Bicycle tyre Schwalbe ROAD CRUISER 20" — folding bead, 20" wheel, width 4.7 cm, 45–70 psi, max load 75 kg, 545 g

Schwalbe ROAD CRUISER 20" is a folding-bead tyre for 20" wheels with a 4.7 cm tread width and a weight of 545 g. Designed for urban and light road use, the tyre combines an attractive tread pattern with the manufacturer’s Green Compound rubber, made from renewable and recycled raw materials to provide reliable rolling and grip for bicycles with small wheels.

Advantages

The folding bead construction reduces storage volume and simplifies mounting. The tread design offers a balance between low rolling resistance and predictable handling on pavement. The Green Compound rubber improves environmental credentials while maintaining performance comparable to conventional bicycle tyres.

Suitable for

• Urban commuting and city bikes with 20" wheels
• Folding bikes and compact bicycles where storage space is limited
• Light road use on paved surfaces

When it may not be suitable

This tyre is not intended for off-road, heavy touring, or aggressive mountain biking. The design and compound prioritise pavement performance and may wear faster or provide less traction on loose, muddy, or highly uneven terrain.

Key specifications

• Wheel diameter: 20"
• Tyre width: 4.7 cm (approximately 1.75")
• Bead type: Folding
• Weight: 545 g
• Recommended inflation: 45–70 psi (maximum 70 psi)
• Maximum rider load: 75 kg
• Rubber compound: Green Compound (renewable and recycled-based polymers)

How to use

Install the folding bead tyre onto a compatible 20" rim following standard tyre-mounting procedures and ensure the tyre is seated evenly. Inflate to a pressure appropriate for rider weight and riding conditions within the 45–70 psi range, not exceeding 70 psi. Regularly check tyre pressure, inspect for cuts or wear, and maintain recommended pressure to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your bicycle rim and wheel diameter (20").
• Consider the maximum load capacity (75 kg) relative to rider and luggage weight.
• Decide if a folding bead tyre is preferred for storage and transport.
• Check that intended use is primarily on paved surfaces for best results.

Usage recommendations

For everyday urban riding and folding bikes, use within the recommended pressure range and avoid prolonged use on rough or unpaved routes to preserve tread life and performance.
