SCHWALBE Tacky Chan Gravity Pro 29 x 2.50 | SOFT RADIAL TLR | black tires
With the year 2026, Schwalbe is turning its MTB range upside down: design, designation, technology and reducing the portfolio to the essentials was Schwalbe's motivation.
Thanks to the new clarity in the designation, more clarity has been created. Schwalbe-Line or Pro-Line is the first question you will ask yourself. What version do you need, do you need the racing tire (Pro-Line) or the more durable price-performance model (Schwalbe-Line).
The designations for the tire constructions have also been renamed to make them easier to understand. Gravity, Trail and Race are the new names.
Developed in the World Cup for you and your trails!
Schwalbe worked closely with the professionals from the Commencal and Muc-Off racing teams to develop their new high-performance tires. Over the course of two years, this collaboration resulted in the Tacky Chan. With a completely new tread design, the Tacky Chan is the ideal companion for downhill and enduro - the perfect combination of stability and adaptability is key here. Reinforced shoulder lugs, extended braking edges and L-shaped lugs enable higher speed with less weight, greater braking traction and maximum grip, especially when cornering. The open shoulder area provides direct feedback and improves self-cleaning. As usual, this MTB tire has features such as TLR, Snakeskin or pointed puncture protection. Together with the Albert, the Tacky Chan is the successor to the Big Betty.
SOFT
The compound provides a good balance of speed and damping and is perfect for hardcore enduro, gravity and downhill use. Thanks to the improved compound, it can also be used optimally in cold conditions. SOFT replaces the previous Addix Soft.
Gravity PRO
The carcass for the toughest use is the Gravity construction. True to the motto "Twice as much is twice as good!", the double-layered 67EPI ply can cope with the roughest surfaces.
RADIAL
The carcass threads, which run diagonally across the tire at a 45° angle in normal bicycle tires, are arranged at a much more obtuse angle in the radial tire. The technology, which was developed in the Downhill World Cup, turns the MTB world on its head. Primarily, the arrangement ensures that the carcass material overlaps shorter and with less tension. As a result, the tire deforms more selectively and can react much more flexibly and adaptably to bumps without sacrificing the safety factor. With the same air pressure, radial tires offer 30 percent more contact area than conventional tires. The result is more grip, more cushioning and more comfort.
NOTE
Tires with a soft rubber compound offer more grip and roll more smoothly. However, soft tires degrade more quickly and are more susceptible to wear.
