I bought this with not very high hopes and mainly to reduce noise from my training. Very good investment.Keeps your road tire in good condition.Minimised the noise for me, as the road tire has some ridges. This tire is smooth and has reduced the noise by ~ 10dB.The grip is so much better than my standard tire. I no longer need to over-tighten my trainer cylinder to the tire.The only issue is with the nature of the product itself. Meaning that you will either need a second wheel with the proper gears on it to swap when you mount your bicycle to the trainer. Otherwise like me you will have to keep changing tires. Which is less than ideal and kind of beats the "portability" of a snap on trainer.

Got my self a cyclyops super magneto due to it been very quite and great product. But when I hooked up my bike it was very load, made me wonder what the problem was. So I decided to give slicks a go, so I picked these due to the reviews and colour.Have to say what a massive difference now turbo trainer is ultra quite and I can hear is the gears on the bike. I would highly recommended these tyres to us with a turbo trainer:- quite- good quality- durableI have done over 800miles now with them on the turbo trainer with little sign of wear. A must for anyone with a turbo trainer.Only things is as they I thinner than a normal MTB wheel new inner tubes will be needed as normal 26x2.10 are to thick,

Bought this to use with my Whyte Wessex road bike on an Elite Rampa indoor smart trainer. I'd recently switched the road tyres that I normally use (Schwalbe G-One Speed) to a gravel tyre (Schwalbe G-One All Round) but they were just too noisy and were wearing out pretty quickly on the trainer. The Schwalbe Insider tyre is simply much quieter and rolls smoother... and should hopefully last much longer.Downsides? You'll need a lot of levers and tough thumbs because this tyre was really quite challenging to get on the rim compared to Schwalbe's TLE tyres. It also shredded excess blue rubber all over the floor with the first couple of uses which was a bit worrying... but that seems to have settled down now.Other than that,

Previously used a hybrid low profile tyre on my turbo, noise levels were comparable to a washing machine on full spin. After the upgrade the tyre runs practically silent and the loudest noise is the sound of the chain/cranks. With the new tyre it is possible to watch the tv or listen to music at a medium volume without any issues.As someone has already said make sure you get yourself a 26" x 1.25-1.5" inner tube. I managed to squeeze a 1.75" tube in however the ride was very lumpy and uncomfortable/annoying. With a bigger tube there is insufficient room for the inner tube to inflate evenly.My only criticism is cost, for the same price you can get a good pair of conventional tyres.]Durability?

well it definately is BLUE and that is good as you can't accidentally use it on the road.I used to use an old tyre instead. However this one gives more friction and, surprisingly, does what the manufacturer says...reduces noise.I have no problem with slip on the trainer.The only issue i had was a flat. that may have been because i used an old (reapired) tube. Or because i inflated to 125/130 (cold winter outside use). Really you are meant to slightly underinflate by 10psi or more to allow for them to heat up and increase pressure when in use.I think as well the tubes tend to get caught under the tyre when repalcing...so watch out for that and inflate properly and carefully.

I normally run a road bike in the turbo after fitting a turbo tyre, but this year with the weather being milder I've run the road bike more, so I looked around for a turbo tyre for the mountain bike as its sitting around doing nothing, I've used a standard road slick before but they just get chewed up quickly.The Schwalbe was best priced with Amazon and they live up to the Schwalbe name, excellent quality, easy to fit and after 600+ turbo miles its still in great shape, highly recommended.

A bit of a tight fit to start with, and being a folded tyre took a bit of working to get it to shape on my rim, but performs perfectly. Have been using it regularly with my turbo and training dvds and whether seated or standing going flat out there has been little slip on the roller and no obvious wear on the tyre or rubber left behind on the roller. Being bright blue also means I don't confuse which wheel I have on my bike before going outside. Well worth it for the price.

I bought this for use on my Tacx Satori. Reason for purchase was because the turbo trainer was wearing out my rear tyre at an alarming rate. The tyre was easy to fit, I put it on my 622 x 15C rim with no problems. I definitely noticed a difference in noise levels after using this turbo trainer specific tyre. Much quieter and also less prone to slipping. Only had for 2 weeks so no long term discoveries, but good so far and I am pleased with the purchase.

I've been running a Tacx Flow trainer for a while with an old, rigid mountain bike with road tyres. Changing to this tyre has totally eliminated any slipping when applying power and the roll is much smoother. I found it slightly difficult to fit to the rim, though some of that was due to the larger inner tube that I had for the original tyres, I must change it to a proper size one day!Definitely recommended and half the price of a Tacx version.

My first purchase of these kind of tyres and it seems really robust and should last a few miles on the turbo trainer. As its supplied flat it was a little difficult to fit at first but I got there, its seems quiet on the trainer and although just fitted yesterday I'm pretty happy with my purchase thus far, would I recommend, yes on first impressions I would, thank you.This was fitted to my hybrid k

This is the first time I'd bought a trainer tyre so was a little confused as to which size to buy for my 29er Mountain Bike, I needn't have worried as this one fit perfectly and works a treat. I've only used the tyre for maybe 25 hours or so since purchased but it still looks and feels brand new. If / when it finally wears out will definitely purchase again and would highly recommend.

I used a normal road tyre but it eventually gave up on me. I took a gamble on this tyre but was sceptical regarding the claim of reduced noise. Well, time to eat humble pie. I was amazed at the difference. I only rode for 30mins on my trainer yesterday but what a difference. Almost no noise at all, tyre performed well and was not warm after 30mins of constant use. Impressed? Yes :-)

The blurb claims this tyre reduces noise and it certainly does and does so to an appreciable extent.The blue colour looks good and imparts the impression of a specialised piece of kit.I have seen a review that states that the tyre can be difficult to fit. For me with no particular skills it was easy.This tyre met with my hopes and after 2 months use I am still pleased I chose it.

I have only used this once as the weather is still ok for cycling. So far so good. The tyre went on fine and is not showing the excessive early wear that my "normal tyre" ehibited last winter. So 4 stars at the moment with a view to 5 star if it stays this good for the rest of the season.

Fitted to a spare Raleigh cycle which normally takes a 38cm tyre in order for it to be used on the Elite Novo turbo force trainer. The whole combination of Elite trainer; Elite training mat and this training tyre makes for a very quiet exercise workout.
