Schwalbe Rock Razor Evo Super Gravity MTB TyreFor the first time, we brought a „real“ semi-slick to the Gravity and Enduro scenes. It's a very interesting option especially on the rear wheel and for very fast, dry trails. There is no better tire for low rolling resistance than Rock Razor.TRIPLE STAR COMPOUND MTB: Our best and most sophisticated compound. Triple compound. Perfectly adapted to the specific purpose.TrailStar - Enduro & Freeride CompoundEasy rolling base layer (base)Grippy center (medium soft)Extra-grippy shoulders (soft)TUBELESS READY: No tubes. Schwalbe Tubeless Ready tires make it possible. With three advantages - weight, puncture protection and low rolling resistance. What you will need: Tubeless wheel60 ml Doc Blue ProfessionalSchwalbe Tubeless Ready tire with special bead shapeAnd a modicum of patience and experience in fittingOf course the tires can be used quite normally with a tube.SUPER GRAVITY: Super Gravity has a new carcass construction at its core. The principle is a familiar one in motorbike tires. We have taken the best features and developed them further for the MTB. For SUPER GRAVITY the sidewalls are made up of four layers of carcass material, but there are only two layers underneath the cap*.The next trick: The whole tire (not just the sidewalls) is encased in SnakeSkin fabric. Weight is negligible - and it helps a lot. In fact, it stabilizes and protects while remaining extremely flexible. At the same time it is ideal for Tubeless Ready application.So Super Gravity means: The tire walls are more robust. The cap is more flexible. The tire is lighter. Or in a single sentence: Downhill ruggedness at Enduro weight.Super Gravity weighed up: When combined with Tubeless Ready riders save an impressive 700 grams in weight in comparison with a conventional downhill tire. Not just somewhere on the frame, but on the rotating mass!Features: Size: ETRTO 60-559 (26 x 2.35 Inch)Type: FoldingCompound: TrailStarExecution: Super Gravity, TL-ReadyColor: BlackSkin: SnakePressure: 1.60 - 3.50 Bar (23 - 50 psi)Maximum load: 115kgEPI: 67Weight: 925g (32oz)Size: ETRTO 60-584 (27.5 x 2.35 Inch)Type: FoldingCompound: TrailStarExecution: Super Gravity, TL-ReadyColor: BlackSkin: SnakePressure: 1.60 - 3.50 Bar (23 - 50 psi)Maximum load: 115kgEPI: 67Weight: 965g (34oz)*The classic downhill tire construction has six layers under the cap. This adds unnecessary weight and unfortunately also makes the cap rigid and hard.Buy Schwalbe Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Schwalbe Rock Razor Addix Super Gravity MTB TyreThe Schwalbe Rock Razor Addix MTB Tyre was designed primarily for use as a rear tyre. Aimed at riders who need a lightning fast tyre for use on very fast and dry trails, it has minimal rolling resistance and little weight.Fast Rolling, Bites into the TrailOn the central column of the tyre it has fast rolling, low profile flat studs to keep rolling speed consistent. Along the edges on the shoulders of the tread profile it has sturdy, sharp angled lugs that bite into the trail when cornering and help to keep your speed up when coming across fast off camber corners unexpectedly.Here is a comparison between the ADDIX compounds that shows how they improve performance in relation to the VertStar, TrailStar and PaceStar Compounds.Features:Compound: ADDIX SoftConstruction: Super Gravity, TL EasyExecution: Enduro, Competition, FunSidewall Protection: SnakeSkinEPI: 67Ideal Terrain: Hard pack, mixBead Type: FoldingTyre Pressure: 1.60 - 3.50 Bar (23 - 50 psi)Weight: 965g (27.5 x 2.35")Technologies: ADDIX Soft: Perfectly suited to All-Mountain and Trail riding in the Enduro and Downhill world of the sport. It has impressively good rolling characteristics and at the same time outstanding damping, both of which are also evident at low temperatures. It’s also ideal for e-MTBs. Super Gravity: The Super Gravity carcass construction comprises of a Quadruple Ply carcass what makes the tyre sidewall stable and safe. The tread remains extremely flexible and grippy with two carcass plies. It also has all around SnakeSkin protection for excellent resistance against cuts and slices. 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. Evo Line: The very best possible, highest-grade materials available, combined with the latest technology to create the highest standard in Schwalbe tyre creation and construction.
