URBAN, INDIVIDUAL AND DYNAMIC. The Road Cruiser impresses due to its appealing tread design. The outstanding feature of the Road Cruiser, however, is in the tread and it is called Green Compound. A rubber with polymers only made from renewable and recycled raw materials in such a quality, that we use it for the first time in a conventional bicycle tire.
Green Compound: The most sustainable rubber compound with special technology from Schwalbe. It makes it possible for the first time to manufacture the tread rubber of a bicycle tire, with polymers exclusively from renewable and recycled raw materials, to demanding quality standards (grip / durability).Green Compound is exclusively available for tires with a black tread.
K-Guard: Natural rubber insert reinforced with Kevlar® fibers. A solid puncture protection for tires in the Active Line.

Note about the colour: Schwalbe describes this as “Black/Coffee-Reflex”. What it means is that the tyre is primarily black. The sidewall is a grey-ish colour and has a reflective stripe for added visibility. The ‘green compound’ refers to the tyre structure, not to the external appearance.
