Reviews over the

Schwalbe Racing Ray & Racing Ralph TLE

Schwalbe tyres are very good

Pros & Cons

Good tyre, good grip

Meets my expectations.

Pros & Cons

Many mountain bikers use this combo. Useful to compare yourself then. In other words, no excuses regarding equipment. You get the climb through strength and technique...or not

Pros & Cons

Completely meets my expectations, which is the reason I keep buying it back.

Bought as a complete set. Ordered and delivered next day. This was my first set of tubeled I was going to mount on my existing Scot 940 with tubeles ready rims. Was able to do the fitting using regular bicycle pump and valves with removable internals (MUG OFF). Very satisfied

Good combination for all terrains

Pros & Cons

Deze combinatie van banden bevallen me zeer goed, het monteren viel me niet mee, kan natuurlijk ook aan mijn velgen liggen.

Pros & Cons

Fast combo and still plenty of grip

Pros & Cons

I bought this set as replacements for the "Bontrager XR2 Team Issue" that were on my Trek Pro-Calibre 9.5. They were not tyres per se but I lacked grip in the corners. I had read some stories that these would go hard on the rim, so I ordered a can of Schwalbe Easyfit with them. I didn't need it, the tyres went on the rim fine by hand and are easily "plopped" onto the rim flange with a compressor. The tyres run super light on different surfaces and offer super grip in corners, where the XR2s lost grip these set up nicely in the corner. Tyre pressure for me is always around 1.2 bar. So is it all fantastic? No unfortunately not, the tyres seem to sit well on the rim but still have some kind of stroke despite the rim being measurably straight, hence 4 stars instead of 5.

Pros & Cons

These two tyres work perfectly together. They're fast and efficient on dry or tricky terrain. I'd recommend them for a rolling XCO race. I'm really not disappointed.

Pros & Cons

these tyres really give you a nice feeling! you have super good grip.
