Suitable for use in tubeless wheel and tyre systems, the Rocket Ron truly lives up to its name, as with its tight tread pattern it offers a very low rolling resistance. The tread’s advanced design includes stable shoulder studs so you can maintain grip the corners. Plus, there are still enough gaps between the studs to clear mud efficiently, preventing “spin-outs” when you’re attacking steep climbs. Additional Features: Cleverly designed tread balanced for low rolling resistance whilst remaining grippy Sufficient gaps for amazing self-cleaning properties Stable shoulder studs Recommended Tyre Pressures: 26x2.25”: 1.8-3.7 Bar (26-54 psi); 27.5x2.1”: 2-4 Bar (30-55 psi); 27.5x2.25”: 1.8-3.7 Bar (26-54 psi); 27.5x2.6”: 1.5-3 Bar (20-45 psi); 27.5x2.8”: 1.2-2.6 Bar (17-38 psi); 29x2.1”: 2-4 Bar (30-55 psi); 29x2.25”: 1.8-3.7 Bar (26-54 psi) Weights: 26x2.25”: 585g; 27.5x2.1”: 570g; 27.5x2.25”: 620g; 27.5x2.6”: 785g; 27.5x2.8”: 835g; 29x2.1”: 670g; 29x2.25”: 600g Technologies: ADDIX Speed: The compound for XC race specialists, It catapults Schwalbe's XC tyres into a new performance dimension. It's the answer for those who’d like to go even faster. There’s only one thing that ADDIX Speed really loves and that’s speed. So the rolling resistance has been chopped yet again. ADDIX Speedgrip (27.5x2.25" + 29x2.25" only) ADDIX Speedgrip is the universal compound. It definitely has the widest range of use. Perfect for XC, AM and Trail: for the majority of EVO tyres there’s a version with ADDIX Speedgrip. It replaces the previous PaceStar compound where a significant, though not the only difference, during extensive use is more mileage and longer life. Please note: These versions have a blue line on the tread. Super Ground Combines lightweight and stability. Feels comfortable in any terrain. Balanced ratio of puncture protection and smooth-rolling. For flowing trails, long rides and any terrain. Tubeless Technology: For all ambitious sports cyclists, Tubeless is the right choice. Only Tubeless achieves the best values in terms of more speed, grip, puncture protection and comfort E-25 (E-Bike Ready): Tyres with the recommendation "E-25" are the perfect choice for all pedelecs with pedal assistance up to 25 km / h. The most important criterion for this recommendation: security.
Technologies: Bi Compound The Technology Bi-compound, has two different rubber compounds within the tread area. The rubber compound in the centre of the tread assures the optimal transmission of torque, that traction when pedalling or when braking. These rubber compounds are designed and optimised to increase resistance to wear, but also help braking safely on wet ground. The rubber compound at the shoulder area of the tread brings maximum performance and safety when leaning into a curve or turn giving exceptional levels of grip on dry as well as wet surfaces. Technology Bi-Compound was invented in 1995 and Michelin R&D continues to improve year after year the performance of this rubber compound and proposes them in many road tyres giving the benefit of this technology, for maximum grip and resistance to wear for the demanding cyclist. HD Protection The technology HD Protection consists of textile crossed reinforcements of High Density that ensure the best compromise between excellent puncture resistance and low rolling resistance, without penalising the weight of tyres, especially for competition.
Using competition rubber compounds, sourced from Michelin road bike tyres, the Pilot SX features a tread pattern intended for racing on soft tracks or in autumn/winter conditions. The tyre is tubeless ready (TLR) to reduce weight and improve rolling resistance by around 15 to 25 percent compared to the same tyre running with an inner tube. It comes with a robust three layer 60 TPI casing to resist damage, improve durability and cope with tyre pressures of up to 5 bars. Tubeless Ready Tubeless Ready technology reduces rolling resistance for optimum performance. More Momentum The Michelin Pilot SX has been designed to give more grip in turns, particularly on hard-packed terrain and dirty tarmacs. Technologies: Tubeless Ready: Tubeless Ready tyres can be fitted without an inner tube, provided that a tubeless wheel is used, the maximum pressure is not exceeded, sealant is added and the tyre pressure is checked before each ride.

For All Mountain, Enduro and Downhill Riding This tyre is the answer for All Mountain (AM), Enduro and Downhill (DH) riders who frequently face a vast range of terrain challenges on every ride. This tyre provides confidence-inspiring performance on Loose, Medium, Hard and Wet trail conditions, helping you to get the most speed and safety while doing so out of your ride. Technologies: 3C Maxx Terra Compound: Maxx Terra is an intermediate compound configuration used in select Maxxis mountain bike tyres. It is softer and offers more traction than their 3C Maxx Speed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than its Maxx Grip types. TR (Tubeless Ready) Technology: Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. Their TR tyres use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tyres are the only Maxxis tyres approved for use with liquid sealants. EXO Protection Technology: An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tyres. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the tyre's performance remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.
Its robust construction handles almost any mistreatment thanks to SmartGuard, the most effective puncture protection belt available for bicycle tyres.
Perfect for both training and racing, this tyre is built to handle all the challenges that are associated with riding on rough roads. This makes it a perfect choice of upgrade for riders who want excellent comfort and control. Technologies: Challenge Handmade Clinchers (HCL): Our Handmade Clinchers are made from the same materials and processes as our handmade tubulars but instead of sewing an inner tube inside the casing is wrapped around an aramid bead to form a tire that fits on a clincher rim. The HCL is moulded flat, not in a horseshoe like a TLR or VCL. This shape allows the casing to naturally deform over surface imperfections and minimize rolling resistance. A tubeless tire is moulded in a U-shape to make the sidewalls rigid, so the system does not “burp” or lose air when it deforms after it encounters a surface imperfection. The tubeless tire’s stiff sidewall compromises its ability to equal a supple HCL with a latex inner tube.
Featuring a rear specific tread, this mountain bike tyre is ready for fast and intense downhill racing. Goodyear has equipped it with a Dynamic:Grip3 compound, which uses triple3 density rubber to deliver balanced levels of grip and treadwear. Another benefit is its DH:Wall sidewall protection that uses a butyl layer located within the casing ply to provide the highest level of sidewall defence. This downhill version also has two layers of 60TPI casing fabric for increased protection and sidewall stiffness. Classed as a tyre that is at its best bringing up the rear while sprinting out the start hut of your race run, as you attack those loose off-camber sections, hold the line on rocky chutes and pinballing down rock sections.
