Our choice for versatile mtb tyres
If you want to get the most out of your MTB tyres, tyre tread is as important as tyre pressure. The combination of a Schwalbe Racing Ray on the front wheel and a Racing Ralph on the rear wheel is the ultimate combination of 2 different mountain bike tyres. With the Racing Ray front tyre you get enormous grip and with the Racing Ralph rear tyre you get low rolling resistance. The best of both worlds on one mountain bike!

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

  • The Racing Ray and Racing Ralph are the iconic duo for super fast cross-country riders.
  • On the front wheel, the Racing Ray provides excellent steering thanks to its aggressive tread profile.
  • On the rear wheel, the Racing Ralph provides sufficient traction and speed.
  • These tyres feature the brand new Super Ground carcass and are tubeless ready.
  • TLE (TubeLess Easy) technology makes the tyres easy to make tubeless with 60-120ml of latex sealant per tyre.
  • These tyres are less suitable for very wet or muddy conditions.

Terrible service

- Tom 29 July 2026

I’ve always had these tyres. Unfortunately, the rear tyre went flat straight after fitting. I’ve contacted Mantel several times, sending photos and an explanation, but haven’t received a single reply. They’re very difficult to get hold of.

Pros & Cons

Grip
Leaked immediately upon fitting
No response following report of leak
Poor service Mantel

A great tyre for MTBs for

- Rolf 29 July 2026

After my Nobby Nic front tyre, I’ve now got a new Racing Ray – it went down well on the first ride, with good grip, so I feel confident in the woods and dunes

Pros & Cons

Grip
Low rolling resistance
Quiet tyre
A bit more expensive, though

Full adaptability for xc

- Sergio 3 April 2026

I've been using this pack for a long time, one of the best on the market for xc and unbeatable trails. The rear heel degrades a bit quickly. I will continue to buy them for a long time

5 / 5

Price quality for rounds in the Netherlands!

- Cedric 6 March 2026

Fine xc tyres, with deployment potential in the Ardennes too. I chose these because they are a bit more all-round than the semislick options. Efficiency is very good, but can only compare with light trail tyres like the ground control.

Pros & Cons

Also usable in wet conditions
Fast enough
Plenty of grip for the Netherlands
Less fast than the latest rick xc tyres
Old design (not Schwalbe's pro line)
