Schwalbe Racing Ralph MTB Tire

Racing Ralph is the most successful off-road Schwalbe competition tire. The new version is even more merciless – lower weight, lower rolling resistance and better grip. It slices through terrain with its sharkstooth U-Blocks that make it grip much more aggressively, particularly in curves.

Schwalbe's PaceStar Triple Compound is a combination of three of their fastest compounds to optimize the tire's performance. The low-profile tread of the Racing Ralph is still an excellent cornering tire thanks to the U-Block shoulder tread. The tread blocks are angled toward the outside of the tire, working to counteract the lateral forces endured when cornering to maintain traction and keep the bike stable.

The Schwalbe Racing Ralph is tubeless ready (TL) and available in 2.1" or 2.25" widths.
