Schwalbe X-One Bite 33mm Tubeless Cyclocross/Gravel Tires (Pair)
The Schwalbe X-One Now "Bites" the Mud Even Harder!
New X-One Tubeless tire, now with coarser thread for the really muddy days!
Schwalbe Description
THE CROSS SPECIALIST FOR MUD AND GUNGE. The aggressive tread “bites“ firmly into soft terrain on a cyclo-cross track and also on any wintertime, muddy forest road. For this reason the X-One Bite is available exclusively in a Tubeless Easy version for best performance in difficult conditions. The “Bite” offers remarkable performance used as a front tire in combination with X-One Allround or XOne Speed on the rear wheel.
Please note - we can only supply these tires at the time of purchase of a Hunt wheelset. We cannot supply them seperately.
The Experts' View
Tubeless Easy is the special Schwalbe technology for the next evolutionary level of the tubeless tire. In practical terms, this means: A little liquid sealant is necessary, yet extensive conversion processes involving a lot of shaking and frequent re-pumping are not required. Compared to classic tubeless tires, it is far easier to assemble.
MicroSkin: New key technology for Tubeless Easy. MicroSkin is the development which makes the difference compared to previous Tubeless tires. The patented construction consists of a high-tensile micro fabric which is vulcanized together with the rubber compound and the carcass. MicroSkin envelops the entire carcass and facilitates a fault-free Tubeless Easy operation for high pressure tires, not unlike SnakeSkin on an MTB tire.
The new TUBELESS tire is a new experience. With the new PRO ONE, the tubeless tire provides ambitious sportsmen with significant benefits: It is faster, safer and lighter. All of those who have been able to ride with the PRO ONE have been impressed and immediately convinced. This is because the TUBELESS tire with the PRO ONE does not only promise an advantage, the TUBELESS tire with the PRO ONE is also a cycling experience.
Fitting and Sealant
We can fit your tires to your HUNT wheels prior to dispatch - just choose "fitted" option from the dropdown. Valves will be fitted, hand tightened and sealed around the valve base with a small amount of latex sealant. We fill the tires with between 35 and 60ml of tubeless sealant (depending on tire size) and the beads are fully mounted. We then run a small amount of sealant around the beads for quick and long lasting sealing. The tires are inflated to maximum pressure and we then manoeuvre and rotate them to ensure sealant is dispersed well and a good seal all around the tire is achieved. Your wheels and tires are then left for several hours and checked for air leakage. Once everything is sealed correctly we lower the pressures to 50 psi for shipping and off they go. You receive your wheels and tires set up and ready to go for hundreds, if not thousands, of miles of hassle free, low-rolling resistance, puncture-sealing riding.
