Schwalbe CX Comp K-Guard Tire: All-Terrain Durability
Built for gravel cyclists and urban commuters seeking reliability, this 700x38mm clincher tire integrates Schwalbe’s K-Guard technology to shield against thorns, glass shards, and punctures—reducing flats by 60% compared to standard tires. The Black SBC compound delivers responsive handling on wet pavement while maintaining low rolling resistance (275W/km) for speed on roads.
Why Choose This Tire?
– Triple-Layer Protection: K-Guard belt + dual-density tread withstands debris-heavy trails without compromising flexibility
– Optimized Width: Wider than standard road tires (38c vs 25-32c) for superior shock absorption on cobblestones or uneven paths
– Wire Bead Compatibility: Fits both traditional rims AND tubeless setups (requires rim tape modification)
