Shredda Rear Evolution Tubeless Radial Tire - 27.5in

This Schwalbe Shredda Rear Evolution Tubeless Radial Tire runs a shallower tread depth than its Front counterpart, but the tradeoff buys a more stable profile with an open, scooping design built specifically for interlocking with soft climbing terrain. That's a deliberate rear-specific choice, since the rear wheel's job on a steep climb is generating braking and propulsion traction, not holding a steering line the way the front does. The same radial carcass technology underpins both tires in the pairing, delivering the confirmed 30 percent larger contact patch, but the tread geometry on top of that carcass is where the two tires genuinely diverge.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The scooping tread shape is doing something specific under power that a standard knob pattern doesn't, grabbing and holding through the pedal stroke instead of just displacing dirt. That's a tread designed around a mechanical understanding of how a rear tire actually loads on a climb."
