The Schwalbe Rick XC Pro EVO Speed TLR is specifically designed for mountain bikers who prioritize speed and performance. With a strong focus on grip and velocity, this tire is perfectly suited for cross-country riding.
Difference Between Speedgrip and Speed:
- Speedgrip: Black with a stiffer sidewall, making it ideal for marathon rides.
- Speed: Features a skinwall side, offering more flexibility, which is better suited for cross-country.
Key Improvements
A significant enhancement of this tire is the reinforced transition between the central tread and the sidewalls, reducing the risk of punctures caused by sharp obstacles. Additionally, the tire is Tubeless Ready, allowing for easy use without an inner tube, delivering improved performance and comfort.
No More Mixing Required
In the past, top-level riders often chose different tires for the front and rear wheels, such as the Racing Ralph in the front and Thunder Burt in the rear. With the introduction of the Racing Rick XC Pro, this is no longer necessary. This tire combines the best attributes of both, enabling optimal performance on both the front and rear with a single model.
