Who loves ya baby?

The 16" Schwalbe kojak now comes in three guises. As said before, this is the replacement for the Stelvio which was discontinued in 2009.

All share the same ETRO size: 329-349 (or 16 x 1.25 or 16 x 1 1/4 inches)

The standard Schwalbe Kojak - weighing in at 230g with a RRP of: £15.99

The lightweight Schwalbe Kojak - weighing in at 175g with a RRP of: £29.99

and new for 2010 the Brompton lightweight Schwalbe Kojak (shown in the picture) - with reflective side wall - weighing in at 185g (according to our scales) with a RRP of: £27.50

Brompton say "replacing the Stelvio for 2010, the Kojak is the fastest tyre we've ever fitted on the Brompton; lighter and more puncture resistant (thanks to a RaceGuard strip) than its predecessor; a Kevlar bead also allows it to be folded, making it easy to pack as a spare. Finished with reflective sidewalls."
