of the fastest rolling studded mountain bike tires on the market. The 27.5" Ice Spiker features 402 studs with an aluminum base and carbide pin. Schwalbe's winter rubber compound maintains grip when using the Ice Spiker below freezing temperatures.

Ice Spiker Evo LiteSkin tires are Schwalbe''s lightest option when it comes to studded tires. LiteSkin tires have the same tubeless-ready bead as their SnakeSkin counterparts, but without the added flat protection and a thinner sidewall. Ice Spiker tires with the LiteSkin sidewall may require a little bit of additional sealant to seal, but they can be used with or without tubes. Ice Spiker Evo tires average about 265g less weight than the less expensive Performance Line Ice Spiker tires in the same size.

Studded tires like the Schwalbe Ice Spiker do have a break-in period. Schwalbe recommends that the Ice Spiker be ridden on asphalt for about 25 miles (40km) while avoiding sudden stops. During this period it is normal to loose some studs and this is not considered a defect or warranty issue. A stud tool and additional replacement studs are available.
