The Schwalbe Smart Sam 24 x 1.85 rolls fast on road and grips off it

The Schwalbe Smart Sam Tire is a perennial favorite with excellent all-round properties, built for MTB and youth riders who frequently switch between road and off-road terrain. This 24 x 1.85 clincher uses a modern, distinctive off-road tread with dense center lugs that roll smoothly and quietly with low vibration, while the edged outer blocks bite into loose ground for safety and grip when the trail turns rough. It is the do-everything tire for a 24 inch wheel that has to handle pavement, gravel, and dirt in the same ride.

Puncture protection comes from Schwalbe's K-Guard layer, a natural rubber insert reinforced with Kevlar fibers that shields against the debris of daily riding, and the tire uses Schwalbe's durable SBC compound in the reliable Active Line. A wire bead and long-wearing tread round out a tire designed to last. If you want one dependable, grippy, fast-rolling tire that does it all on a 24 inch bike, the Smart Sam is the proven pick.
