Ralph can race, rock, and roll.

Schwalbe's shop-favorite Racing Ralph tire gets some new nomenclature for 2015, but otherwise, we're happy to report that not much has changed. The LiteSkin name of the tire signifies that this is a non-reinforced tire, saving you a bit of weight over the reinforced SnakeSkin version, while EVO implies that Schwalbe's innovative Evolution carcass is still employed — a good thing for any XC/trail rider.


The real secret to creating the Racing Ralph is Schwalbe's Pacestar Triple rubber compound. Essentially, PaceStar places harder rubber down the center line, making for faster rolling and improved wear life. Meanwhile, the side knobs receive a softer rubber compound, improving cornering traction by increasing flexibility. In essence, you get the speed of a harder compound tire, mated to the cornering grip of a softer tire. This means that you get the benefits of both rubber compounds, without suffering from the drawbacks of either. This is due in part to the soft rubber compound, but also in part to the "U-shaped" tread blocks on the shoulders.


The tire is tubeless-ready, too, however, you are able to run them with tubes if that's your preference. This tubeless compatibility is achieved by enlarging the bead hook, to make seating the tire to a tubeless rim a whole lot easier. And if you've ever ended up covered in tire-sealant after trying to seat a stubborn tire, this will be a welcome improvement.


The Schwalbe Racing Ralph EVO LiteSkin is available in the color Black and in either a 2.10- and 2.25-inch width.
