TIRES: Schwalbe Stelvio Light - Dahon Special Edition
Off the shelf Schwalbe Stelvio tires have been independently tested as the fastest 20" tires in the world. We love these tires but we wanted an even better tire so we worked with Schwalbe to develop a Dahon Special Edition tire. The result: the lightest and fastest 20" tires in the world. We specified a custom 120 tpi DualCompound casing: the exceptionally supple casing is astonishingly light and delivers exceptional road feel. The center tread features Schwalbe's Qualifier Compound, a special racing compound that has been optimized for low rolling resistance. The side tread is made from sticky, low-durometer Silica rubber for superior grip while cornering. A RaceGuard Belt provides puncture protection: it consists of two carcass layers, between which is sandwiched an impenetrable rubber compound. The rubber mixture is made from a special rubber that is very flexible and actually reduces rolling resistance. We also specified a custom Kevlar bead to further reduce weight. As an added bonus, Schwalbe specially matched the mango/black casing to our Speed Pro paint.
