Schwalbe rock razor review. The new schwalbe mountain bike tires in review. No doubt half of you will stop reading as soon as we mention that it was developed from enduro racing but bear with me. Available in 26 inch 650b and 29 inch sizes the 2 35 inch wide rock razor is offered with the trail bike oriented snakeskin casing or the heavier duty super gravity casing found under schwalbe s world cup downhill and enduro world series racers. Low rolling resistance and minimal weight.

Schwalbe s rock razor is an important tire. The schwalbe rock razor we ve previously rated as a best back tyre now rocks schwalbe s new addix compounds. Superb fast rolling rear tyre experience. The rock razor is schwalbe s offering in this category.

The launch of the legendary schwalbe marathon tire in 1983 with its unprecedented mileage was met with great enthusiasm by keen cyclists bicycle dealers and trade journalists. With its massive shoulder knobs the aggressive tread pattern. Magic mary is a favourite amongst gravity riders. Best mountain bike tyres.

There are various rock razors including a sub 700g snakeskin version but the super gravity uses the latest evolution of schwalbe s four ply sidewall two ply under tread gravity carcass. The magic mary with its big beefy knobs is a descendent of the muddy mary but shares some design characteristics right between the muddy mary and dirty dan helping it thrive in loose conditions. Fast flat studs in the tread center good cornering grip with sturdy lugs on the tire shoulders super gravity version. Primarily for the use on the rear wheel.

Schwalbe rock razor tyre review. Addix soft orange punctureproof with apex with extreme lateral stability for a dynamic ride. Used on very fast and dry trails. Less experienced or more cautious riders may feel a lack of braking control with this tire.

One of the best things about. Schwalbe also offer a number of condition specific tires like the dirty dan for muddy terrain and rock razor for extremely dry conditions.
