Racing Ray Addix Tire - 29in

The Racing Ray Addix Tire is a new aggressive XC tire from Schwalbe that's specifically designed for the front of your bike. Pair it with the faster-rolling Racing Ralph out back and you've got an XC duo that's ready for the races, or for setting PR's on your local trails. The Racing Ray's tread profile features alternating center lugs paired with stable shoulder lugs that work together to deliver precise steering and predictable traction while transitioning in and out of turns. And with optimal spacing between the lugs, you'll enjoy good mud-shedding capabilities and reliable braking performance.

The sophisticated tread design is combined with Schwalbe's Addix Speedgrip compound that finds the right balance of speed, grip, and durability. Addix Speedgrip uses a slightly softer mix of rubber than the Addix Speed compound found on the Racing Ralph, which leads to a little more grip for the front of your bike where it matters most, as well as slower knob rebound for a more predictable feel in corners. This version of the Racing Ray also comes with the SnakeSkin protection layer, helping the tire resist punctures from rocks and other trail debris. And with Schwalbe's Tubeless Easy technology, these tires seat easily for a headache-free tubeless setup.
