Schwalbe Tires

Schwalbe Tires is a brand name of Ralf Bohle GmbH,^[1] a German manufacturer^[2] of pneumatic tires for bicycles^[3] and wheelchairs. Schwalbe produces a wide range of tires for different cycling applications, but is best known for its commuting, touring and utility tires such as the Marathon range.^[4]^[5] Schwalbe also makes and markets tires for a variety of small wheel sizes, such as used on folding, BMX, children's, and recumbent bicycles, and on bicycle trailers,^[6] a market ignored by some larger manufacturers.^{[citation needed]}

Schwalbe Tires is based in Reichshof-Wehnrath [Wikidata] near Cologne, Germany, as of 2018 through 2021.^[7] Manufacturing is carried out in their Indonesian factory, which is co-owned with its Korean joint-venture, production partner, PT Hung-A, and in its Vietnamese factory.^[8]

Schwalbe Tires sponsors a number of high-profile athletes, including Jonas Deichmann, Fabian Cancellara and Amity Rockwell. The company also sponsors professional cycling teams, for example Canyon–SRAM, Tudor Pro Cycling Team and SEG Racing Academy.^[9]
