Reviews over the

Schwalbe Racing Ray & Racing Ralph TLE

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

my favourite MTB tyres

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

Exactly what I was looking for, attractive price and fast delivery. Nickel

I always order from the MANTEL site: fast service, very good prices. I use this type of tyre on a 29" tubeless CUBE VAE bike. Normally the original tyre is a 2.60 but I prefer the 2.35. Schwalbe has been my favourite brand for years and the Ray and Ralph racing tyres are perfect for me.

Prima banden voor zowel droog als nat bosbad . Voorband houd grip in bochten en bladeren is ook geen probleem.

Pros & Cons

A very good compromise between price and quality.

To replace the Maxxis rekon race tyres, which have less grip, especially in slippery corners or on loose gravel, I long considered buying this Schwalbe combination. But what a difference, the tyre sticks in the corners and has super grip. No more slipping. Obv Mantel's choice of these tyres, I am glad I bought them.

Pros & Cons

Tyres are good and give good geip

Pros & Cons

Super nice tyres. I ride tubeless with them and I really like it. Technical trails on the mtb course in Bergschenhoek. Pressure at 1.75 bar and go with it. Traction and speed are very good compared to the old tyres.

Pros & Cons

The difference is obvious, much more traction from the front at the back the mud no longer sticks in. Personally, I would always put the same type of tyres but the combination of two different type of tyres offered by Mantel is recommended to everyone.

Pros & Cons

These tyres roll extremely lightly, without compromising on traction. Thanks to the firm cheeks, you can ride at low pressure without the tyres swaying on the rim when cornering. On my Duke rims they are very tight, and that makes a huge difference.

Pros & Cons

As always exceptional service

Excellent grip on different surfaces

Pros & Cons

Already third set in this combo, meets all expectations, both in summer dry conditions and in the post- and spring wetter periods. Even on rocky courses, they remain puncture-resistant with the doc blue

Pros & Cons

I have been driving it for years. Durability is fine. With some extra pressure, I keep up with the gravelers.

Pros & Cons

Second set fitted after the first set deteriorated after prolonged use. Easy to tubeless, light-running set with good grip in dry conditions. Only when it gets really wet and muddy a little less

Pros & Cons

Cross-country marathon use on a wide variety of terrains. Recently fitted, but already used in dry, rolling and muddy conditions. Very good breaking in

Excellent experience, order received in a few days by parcel post. Easy to fit tubeless tyres.

It meets my expectations perfectly. What a gain in efficiency since I fitted these tyres!

Been driving this combi for years on mainly the Uhr have tried andsre combos but for now stick to this one

Pros & Cons

These tyres are just fine. I have been using schwalbe tyres for 22dkm (24months) and they are due for replacement. I use them with inner tubes and this goes fine. So far I have had three punctures in 22dkm.

Pros & Cons

Meets all expectations.

Pros & Cons

Super tyre set from Schwalbe

Simple, efficace

Pros & Cons

delivered quickly and easy to get on the rim. tyres are top notch and fast and have good grip. nice set for a price together

Pros & Cons

Good feeling in the tyres

Did the cool winter tour in Hellendoorn yesterday with mn new tyres; while the Hellendoorn hills and mountains were covered with thin layer of snow and ice.....reated fine on paved surfaces and tread offered surprisingly good grip; cycled with confidence on the track....

Pros & Cons

Good grip even on wet, muddy surfaces

Pros & Cons

I already had the combi on my hardtrail and now put it on my full suspension direct to replace the original Maxxis Minion DHF MaxxTerra/EXO, Tubeless Ready, 2.5/2.4 WT. Much better handling on Dutch (single) tracks and plenty of grip. Rolling resistance significantly lower than the Maxxis Minions, ensuring higher trail speed and less energy delivery in the legs.

Pros & Cons

With 2bar in the tyres even super grip in mud and heavier winter conditions.

Pros & Cons

Good tyres at a good price, recommended

The Ray is also really 2.25 wide and rolls great. With TLE, the tyre is also really tight. In my case, the tyre doesn't even need milk, it sits so well on the rim and is tight. I was also pleasantly surprised by the fact that the tyre weighs 20 grams less than the manufacturer's specification. Visually, the tyre also cuts a fine figure!

Tyres give great grip and last a long time!

Pros & Cons

Top set !

Pros & Cons

Great tyres for all conditions

Pros & Cons

Coming from Vittoria Barzo, the set here is more rolling on dry ground, to be tested on wet ground.

Excellent quality. Been riding tubeless for 2 seasons and I like it very much. Wouldn't want it any other way.

Pros & Cons

Good tires.

Pros & Cons

Same tire set bought again. I did 12500km with the previous one.

Pros & Cons

As desired

Pros & Cons

Fine tyre easy to mount

Pros & Cons

Much more grip than my old Sam tyres

Pros & Cons

My bike came with 2.4 Rekon front and 2.35 Rekon Race rear, felt heavy and cumbersome. Replaced it with this combo (2.25) and it's a world of difference. It feels like a different bike. Less suction on any offroad surface, still plenty of grip. Much livelier, feels less heavy and is much faster. Very happy with it!

Pros & Cons

Easy tyre to change and the combination is super for courses in the Netherlands. Excellent grip even in slightly wetter conditions.

Pros & Cons

First of all, super fast shipping, great product, already mounted and so far I'm very happy with it, I'll be happy to buy from you again. Sincerely: MS

Fast tyres, good grip on single track and in sand. Not yet tested in wet conditions.

Pros & Cons

Racing Ray good grip and steering characteristics on sandy surfaces.

Pros & Cons

Blessed tyres for tearing through the woods

Pros & Cons

The tyres deliver super performance.

Pros & Cons

Very fine tyre combination. The front grip and fast rear tyre is ideal.

Pros & Cons

Replacing the original SCHWALBE HANS DAMPF SNAKESKIN - 29X2.35ˮ, with 29X2.20" for amateur riding. Very good tyre combination, good grip, precise steering. Increased speed and braking on roads and dry tracks. Less grip on sand. Suitable for mixed use on roads and dry tracks, just what I was looking for.
