Wicked Will Evolution Tubeless Tire - 29in

This Schwalbe Wicked Will Evolution Tubeless Tire pairs a Super Ground casing with Addix SpeedGrip compound, a combination that sits specifically between Schwalbe's ultralight XC race casings and their heavier trail-specific builds rather than defaulting to either extreme. The tread reflects that same middle-ground philosophy: ramped center lugs cut rolling resistance on the straights, a smooth transition zone carries that speed into a corner, and stable shoulder knobs pick up the grip once the trail turns technical or off-camber. Addix SpeedGrip itself is Schwalbe's widest-use compound, tuned to work across cross-country, all-mountain, and trail riding rather than being optimized for one discipline at the expense of the others.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The transition zone between the center tread and the shoulder knobs isn't something I notice as a separate moment, the grip just shows up when I lean the bike over. That kind of seamless handoff is harder to engineer than most riders realize."
