BalloonBikes
The concept. Balloonbikes have distinctive wide tyres, so they do not need expensive suspension technology.
The pneumatic cushion provided by the tyres acts as natural suspension. In tests conducted by Cologne Sports
University Balloonbikes achieved a similar level of comfort as that of a full-suspension bike. The \"tyre suspension\"
responds very well - an advantage that is much more important in everyday life than long spring travel. Without
complicated technology the bike is light and easy to maintain.
Big Apple
Suspension included. The Big Apple began the Balloonbike trend back in 2001.
Comfortable cycling without the need for expensive technology. At the time it was a revolutionary idea. Today it is a growing trend and there are now a large selection of Balloonbikes with everything designed around the Big Apple.
Big Apple Liteskin
Featherlight Balloonbike comfort. Depending upon size the LiteSkin version is around 200 g lighter than a conventional Big Apple tyre. The weight reduction has been made possible using folding tyre technology and specially lightweight LiteSkin side walls. There is no reduction in puncture protection.
Fat Frank
Made for Cruisers with drop-dead looks. Design concept: Classic scooter tyre and cutting-edge BMX tyre come together – in this innovative form. Technically one hundred percent equal to the Big Apple.
Super Moto
For the beach, dusty trails and of course the road. These are where it’s most at home. It evolved from the comfortable Big Apple city tyre to become a great beach and dirt trail tyre. And because volume is as important as tread for outstanding control, we used the Evo-carcass and Speedgrip Compound to make it super-fast and fun to ride.
