Reviews over the

Schwalbe Racing Ralph Addix Speed Super Ground TLE

Super combo set the Ralph and the Ray, tested on gravel and forest, sublime

Pros & Cons

The product meets my expectations and the description and experience of others.

Pros & Cons

Tubeless riding, can be ridden at low pressure which improves handling and cornering.

Pros & Cons

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.

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

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)

Pros & Cons

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.

Top band

Pros & Cons

Fast delivery 5 years I've had these tyres and this new version is even more robust on

I have a second set already, comes highly recommended

Pros & Cons

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

I drive the tire for several years and get along great with him

Pros & Cons

Good quality tire. Easy to mount. Good road grip.

The Ralph and ray ride wonderfully in combination with latex inner tubes as far as I am concerned

Pros & Cons

Very good tires. Very good delivery!

Pros & Cons

meets my expectations

Pros & Cons

Easy to mount. Very good performance on dry or mixed surfaces. To be seen in the mud, not yet tried.

Pros & Cons

very good tires with good grip perfect pairing with the Racing Ray

Pros & Cons

Great tire for xco. Good grip and weight

Pros & Cons

First time on the track with this tire alone feeling much more grip!

Pros & Cons

Hello I bought a tire schwalbe racing Ralph 29x2.25 evo super ground tle /Addix Speed.I doubt on the reliability in view of the aspect of manufacture on the side of the tire.See attached photos.

Pros & Cons

I got the tire tubeless on the rim very smoothly. Feels tremendously grippy. Top tire

Pros & Cons

Smooth, rolling and light cover

Pros & Cons

Meets my expectations following other review.

Pros & Cons

nice that you spam me for a review, but please do the same with items that I have returned from misery like the Jumbo Visma bicycle pump. what a sh*t thing, I don't understand why those pros want to be photographed with such a mismatch

Pros & Cons

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.

Pros & Cons

product meets my expectations

Pros & Cons

Very fine tire mounting is a little trickier, seems stiffer than my previous tire

Pros & Cons

Very fine tire mounting is a little trickier, seems stiffer than my previous tire

Pros & Cons

Very hard tire, no way to show it. I bought another one but not this brand anymore.

Pros & Cons

Good tire, but if punctured while cycling virtually impossible to repair, workshop required.

Pros & Cons

Great tyre for this price, good grip and still easy to speed. Is a folding tyre so trickier to fit, use a little grease and patience.

Pros & Cons

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.

Pros & Cons

This was my first experience buying from this portal, the material ordered arrived as I expected in perfect condition and on time. I will definitely make further purchases and I highly recommend it.

A brand a guarantee

Pros & Cons

Good product, fast delivery, good feedback.

Without tyre levers, just mounted on the rim with my hands. Inflated with a simple floor pump.

Pros & Cons

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.

Pros & Cons

Good product

Pros & Cons

excellent tyre -; good quality/price ratio!

Pros & Cons

Nice in all areas steers well

Pros & Cons

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.

Pros & Cons

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.

Pros & Cons

Feels good on the singeltracks near us on the Utrecht Ridge.

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Has been using racing ralph for a long time.

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Nice reliable all-rounder, easy to make tubeless. Sturdy sidewalls.

Pros & Cons

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)

Pros & Cons

use with 1.5bars for a rider weight of 75kg

Pros & Cons

Another pair of fine tyres on my 26". Can go for another nice while

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

A great tyre for autumn cycling with a soft rubber compound that makes the tyre supple and grippy.

Pros & Cons

Always quality products delivered as quickly as possible

Pros & Cons

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.

Pros & Cons

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.

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.

Pros & Cons

What a great tyre, super fast and still plenty of grip

Pros & Cons

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.

Pros & Cons

I got an email that this combo was back in stock and I ordered it right away, delivered two days later. Super happy with it.

Pros & Cons

Good

Pros & Cons

very difficult to fit , did not get on the wheel without tyre levers and then with a lot of effort ( size deviation from the factory ??? )

Pros & Cons

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.

Pros & Cons

Very fine tyre, made tubeless and is ideal for it. For me a solid and reliable tyre

Pros & Cons

Good rear xc tyre

Pros & Cons

Already had the liteskin.but after a few days of tree roots and rocks super satisfied.

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

after literally 1 ride a hole in the side!!! On a 200m descent with a few loose stones, not even rocks...

Pros & Cons

slightly less grip than my previous rear tyre but slightly faster.

Extra

Pros & Cons

Top tyres

Pros & Cons

Great tyre in 1 word. Much less rolling resistance so mountain bike is now better suited to longer stretches on asphalt

Pros & Cons

Can't be caught on this tape anymore!

Pros & Cons

Very good tyres in multiple areas

Easily fitted and great grip in harsh conditions. Super!!!

Pros & Cons

Several combinations tried, but the Racing Ray and Racing Ralph combo is the best for the wet Dutch climate.

Pros & Cons

Fine as a rear tyre, great grip

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

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.

Pros & Cons

Stable, good rolling resistance and sufficient grip.

Pros & Cons

Is on rear wheel, super much grip in mud even with quite high pressure

Pros & Cons

Gives the desired grip, what more could you want.

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

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.

Pros & Cons

Top tyre. Perfect for the drunense dunes.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

top tyre! runs nice and light and has more than enough grip

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.

Pros & Cons

tyre with good handling characteristics. Previously combined with a "Nobby Nic" as a front tyre. Currently with a "Racing Ray". very satisfied.

Tyre bolts very well. No punctures yet. Went on hard though.

Pros & Cons

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).

Pros & Cons

Much more grip with this combination of tyres, highly recommended! They also roll perfectly on asphalt.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

I have been riding with the RR as a rear tyre for years with complete satisfaction. Sufficient grip during bike rides all year round.

Pros & Cons

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

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

I go much faster and less power and slip less :)

Pros & Cons

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
