Schwalbe Hybrid Tyre Guide

Protection
Smartguard
Protection Level 7 – Smartguard offers the highest level of puncture protection. A 5mm thick layer of special Indian rubber sits under the tread offering durable protection against objects penetrating through the tread. The Indian rubber layer is highly elastic for better handling.
Dualguard
Protection Level 6 – Dualguard offers high levels of puncture protection. Two layers, special Indian rubber and nylon fabric sit under the tread to give you durable protection against objects penetrating through the tread. The Indian rubber layer is highly elastic for better handling.
Double Defence Raceguard
Protection Level 6 – combining a double layer of nylon under the tread with snakeskin sidewall protection. This lightweight protection is designed for racing.

Greenguard
Protection Level 5 – Greenguard uses the same Indian Rubber insert under the tread as Smartguard but at 3mm is slightly thinner.
Puncture Guard
Protection Level 5 – Puncture Guard offers the same levels of protection as Greenguard but is more affordable and not as highly elastic.
V-Guard
Protection Level 5 – Using an extremely resistant cut layer, V-Guard tyres offer a high level of puncture resistance.
Raceguard
Protection Level 4 – A double layer of Nylon fabric under the tread offers good protection for light, sporty tyres.
