Schwalbe Hurricanes





Bought these tyres 5-6 years ago and have never had a flat riding on road, off road, in summer, and in winter and if you look in the second picture you can see the wear indicator lines running down the centre of tyre which are still deep.

I have a brand new Hurricane in my shop and if you put it side by side with the tyres on my bike you would have trouble telling which tyre was new and which ones had well over 12,000 km on them.

I have used this set of tyres on my mountain bike, touring bike, and cargo bike and love their ride, speed, and versatility as they are a fast tyre on the road and very capable on trails, especially in sand or on hard pack clay or gravel.

The guys at Schwalbe want my tyres to see why they have lasted well beyond their expectations... think the dual compound tread with the much harder centre is really what has given these tyres such a good life.

At 75 psi the contact area is more like a road tyre than an mtb tyre and this contact patch is probably where the tyre is most resistant to punctures... I have ridden through broken glass with these and never flatted.
