32 inches: Advantages in practical testing

The Schwalbe LAB sets the pace for innovation in the bike industry. Here we develop, analyze, and test new technologies – always with the aim of setting new standards. Most recently, Schwalbe LAB developed MTB radial tires that have set a completely new benchmark for performance.

One topic currently under intense discussion is 32-inch tires. We have been working with this tire size at Schwalbe LAB for some time, extensively analyzing and field-testing it to objectively evaluate its benefits for as many riders as possible.

Results of our practical tests:

  • Our tests show that 32-inch tires offer significant advantages. In practice, test riders report noticeably more stable handling and an increased sense of safety.
  • On varied, root-covered, and rocky terrain, 32-inch tires provide more grip and allow for higher cornering speeds while also increasing comfort.
  • The naturally higher weight has had virtually no noticeable negative effect on uphill performance in our tests.
  • In addition, our laboratory measurements confirm that 32-inch tires offer measurable advantages in rolling resistance on uneven terrain.
