The Schwalbe Racing Rick XC Pro Evo Speedgrip TLR is the perfect choice for mountain bikers looking for maximum performance. In terms of properties, this tire is exactly between the Schwalbe Racing Ralph and Thunder Burt, which means that it is faster than the Racing Ralph and offers more grip than the Thunder Burt. This makes it ideal for the sporty rider for whom every fraction of a second counts. In addition, Schwalbe has reinforced the transition between the center and the sides of the tire, which significantly reduces the chance of a puncture.

Difference Speedgrip and Speed:
Speedgrip is black and has a stiffer wall. This is better for marathon.

Speed ​​has a skinwall sidewall and is therefore more flexible. This is better for cross country.

No more tire combinations needed
Where top mountain bikers used to choose different tires for the front and rear wheel, such as a Racing Ralph at the front and a Thunder Burt at the rear, the Racing Rick XC Pro puts an end to this. This tire combines the best properties of both, so you can now use one tire that delivers optimal performance both front and rear.

Technology

Addix SpeedGrip
The Addix SpeedGrip compound, recognizable by the light blue stripe, is a versatile rubber compound that can be used in a wide range of disciplines such as XC, All Mountain and Trail. This compound offers an excellent balance between grip, speed and durability, and performs well during intensive use. Although perfection is difficult to achieve, the Addix SpeedGrip comes very close to the ideal mix of properties.

Tubeless Ready
Schwalbe strongly believes in tubeless riding as the future of tire technology. That is why all their mountain bike tires with the TLE and TLR designations are optimized for use without an inner tube. The advanced carcass construction also makes it easier to mount the tire tubeless.
