"the tyre is lightweight and easy to fit as tubless, but unfortunatly only lasted two rides before the side wall had a stick go through it. i have now got the same tyre but as snake skin wich is working well."

Good 29er tyre

Pros: High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile

Cons: Expensive

"This tyre has great all round performance, is very light weight for the size and exhibits low rolling resistance. They seem to wear well and don't get to clogged up in the mud. Work with no tube and sealant."

Fast and sticky

Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, fast!

Cons: Expensive

"Got these tires at the recommendation of several friends who enjoy them. They are pricey, but wow, they're worth it. The 2.4" size is huge, and works great on a rigid or hardtail bike. Previously I was running the Panaracer Rampage and the Kenda Small Block 8, with 28psi in the front and 32psi in the rear. With the extra volume of the Ralphs, I'm down to 20/24 running tubeless on Stan's Flow rims. At that pressure, these tires grip like mad, and roll really, really well. Traction is so good, I was able to stand straight up on a loose climb, and didn't break traction. I know the Rampage/SB8 combo isn't known for rolling fast, but was amazed the difference with the Ralphs. The bike (Niner SIR 9) feels like brand new.

Only problem I've run into is clearance. This tire is big, and I had to replace the zip tie holding the brake hose on the arch of my REBA fork with electrical tape so it didn't rub. In the back on the Niner, clearance is good but I'd hate to have to deal with mud. Then again, these tires would probably suck in mud anyway. Everywhere else, though, these things rock. I might give the 2.25" version a try as well to go a little lighter and maybe faster."

"Running the 2.4 up front tubeless on a TD17 rim with Stan's. Big volume, fat contact patch, freaky light given its size. No grip issues to speak of."

Just love em

Pros: Great Value, Lightweight

Cons: Wears Out Easily

"This is my second set of these Tyres and I highly recommend them for an all round xc tyre. Little rolling resistance, excellant grip through the corners which provides lots of confidence. Highly recommended although they can wear out quickly if you thrash them."

Great tyres

Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight

"I ride cross country on mostly hard pack and pea gravel/sand. These beauties are so much better than my last tyres, Kenda Karma 1.9's, they grip hard and don't lose traction in gravel/sand but roll fast. Perfect for West Aussie conditions. Light as well."

Costly but near perfect 29er tyre

Pros: High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile

Cons: Expensive

"Schwalbe are expensive and there is no getting away from that fact. However what you get is a seriously impressive tyre that although seemingly has little tread grips to anything like a limpet and yet spins like a skinny semi slick. I bought the 2.4's which is the widest tyre i've bought in a decade and was a little concerned that these would be a bit slow but they aren't. They spin up nicely and then provide supreme confidence on wet roots and rock. That extra size seriously helps here. They actually measured about 2.2 in the real world but i'm told they will stretch a bit as time goes on. Their first ride was a wet and sodden affair with a lot of loamy chalk and roots around Bath and they were faultless, unlike most of my colleagues tyre choices. I've used the 26" for years and have always been impressed and i've used the 2.2 29ers and been more than happy with those as well. And definite thumbs up for these, they'll transform your 29er."
