Schwalbe has a new fast-rolling prototype XC race mountain bike tire, racing the UCI MTB World Cup and likely coming soon to you...
But this new prototype Schwalbe XC tire tread pattern seems to share very little in shaping with any of Schwalbe’s other XC race-oriented tires.The only link would be the 3 central rows of small square studs for fast straight-line rolling. But even here they are bigger than on Burt, with wider spacing and a less pronounced in-and-out offset of the outer row. Those tweaks presumably would improve grip in more varied -wetter and muddier- conditions, without sacrificing speed.
These simple more open-spaced and equally-offset transition & shoulder lugs should provide more consistent grip while cornering, improved shoulder support, while also digging into loose terrain when needed.Unlike the Racing Ray & Ralph, this new XC tire is not front- or rear-specific. But it is directional with lug edges slightly pointing forward at the top of the tire – for fast rolling but good braking.
Overall, every tread lug gets a sipe to allow the individual block to deform more for grip over irregular obstacles – square cutouts for the center, horizontal lines cut from the transitions, and angle lines cut into the shoulder knobs.
