Schwalbe Rick XC Pro Evo Speed ​​TLR MTB Tire

The Schwalbe Rick XC Pro EVO Speed TLR is specifically designed for mountain bikers seeking speed and performance. With a strong focus on grip and speed, this tire is ideal for cross-country riding.

Difference Between Speedgrip and Speed

• Speedgrip: Features a black design with a stiffer sidewall, making it better suited for marathons.
• Speed: Includes a skinwall sidewall for increased flexibility, making it more suitable for cross-country use.

Key Improvement

One significant enhancement of this tire is the reinforced transition between the central tread and the sidewalls, reducing the risk of punctures from sharp obstacles. Additionally, the tire is Tubeless Ready, allowing for easy setup without an inner tube, which enhances performance and comfort.

No More Mixing Needed

Previously, elite riders often opted for different tires on the front and rear wheels, such as the Racing Ralph up front and the Thunder Burt in the rear. The introduction of the Racing Rick XC Pro changes that. This tire combines the best features of both, providing optimal performance for both front and rear use.

Technology

Addix Speed Compound
The Addix Speed compound, identifiable by its red stripe, is specially developed for cross-country racing. It delivers extremely low rolling resistance, enabling you to blaze through trails at high speeds. Despite its low resistance, the tire remains impressively durable and robust.

Tubeless Ready
Schwalbe has elevated tubeless technology to a new level. All their mountain bike tires with TLE and TLR designations are optimized for tubeless use. This not only reduces rolling resistance and improves comfort but also ensures a simple and efficient mounting process.
