The fast-rolling Rocket Ron and tenacious Knobby Nic established Schwalbe’s reputation for producing lightweight, high-volume tires. While these tires bridged cross country speed with all-mountain reliability, they suffered when the terrain got seriously aggressive. Hearing the cries, Schwalbe responded with the more durable Hans Dampf Snakeskin TL Ready 26in Tire. With large tread blocks, a 2.35 inch width, and Snakeskin sidewall reinforcement the Hans Dampf 29er is placed squarely in the aggressive all mountain/enduro racing market. Featuring Schwalbe’s tubeless-ready TL technology, meaning that it will require sealant in order to complete the tubeless picture. In our eyes, this is no big deal, as sealant has proven to not only provide an air tight seal, but it also helps prevent flats down the road. Adding another color to that flat-resistant picture is the aforementioned Snakeskin sidewall. Snakeskin is a nylon-fabric protection layer that’s laminated to the sidewall in order to prevent cuts and abrasion from rocks. And while the added material does add a touch of heft to the Hans’ waistline, it’s only marginal when considering the added piece of mind. The tire also uses Schwalbe’s 67 TPI casing with a three-ply layer under the tread. That aggressive tread pattern is composed of Schwalbe’s TrailStar compound — a rubber mixture that contains carbon filler. This gives the Dampf toughness without hindering any pliability. The result is a fast rolling, aggressive tire. For added cornering traction, Schwalbe also used a grippier, softer rubber for the side knobs. The Schwalbe Hans Dampf Snakeskin TL Ready 26in Tire is available in a 26 x 2.35in width.

Big Apple got a brother. The comfort is the same, but the tread profile is slightly taller, giving better grip in mixed off-road conditions. Also available in a “normal” size of 40mm which isn’t so “big”, it’s called Little Big Ben. Also available in the classic colors of creme, brown and grey.

The tubeless rim tape is extremely user friendly and at the same time very high pressure resistant. Even on road bikes a single ply of tape is sufficient.

Tires come with 1 set (2 units) of Skyscape metal Schrader valve caps. If you require Skyscape metal presta style please contact us at the time of purchase (within 1 hour of placing the order) so we can ensure your preference is shipped. Schrader is the default type with this type of tire.

The Schwalbe range is well known for its puncture protection tyres. The Lugano tyre has a layer of puncture protection that will prevent the vast majority of road debris from ruining your ride.The puncture protection layer is built in to the carcass of the tyre so that your grip and feel on the road isn’t compromised.

The most successful competition tire. We made it even more merciless – lower weight, lower rolling resistance, better grip. It slices through terrain with its sharkstooth’ U-Blocks that make it grip much more aggressively, particularly in curves.

The perfect choice for virtually any track. Intermediate tread: maximum braking traction and cornering grip even in extremely muddy terrain thanks to strong shoulder studs and the aggressive, open tread design. Downhill version: ADDIX Ultra Soft (purple). Especially robust, double carcass design with downhill apex, clincher tyres. Super Gravity version: ADDIX Soft (orange) or ADDIX Ultra Soft (purple). Puncture-proof (with Apex) with extreme lateral stability for a dynamic ride. Tubeless Easy version: ADDIX Soft (orange). Only in 27.5+ with ADDIX Speedgrip (blue) and Apex. Bikepark version: A lot of tire for a little money. Unbelievably robust with super long life.
