SCHWALBE Tire Rick XC Pro 29 x 2.40 | Super Ground ADDIX Speedgrip TLR | Black
The Rick XC Pro is the new secret weapon in the battle for the podium in the Cross-Country World Cup. Designed for the fastest XC athletes in the world, the tire combines maximum grip and low rolling resistance with improved protection against the dreaded snakebite - thanks to a reinforced transition area between the center and shoulder blocks.
Ever more technically demanding track profiles with fast passages, a higher power density among the riders and wider inner widths of current wheels sparked Schwalbe's ambition to develop a new ace up its sleeve shortly after the 2019 championship. The first prototypes were distributed to various teams and tested extensively in the following season. Schwalbe repeatedly gathered detailed feedback in order to further improve the tire and adapt it perfectly to the requirements of the cross-country elite. The result is a tire with even lower rolling resistance than the Racing Ralph. To achieve this, the tread design has been revised and now combines the best properties of the Racing Ralph and Thunder Burt. The tread depth has been adjusted so that it lies exactly between the two models. Thanks to the pronounced lugs, the Rick XC Pro offers improved cornering grip and more grip than the Thunder Burt. As a result, the Rick XC Pro works on most World Cup tracks in almost all conditions, making it a flexible all-rounder. While the choice of the world's top riders has often been Racing Ralph at the front and Thunder Burt at the rear, it is now: Rick XC Pro at the front and Rick XC Pro at the rear.
Schwalbe PRO
The PRO tires from Schwalbe stand for exceptional performance and were explicitly designed for competition. Extremely fast and very light with good running performance make these tires the first choice for all ambitious athletes.
Schwalbe Super Ground
Super Ground is an innovative tire carcass technology that combines maximum traction with high puncture resistance. The special construction is based on a thin 67-EPI sidewall, whose close-meshed fabric ensures a low weight and a supple structure. This makes the tire particularly flexible and adapts perfectly to different terrain conditions. A robust protective layer from bead to bead reinforces the tire and effectively protects against cuts and punctures without excessively impairing flexibility.
Schwalbe ADDIXX Speedgrip
With ADDIX Speedgrip, Schwalbe has developed a versatile rubber compound that offers a good balance between grip, speed and durability. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, from fast cross-country routes to technical trails. The compound provides excellent grip on a wide variety of surfaces, especially in changing conditions. Despite the focus on stability, the compound impresses with excellent grip and low rolling resistance.
Schwalbe TLR
A new monofilament side fabric offers three advantages over the previous standard: even better cut resistance, increased puncture resistance and, above all, it enables uncomplicated tubeless conversion. The use of sealing fluid is necessary, but the fitting itself is easy. Long conversion processes with intensive shaking and frequent re-inflation are a thing of the past with Schwalbe TLR tires.
