Schwalbe Billy Bonkers Tire

While it excels on dirt jumps and pump tracks due to its quick-rolling center tread, the Billy Bonkers is versatile enough for street riding. Its lightweight construction and durable Addix compound handle hard-packed surfaces and pavement transitions well, though it is primarily optimized for off-road agility.

The Addix compound is Schwalbe's high-performance rubber formulation designed to balance grip and durability. On this tire, it provides the necessary traction for aggressive cornering on loose dirt while maintaining a consistent feel that doesn't wear down prematurely during heavy use.

The specific model detailed here is the 26-inch version with a 2.1-inch width. Always double-check your rim size before purchasing, as this tire is designed specifically for 26-inch wheels.

No, this is a clincher tire with a folding bead designed for use with an inner tube. It is not optimized for tubeless setups.

The 26-inch Billy Bonkers weighs 490 grams. This lightweight profile is a key feature, making the bike feel more agile and easier to maneuver during jumps and technical maneuvers.

The maximum pressure for the Billy Bonkers is 80 PSI. However, for dirt jumping and pump track riding, most riders prefer running lower pressures to increase grip and comfort.
