More comfort is in demand

The racing tire duo - Stelvio Evolution Pack consisting of Stelvio Front and Rear is available in 25 millimetre width for 2006. Maker Schwalbe is leading the trend towards a more comfortable road racing tires.

More and more racing cyclists are opting for wider tires simply because it is easier to ride on large volume tires, for which reason the Stelvio Evolution Pack for next season is also available in 25 millimetre width.

Additionally the risk of puncturing is lower with wider tires and a Race Guard belt protects effectively against penetration punctures. It consists of two carcass layers embedded into a layer of highly elastic, special India rubber, so with the normal three layers of carcass material there is five layers of protection against punctures.

In 2004 Schwalbe became the first makers to introduce front and rear specific racing tires. In so doing Schwalbe co-ordinated the tires for their particular purpose on front and rear wheels: Stelvio Evolution Front offers maximum road-holding and braking grip, while Stelvio Evolution Rear has low rolling resistance.

Wide tires roll better!
Anyone who thinks that wider tires have higher rolling resistance is wrong. Wider tires roll much better and the wider the tire, the lower the rolling resistance. A broad tire flattens more in its width than its length, so it rolls easier. Explanation: The tire deforms less in its circumference, stays “rounder” and therefore rolls easier.

The Stelvio Evolution Pack with Stelvio Front and Rear in the new 25 millimetre size is available at specialised bicycle dealers from 2006. The tires are also available singly.
