Schwalbe MTB lineup that fall into three categories: Active, Performance and Evolution. Active budget line got standard KevlarGuard new protection belt. Performance line gets a new dual tread compound as a standard feature and is designed for the average enthusiast riders. Evolution line remains unchanged as their premium offerings. Rocket Ron is a great all-around tires (our test set now), get along well in both wet and dry conditions. But there are some complaints Schwalbe heard: It's hard to get a bead to seat, and the performance can be improved wet roots. The new Rocket Ron got a 15% reduction in rolling resistance, strong tread blocks with the new V-Groove and new textured sidewalls. The latter is said to make it super easy mounting tubeless and reduce bleeding sealant through the side wall by adding a little more rubber to the outside
The new Rocket Ron, upper and lower, will be available in three sizes mountain bike tires. Features V-Groove is three slit on each tread block. It has the benefit that seems to separate the tread blocks provide more surface area for better grip without lowering the power block. "V" refers to the shape of the gap.
Finely textured side walls also provide a little more protection for the casing 127tip. The tread pattern that is slightly revised, and high block is reduced slightly. Combined, they measured a 15% reduction in rolling resistance. The overall weight remains in the original 5g. It will be available in 26 1.85 TBD (385g), 26 2.1 (435g), 26 2.25 (470g), 27.5 2.25 (TBD), 700 33 (295g cyclocross), 29 2.1 (new, size) and 29 2.25 (525g). All sizes and weights are for evolution, some sizes are also available in the Active and Performance.
Hans Dampf Gravity Super "tough tire downhill, freeride tire light as their" entry is designed for enduro racing. While 1000g "light" tires might not tickle the XC 'fancies, Schwalbe say that about 800g less than a full on DH tires with tubes. For anyone who rises before their broken session, it is a good thing, alfatek and for actual DH bike, it was 1,600 g reduction of the unsprung mass. The Hans Dampf Snakeskin gets all-around rubber-on-kevlar folding production, tubeless-ready carcass. It will be available with their Triple Star compounds (Pace Star, Star and Trail Vert Star).
Hans Dampf super Gravity tread pattern. Red is their standard casing material, yellow is Snakeskin sidewalls. What is new is that it runs in the side wall, around the beads and all the way to the other side. This helps prevent punctures and cuts. Blue is a flexible rubber insert that helps stiffen the sidewall, such as DH tires. Basically, this is the side wall of the double layer with a single footprint body ply, all sandwiched together for a tire that is very difficult. alfatek While things like Megavalanche and enduros are not big in the US, many European racing tires they tend to run DH dealing with jagged rocks and punishing terrain. This tire is designed to provide protection and durability to these things without the weight penalty. Cosmetics, all the tires they get a slightly new font in gray slightly darker so it will not stand out so much. They also will feature a better label on the side wall with a clear, fast and illustrate the benefits of good, the graphics box. For things 650B, this is the size that will be offered at launch: * Hans Dampf - 27.5 x 2.35 (regular Gravity alfatek and Super) (g TBD) * Knobby Nic - 27.5 x 2.35 (g TBD ) * Racing Ralph - 27.5 x 2.25 (530g) * Rocket Ron - 27.5 x 2.25 (g TBD) * Rapid Rob - 27.5 x 2.25 (g TBD)
