Schwalbe Kojak 16 x 1 1/4 inch / 32-349 wired tyre

Schwalbe Kojak 16 inch tyre

Just like the Brompton Kojak, but cheaper and slightly heavier with a wire bead and reflective Schwalbe and Kojak lettering (instead of a sidewall strip)

The Schwalbe Kojak with wired tyre bead is one of two replacements for the Schwalbe Stelvio tyre which was discontinued by Schwalbe in 2009. The other was a folding Kojak, but this was also discontinued (apart from the Brompton version - slightly confusing)

New for 2011 was a reflective side label (the "Kojak" logo) to give improved side visibility

In 2016 or 2017 the reflective lettering on the sidewall of the tyre changed from white to a subtle dark writing

The Schwalbe Kojak tyre for your Brompton / Mezzo (or other 16" wheel bicycle) is maintained at even higher pressures than other Brompton tyres, these lightweight slicks are the fastest in the Brompton range from Schwalbe.

Their slightly smaller diameter means that gearing is lowered by 2.5% and the narrower tyre width also makes them unsuitable for use with tyre-driven dynamo lighting.

If you are looking to save weight - see the Brompton Kojak folding tyre (with reflective sidewall) or Schwalbe Kojak folding tyre (without reflective sidewall) which weigh approx 175g.

They do not come with a reflective sidewall, so reflectors should to be fitted to the wheels.
