Schwalbe Energizer Pro Tyre Review

Schwalbe Energizer Pro Tyre Review - Intro

If you have ever used google product search to look for cheap schwalbe tyres no doubt you have stubled upon these suspiciously cheap marathon cloans with green gaurd for under £10. And wander why are they so cheap. I have.

These tyres are meant to be used on electric bikes (e bikes), and are rated for high speed use. So surely this makes them better quality than standard non e-bike tyres?

Should you risk it for a biscuit? Or are the doubts flooding in.

Schwalbe Energizer - High Quality for Cheap?

Schwalbe Energizer Pro Tyre Review - Size Options

These come in 1.75" for the 26" . . . and thats it. So not much choice there (two widths for 700c).

I opted for these to go with some narrow-ish  mudguards I purchased a few years back. 50mm if you are interested.

Being a bit of a tart I really didn't like the way these tyres looked, too thin.

Schwalbe Energizer Pro Tyre Review - Puncture Resistance

Don't risk a puncture. Now I didn't actually use these for very long, perhaps only 50 miles, but I can say that green guard on my other tyres works very well. No punctures in 2 years. Green guard is a 3mm thick latex insert that site between the tread and the tube, the idea is that is stops things poking through . . and unlike race guard it works.

Schwalbe Energizer Pro Tyre Review - Fitting and In Use

These were a little tight to fit. Maybe I have wide rims which made it tricky.

In use I found the ride a little dead. Like my tyres were under inflated, this set up was much lighter to them tyres which went on next (Schwalbe Big Apples 2.35 - with down hill tubes), yet the bike felt more sprightly despite of it.

I have often thought that my folding bike feels "dead" to ride and have put this down to small wheels. However it might be the green guard.

The tyres are extremely quiet, almost eerily so, I have never ridden on such a quiet tyre.

Grip was good, on a multitude of surfaces, road, tracks, muddy tracks, wet grass. So no complaints there.
