Quality
Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Tyres. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Schwalbe Rock Razor SnakeSkin TLE Apex Tyre.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Schwalbe Rock Razor SnakeSkin TLE Apex Tyre is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.
Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Tyres. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.
There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Tyres. Brands like Schwalbe are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.
Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Tyres category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.
Comparing Prices
Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Tyres.
It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

Schwalbe Rock Razor SnakeSkin TLE Apex Tyre Reviews
Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.
There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.
1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.
2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

- Description: Schwalbe Rock Razor SnakeSkin TLE Apex TyreThis Apex-sporting MTB tyre is for riders who need plenty of speed on dry trails, thanks to a low rolling resistance and a light weight to help soar over rough terrain. The central column of the tyre uses fast-rolling, low-profile flat studs to keep a consistent speed. Plus, along the shoulders of the tread profile feature sturdy, sharp angled lugs that bite into the trail when cornering to help maintain speed when approaching fast off-camber corners.Features: Bead:¬†Folding Casing:¬†SnakeSkin, Apex Compound:¬†Addix Speedgrip Pressure:¬†20-45 psi Weight: 850g Technologies: ADDIX Speedgrip: The compound with by far the widest range of use, almost a universal compound. This versatility makes it ideal for Cross Country, All-Mountain and Trail riding. Durability is 62% higher compared to its predecessor PaceStar, with grip up by 35%. Apex:¬†The APEX sidewall is reinforced to provide additional density to the SnakeSkin fabric. These TL Easy tyres are reinforced on the sidewalls by 2 layers of extremely robust motorcycle carcass. This creates an extremely durable, hardwearing and long life tyre that is perfectly suited to very rough Trails. TubelessEasy:¬†The Monofile SnakeSkin fabric on the sidewall makes the tubeless conversion for the MTB extremely easy and safe. It also provides the best-cut protection on the sidewall. Tubeless Technology:¬†Friction between the tyre and tube is now a thing of the past. This crucially reduces the rolling resistance. It is even smaller than with super light competition tyres. With tubeless, you can ride with less air pressure without restrictions to performance! This brings noticeable advantages in comfort, but also significantly more control in critical situations and on poor routes. Tubeless systems provide very high puncture protection. Sudden air loss due to bursting tubes or valves tearing is ruled out. At the same time, a puncture protection fluid seals incisions within a tenth of a second, during the ride.Buy¬†Schwalbe Wheels & Tyres¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
