SCHWALBE Johnny Watts 27.5 x 2.80 ADDIX Performance SnakeSkin RaceGuard Double Defense Reflex Tire | 2021

The Johnny Watts is the best choice for e-bike riders.

Details:

• Versatile tread for a wide range of uses from asphalt to terrain
• Lugs with large contact areas for excellent low-vibration rolling properties and long durability
• Consistent and well-behaved cornering on hard surfaces

Performance Line
Excellent quality for intensive use. You can find most tires for the money here.

ADDIX Compound
ADDIX - the new compound for Performance Line tires, more grip, more speed, more mileage.
Schwalbe achieved this with a new mixing process where the components for producing the rubber compound can be added more precisely.

SnakeSkin
The SnakeSkin sidewall fabric provides additional cut-resistant sidewalls and thus increases puncture resistance.

Double Defense
Double Defense technology makes lightweight construction possible while being extremely robust at the same time.

Race Guard
Double-layer fabric under the tread. Ideal puncture protection when a tire needs to be especially fast and light. 2 layers of cross-nylon fabric, 67 EPI casing.

Black Reflex
Practical: the reflective strip on the tire sidewall offers additional safety in road traffic.
