Schwalbe is a brand name of Ralf Bohle GmbH,[1] a German manufacturer[2] of bicycle,[3] scooter and wheelchair tires. Schwalbe produces a wide range of tires for different cycling applications, but is best known for its commuting, touring and utility tires such as the Marathon range.[4][5] Bicycles with small wheel sizes such as 16" (Brompton) or 20" (BMX) are also catered for, a market ignored by some larger manufacturers.

Schwalbe is based in Reichshof-Wehnrath near Cologne, Germany, manufacturing is carried out in its Indonesian factory, which is co-owned, with its Korean joint-venture, production partner, PT Hung-A.
