Those crowing chunky tires used on mountain bikes do n’t just help plow through rough terrain and absorb seismic disturbance . When under - high-sounding , they also have a much larger step for extra adhesive friction on mismatched surface — but there ’s a tradeoff . When an impact compresses the inner tube-shaped structure too far it can cause what ’s known as snake bite punctures , an all too common problem face by rockers that afresh double - chambered tiremight solve .
As the double valve indicate , the new tire — conjointly grow bySchwalbeand cycle accessary maker Syntace — features a chamber next to the flange which can be pump up to high-pitched pressures , preventing it from squish to the point of puncturing . And it sits next to an outer chamber that can be billow to turn down pressures , so it ’s able to spread out for improved traction and compress better over rocky terrain .
The tire — which is still being perfected and will hopefully be available afterward this year — is an improvement to the tubeless design that ’s often used in off - road wheels . Previous tubeless tire could be inflate to scummy pressures with less of a risk of encroachment punctures , but it also increase the chance of the tyre popping off the rim . Since the higher - pressing inner chamber squeeze the brim with this novel design , that should n’t be a problem here . [ SchwalbeviaGizmagviaBikeRadar ]
