Schwalbe is the European bicycle tire authority - built on Marathon-line puncture protection that turned 'flat-less' commuting into a category, with a deep race lineup (Pro One, Magic Mary, Nobby Nic, G-One) used by World Tour, World Cup, and EWS riders.
Every bike tire carries two size numbers on the sidewall: the modern ETRTO (ISO 5775) format like 28-622 - width in millimetres, then bead-seat diameter - and a

Schwalbe
Most popular: 700x35C (37-622) for trekking, 700x32C / 28C for road commuting, 26x1.75 for older hybrids. Heavy (~890 g per 700x35) but virtually flat-less - accept the weight.

Schwalbe
The lighter, faster sibling of the Marathon Plus. 700x35-40C is the trekking sweet spot; 700x28-32C for commuting. Choose this over the Plus when you want livelier handling.

Schwalbe
20x1.5 is the most popular folding-bike size (Brompton-compatible 37-406). Also widely used on 24" hybrids and kid bikes.

Schwalbe
Pick by wheel size: 28x2.35 for full-size cruisers / Dutch bikes, 26x2.0 for older hybrids. Run at 35-45 PSI for the floating-on-air feel; bump to 55 if you carry heavy loads.

Schwalbe
700x28 is the modern road race default; 700x30 / 32 for endurance and rough roads. Pair with a quality tubeless sealant.

Schwalbe
Choose if your wheels are not tubeless-compatible. 700x25c is the classic race size; 700x28 for 25/28mm modern road rims.

Schwalbe
Best as the all-rounder when you want something faster than Marathon and tougher than Pro One. 700x28 is the most popular fitment.

Schwalbe
Built for daily-driver mileage. 700x25 for traditional road bikes; 700x28 for newer wider rims. Heavier than Pro One but virtually flat-proof on glass-strewn city roads.

Schwalbe
Great upgrade from stock OEM rubber on entry-road bikes. Lightest in the budget Schwalbe road range; pairs well with Lugano II Reinforced for the rear.

Schwalbe
29x2.4 Super Trail is the classic enduro front. Step up to Super Gravity (DD-equivalent) or Super Downhill (DH-equivalent) casing for harder hits.

Schwalbe
27.5x2.35 Super Gravity Addix Soft is a long-running enduro favorite. Great as a do-it-all front, OK as a rear in dry conditions.

Schwalbe
29x2.35 Super Trail is the modern trail standard. Good first tubeless tire for a rider moving up from XC; balanced enough to use front and rear.

Schwalbe
26x2.25 fits older 26" hardtails. The wired Performance version saves cost; jump up to the Evo / TLE folding version for tubeless setups.

Schwalbe
29x2.25 Super Race is a UCI XC World Cup mainstay. Use front and rear in dry conditions, or pair with a Wicked Will / Racing Ralph for mixed terrain.

Schwalbe
700x40 (40-622) is the modern gravel default; 700x35 if your frame is tight; 700x45 for rougher terrain. Black/Tan colorway also available.

Schwalbe
Step up from the G-One Allround when you ride more dirt than tarmac. 700x40 for fast gravel; 700x45 / 50 for gnarlier routes.

Schwalbe
27.5x2.8 Super Gravity is the popular Bosch eMTB front. Pair with the Eddy Current Rear (different tread) for the matched setup.

Schwalbe
29x2.25 / 27.5x2.25 are the popular sport-trekking sizes. Choose the Plus / Double Defense version for commuting; standard Performance for sport trail riding.

Schwalbe
27.5x2.6 is the most popular SUV-bike fitment. Long-wearing and quiet on pavement - better choice than knobby MTB tires for mixed road/gravel commuting.

Inner tubes are sized by wheel diameter and a tire-width window, not by an exact match. Read the sidewall of your current tire - you'll see something like "700×

Schwalbe
The default Presta tube for road and hybrid 28"/700c bikes. Group-tube design covers a wide tire-width range - one SKU fits 28-45mm.

Schwalbe
Schrader version of the SV17 - choose this if your rims have the wider Schrader hole. 700x28-45 covers most road / hybrid / trekking bikes.

Schwalbe
27.5" MTB standard. For DH / wider 2.6"+ tires use the heavier Schwalbe Downhill tube instead.

Schwalbe
For narrow 26" tires (1.0-1.5"). For wider 26" MTB tires (1.5"-2.4") use the SV13.

Bike tools don't size to riders, but they do size to the job. A ride-along multi-tool needs to live in a saddle bag or jersey pocket - look for 8-15 functions,

Schwalbe
One bottle does dozens of tire changes. Especially useful for stubborn tubeless setups (Schwalbe Pro One, Magic Mary etc.) where the bead needs help seating.

Schwalbe
The reference set of plastic levers - fits virtually all clincher and tubeless rims. Compact enough for a saddle-bag or jersey pocket.
