Reviews over the

Schwalbe Racing Ray Addix Speed Super Race TLE

Specification-wise, it is fine tyre and does function properly. It is just a pity that there is a slight manufacturing defect in the tyre. When you are cycling and you look at your tyre, it looks like you have a blow in your wheel. This is irritating, but otherwise the tyre is adequate.

Tested after assembly on the MTB circuit grenspark Kalmthout. Took different surfaces with great confidence, sandy climbs, mud, bowl turns, gravel, the further into the ride, the more eager I was to take them. My old tyres were perhaps very far gone, the Racing brothers, Ralph & Ray, delivered a marked improvement in grip and control.

Pros & Cons

Only drove a few 100km so far but very satisfied. Tip: don't put it on too high pressure, then grip is suddenly much harder to find. Much more noticeable than with 4 other MTB front tyres I tried of different brands.

Pros & Cons

The Racing Ray is a light, fast-rolling tire. A bit unstable in loose sand at times. The width is not quite right. Should be 60mm but is only 56mm on a rim with 30mm internal width.

Pros & Cons

This is a super tire for worse conditions as it gives enough grip and more confidence in turns and you do not sacrifice speed. Tubeless mounting for the first time was done within 5 minutes. Highly recommended. Against expectations, the skinwall looks pretty cool.

Pros & Cons

Tire runs nicely even with little pressure in it

Very nice tyre been riding it for some time on another wheelset pity you didn't have the Racing Ralph I had to order elsewhere

Pros & Cons

Bought this tyre front and rear. Now this appears to be a front tyre. It's a shame Mantel didn't make this clearer. I would have put a racing Ralph or something on the rear. I hadn't educated myself enough to realise that there are special front and rear tyres.

Pros & Cons

be careful not to wait until you hear a plop when tubelessing because then your carbon rim could give way if you put too much pressure on it

Pros & Cons

Good front tyre, runs well and has plenty of grip

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied. Lots of grip! First had the Ralph front but after some research now a new combination with the Ray front and Ralph rear. The skinwall looks great too
