Schwalbe Hybrid Al Grounder Raceguard Tyre - Black/Ref - 27.5 Inch

The Schwalbe HYBRID Al Grounder is a versatile tyre for touring bikes and E-SUVs. It rolls quickly and quietly on asphalt while also offering grip off-road, on country roads and easy terrain. Well equipped for the daily ride through town and for spontaneous detours on unpaved paths.

With its high volume, the HYBRID Al Grounder offers cushioning and comfort previously only found in MTB tyres. Its robust construction provides reliable puncture protection and makes it very durable. The Al Grounder is excellent for modern e-bikes, SUV e-bikes and can also handle heavier loads.

The robust construction of the Schwalbe HYBRID Al Grounder with reinforced side wall (Double Defense, DD for short) and RaceGuard puncture protection offers high puncture resistance for everyday riding and touring. The Al Grounder also meets the requirements of the ECE-R75-Norm and is approved for S-pedelecs.

The HYBRID Al Grounder comes with our environmentally friendly compound, ADDIX Green. This compound consists of up to 80% recycled and renewable raw materials making it particularly resource-efficient. For example, in ADDIX Green we replace petroleum-based oils with soy bean oil, use silica from rice husk ash and recycled carbon black (rCB) from our own tire recycling. Find out how it works here.
