For use in the Netherlands a light running top band!!!
Tyre is suitable in various conditions. In really muddy conditions, the tyre falls a little short. The tyre runs light on the road and on average forest trails. If you ride the tyre tubeless get the maximum performance out of it as you can ride with less pressure in tougher conditions.

Good all-rounder durable MTB tire
Good MTB tire, I use it for years. The new versions are much better for grip, more durable and easy to put on.

nice tyre with sufficient grip
my tyres that were on it had very little grip in somewhat wet conditions, now I put this tyre on and it really is a world of difference

Great tyre to put on the back of your MTB
I have been riding with this rear tyre for three years now and am very satisfied. With tubeless fitting, a bit of Schwalbe Easy Fit along the side and it pops right on with an air bed pump and valve removed. Then insert the valve and continue inflating until you hear the two familiar pops Do pay attention to the driving direction during fitting, it's a bit of a search for the arrow.

Expensive,... and durability will still have to prove itself.
Great tyre, Very low profile though which makes me wonder how long it will last. You would almost replace it already when it is brand new. Future will tell. Previously always rode Smart Sam (reasonably high profile in the middle and still fast on the road), only my type could not be tubeless.

Good XC tyre
It is a good rear wheel for marathon/ XC, especially the harder version, the speed. The casing seems to be more solid than the previous versions and with a contained weight. Ideal companion for a front Ray

Delivers what it promises
Top tyre, mounted it in combination with the Racing Ray. I am surprised at the very good grip but also the rolling resistance. I can't say anything about the durability yet.

Schwalbe's rear tyre
Great compound for rear wheel. Took 2.25 because of weight but in hindsight would have preferred 2.35. Super low noise and resistance. Easy tubeless

Tubeless EASY!
This tyre is really easy to make tubeless. Place it on the tubeless ready rim (or apply tubeless ready rim tape first) and pump it up. An ordinary air pump (high volume type) is sufficient for this. After putting the tyre on the rim, I removed the valve core, ran 60 mL of Doc Blue (sealant) through the valve into the tyre, screwed the valve core back in and then inflated to about 3 Bar. After a few days, reduced to the desired pressure of about 1.8 Bar. Schwalbe does not say too much when they call their tyre tubeles easy. I cannot say anything else about the quality of the tyre yet. But it is a top tyre from a top brand, so it will be fine. Tool for placing the tyre on the rim: BBB Cycling Easytire Tyre Aid BTL-78 and an extra helping hand.

Schwalbe evo's give such confidence, tyres and brakes don't cut corners
Developed further and further over the years. Used to be a perfect combination Nobby Nic front Racing Ralph rear. Also tried a Racing Ray front once but front end off sooner anyway (could also be down to my riding style)

I checked the tire and found nothing (quality problem ????) and I'm too scared to put the tire back on the bike for XCO races. I tried a Vittoria

Good tyre
Some difficulty getting it onto the wheel because of the stiffness of the rods, but once in place the seal is perfect. No loss of pressure. However, I was a little disappointed with the weight, which was higher than the 650g advertised. The one I received weighed 712g, which is 10% more, which is not insignificant.

Easy tubeless top tyre
If there is no thick mud, there is no better tyre. Rolls like crazy, grip is excellent and making it tubeless is easy. I cycled all over France on unpaved paths with rocks and rough gravel, zero punctures. The tyre is a bit difficult to get on and off the rim, but that is now the case with all tubeless-ready tyres. Hence a 9 instead of a 10

mantel all OK , schwalbe no
I've been riding schwalbe for ages, currently on 3 mtb one with furious fred and two with racing ralph one new model and one old model the new racing ralph has a good shoulder and good smoothness, but the old racing ralph pace star in ligth version goes much better uphill, the new one goes better on asphalt with good support, but it's a bit heavy and the 670 grams declared on my scales turned out to be 715, a bit too much, not least one of the two purchased was slightly off-centre reassembled 3 times and turned no improvement!I don't know whether to trust it any more

Top all-round band
I had ordered this band before. Very happy with it. Can be used in all conditions. A wider tire is needed in lots of mud. I don't have a compressor at home so took a while to get the tire on tubeless.

I would order again.
Rides well and makes such a grippy noise when you put more weight on it in corners. I like that a lot. Has a sporty look, similar to the original tyre. To be honest, I bought it because of the look. The fitting itself went quite normally, but the perfect fit was impossible for me and I had to get help. Maybe I just don't have the experience. I wish Schwalbe would put the lettering back on in white instead of silver/grey.

Good tyre with plenty of grip
I bought the 2.35. Nice and wide, nice profile, nice tyre. Very difficult to fit. You only get it on with two tyre levers and a lot of Dreft. And you also have to inflate it very hard before it pops into the rim (only works with detergent for lubrication). Considering the weight, I would choose the 2.25 next time. The brown sidewalls are also lighter than the black ones.

Excellent tyre for roads, footpaths and light trails.
Fitted this on rear wheel to replace a good tubeless tyre and to match with the Schwalbe Racing Ray on the front. Anecdotally, the bike feels a little faster, lighter and easier to turn in the same way as when I converted the front to tubeless last year. Works great on the roads, footpaths and light trails I ride on; can really feel this tyre gripping the tarmac when cycling up steep hills.

impossible to remove from the rim!
To remove it from the rim, I had to cut the rod with a box cutter! I may have come across a faulty one, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I do not like this brand! Have had these tyres on them for a year now and already had 8 punctures and not even through glass or metal but through a plant thorn! The tyres are super thin and really poor quality.

Best combination between speed and durability
I chose this tyre because I already had very good experiences with it. However, I had the lightweight version and it did show more wear. So now I chose this 'Super Ground', which is stronger and still has low rolling resistance. This tyre is particularly suitable for the trails we know in the Netherlands, but also perfect for paved roads (combination of XC and marathon).

Very good service, tyre difficult to put on rim.
Very good service from Mantel. Delivered quickly and well packaged. Tyre itself is very difficult to put on the rim alone. However, with an extra hand from a second person, it was easily fixed.

Tyre too wide to make tubeless
As a replacement for my Maxxis Aspen tubeless tyre, I had bought the Racing Ralph in the same size. Putting the tyre on the rim was super easy. However, I did not manage to pop the tyre into the rim. I have quite some experience with fitting tubeless tyres but everything I tried didn't work (pump with air tank, schwalbe tyre booster, compressor). The tyre was so wide that all the air escaped between them. So I returned the tyre and will now just order another one. This has already cost me more than enough time and frustration.

right balance between grip and rolling resistance
tyre with good handling characteristics. Previously combined with a "Nobby Nic" as a front tyre. Currently with a "Racing Ray". very satisfied.

Quality
I have been riding the schwalbe racing ray, racing ralph combo for 2 years now and am very satisfied with them. I do both marathon and xco in high-level competition. In 1 year I have only fallen flat once due to a screw on the street. They are very durable so you can cycle with them for a very long time. I even use this combo for winter you just have to lower your tyre pressure and you're off!!!! Highly recommended
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Never knew how to be so happy with a new band!
Following a tip, I bought this Ralph together with the Racing Ray Addix SpeedGrip Super Ground. The Ralph (2.25) sits at the back and the Ray (2.35) sits at the front and that's a lovely combo. So far I have done 1 ride with it and I never knew you can be so happy with new tyres! Man, I was 'dancing' across the Utrechtse Heuvelrug ;-) If I can still mention a downside, it's the fitting. I'm too stingy to buy one of those Schwalbe ointments and then you sometimes push the thumb out from under your nail to get the tyre on the rim.

Too bad you really have to buy tyres on good faith, as there is no warranty on them!
Mantel's deliveries are prompt. Unfortunately, I can write off a "quality" tyre from Schwalbe within a year because it appears to be worn out just above the rim edge. Tried another bottle of latex ( was a waste of latex and work)

Tyre comes off the rim when tubing
I've been riding tubeless Schwalbes (Racing Ralph rear and Ray front) for several years and am very satisfied with them. The only problem with this tyre seems to be that the bead/cheek of the tyre is too weak: when making it tubeless with Stan's no tubes, the tyre seems to seal well, but when I go for a ride (tyre pressure around 3 bar), I drive the tyre 'off the rim'. After a while, the latex seeps between the tyre and rim and eventually it runs completely off the rim. You also feel before you ride that you can 'push' the tyre off the rim with a bit of force. It has already happened twice to me, even though I cleaned and degreased everything beforehand. Maybe my rim is not compatible with this tyre, but I have never had problems with other Schwalbe tyres. If anyone has any further ideas, please let me know.
Pros & Cons

Never hesitate about a tyre right away choose a Schwalbe!
Great tyre in 1 word. Much less rolling resistance so mountain bike is now better suited to longer stretches on asphalt

Great tyre for most conditions
Super-fast tyre. Mn on hard surfaces. Less grip in mud, blubber and boggy terrain
