The balloon-bike trend began in 2001 with the Big Apple, bringing comfortable cycling without complicated technology.
Its wide air cushion acts as natural suspension, helping smooth the ride. At around 2 bar, the tyre rolls easily while providing a full suspension effect; a conventional 37 mm tyre needs around 4 bar to roll similarly.
Features
- Air suspension built-in directly.
- With the Big Apple, the balloon bike trend started ten years ago: comfortable cycling without expensive suspension technology.
- Air-cushion tires are used as natural suspension.
- At about 2 bar, a balloon bike rolls remarkably smoothly and with full suspension effect.
- A normal tire with a width of 37 mm must be pumped up to 4 bar, very hard, to roll comparably well.
