Schwalbe Rick XC Pro Evo Speedgrip TLR MTB Tyre

The Schwalbe Racing Rick XC Pro Evo Speedgrip TLR mountain bike tyre is the mountain bike tyre for those looking for ultimate performance. This tyre is the midpoint of the Schwalbe Racing Ralph and Thunder Burt. That means it's faster than the Racing Ralph, but provides more grip than the Thunder Burt. All this makes the tyre extremely suitable for athletic mountain bikers, for whom even fractions of seconds matter. Plus, Schwalbe has strengthened the transition between the middle and the shoulder of the tyre, which makes the chance of impact punctures much lower.

No need for combinations
On a mountain bike, the ideal front tyre isn't necessarily the ideal rear tyre. For example, riders of the highest level often chose a Racing Ralph as a front tyre, and a Thunder Burt as a rear tyre. This is a thing of the past with the launch of the Racing Rick XC Pro, because it combines the best parts of the Racing Ralph and Thunder Burt. You'll no longer have to combine tyres, but can choose one tyre for both your front and rear wheel.

Addix SpeedGrip
A light blue stripe across the tyre indicates the use of the Addix SpeedGrip rubber compound. This universal rubber compound is the most widely applicable one, including in disciplines like XC, All Mountain and Trail. The Addix SpeedGrip has a long lifespan when used intensively, and also provides a lot of grip and speed. It's impossible to perfectly balance all desired qualities of a compound, but with Addix SpeedGrip Schwalbe comes very close!

Tubeless Ready
At Schwalbe they're strongly convinced that tubeless riding is the tyre technology of the future. That's why Schwalbe has ensured all mountain bike tyres marked TLE or TLR are optimised for riding without a tube. The construction of the carcass also makes the mounting process easier.
