Schwalbe

Thunder Burt TL Ready-29in

The main objective when Schwalbe began designing its Thunder Burt was to combine the best of its Racing Ralph and Furious Fred. So, in true Schwalbe fashion, the goal was met. The resulting tubeless-ready tire is "close on the heels of Racing Ralph regarding grip" and even better than Furious Fred in terms of rolling resistance.

This light and fast tire, coming in at roughly 395 grams, makes it ideal for racing and going fast in dry, hard conditions. The tread pattern Schwalbe used is its PaceStar Triple Compound with a hard center tread that gets progressively softer compounds towards the edge. This provides faster rolling characteristics with excellent cornering traction.

The minimal centerline tread means low rolling resistance, and, with the U-block shoulder tread, it still holds its own in the turns. These tread blocks are angled toward the outside of the tire and work to counteract the lateral forces endured when cornering in order to maintain traction and to keep the bike stable.

The Schwalbe Thunder Burt TL Ready-29in is available in a 2.10-inch width and in the color Black.
