Whether the Schwalbe Motion Big Apple fits your bike is decided by one number: the bead seat diameter, the second half of an ETRTO size. This tire is made for 9 rim diameters from 203 mm to 622 mm. If your rim matches, the only remaining question is width, and that is a matter of frame and fork clearance rather than of fit.

All 54 listings
54 listings across 18 sizes. Where a size appears more than once, those are genuinely different products — a different casing, colour or claimed weight. The “printed as” column is Schwalbe's own marking for that size, which is what you will find on the sidewall and in most shop listings.
