Ride in supreme confidence this winter with Schwalbe's 'Ice Spiker Pro', dubbed the 'turbo' of spike tyres. Engineered with an impressive 361 spikes, this tyre bites firmly into icy roads to provide unrivalled traction and control. Each spike is fitted with a remarkably durable tungsten carbide core, ensuring long-lasting performance throughout the harshest of winter conditions.

Despite its aggressive spike configuration, the Ice Spiker Pro remains impressively lightweight, tipping the scales at a mere 995g. This is achieved via weight-saving aluminium cladding for each spike, enabling a swift and agile ride.

To guarantee permanent spike fixation and optimum performance, it is advised to run these tyres in for about 40km on asphalt, whilst also avoiding any hasty acceleration or heavy braking.

An interesting feature of the Ice Spiker Pro is its versatility; it performs seamlessly on both icy winter roads and standard asphalt surfaces. For those concerned about noise on less frequently snow-covered roads, please be aware that tyre noise may be slightly amplified due to the spike configuration.

Keen cornerers needn't worry; the Ice Spiker Pro tyres 'claw' exceptionally well into normal asphalt roads, allowing for controlled and confident cornering even at high speeds. And despite what you might think, bike tyre spikes are fully legal. It is only motor vehicles spikes that are prohibited in certain regions.

Prized for their durability, all Schwalbe spikes boast a core made of incredibly hard-wearing tungsten carbide, capable of covering several thousand kilometres. Be aware that as the spikes wear, the edges will naturally round off and become more deeply embedded, but this will not compromise their performance.

However, bear in mind the limitations; even with spike tyres, riding in deep snow could be challenging.

Brave the freeze and conquer the icy roads with the Ice Spiker Pro at your wheels' end. Lighter, grippier, faster - the ultimate asset for your winter commute.
