Reviews over the

Schwalbe Racing Ralph + Racing Ray TLE

Had these for a month, three punctures on the back and one on the front. Run at 25-28 psa with Muc Off sealant. They tyres are very thin compared to Conti and Maxxis and tear easily. Have replaced with Maxxis Ardent Race.

Pros & Cons

I normally use a Thunder Burt on the back and a Racing Ralph on the front - but the Thunder Burt is a little too slick as soon as the rains start. This combo feels perfect - and I think Schwalbe have made their compound stickier too. Very pleased - and they’ve been the easiest tubeless tyres I’ve ever installed. No swearing involved at all, for once!

Pros & Cons

Great tyres for xc and trail. Light, fast rolling, don’t squirm and lots of grip wet or dry

Pros & Cons

Perfect combination for dry conditions. Very fast rolling and lightweight when accelerating. Cornering good. Scarily fast on tight single track. Easy Tubeless fit on Stan's rims.

Pros & Cons

Fast and look cool. Good Schawlow product.

Nice tyres, I bought a second set for the other half's bike.

Pros & Cons

I loved the old racing Ralph and was skeptical when I first saw these released. They looked slower and just wrong. But schwalbe know their stuff, the ray is an amazing front tyre and has all the predictability that you loved on the old Ralph just with more grip. Then on the rear they have made the new Ralph roll even faster than before whilst still maintaining that predictable grip. Hands down the best xc tyres going.
