Schwalbe
Great start to the year 2012 :with support from TIM at Schwalbe
For 2012 I’ve been fortunate to receive support from Schwalbe. The build quality of their tyres is top drawer and the classic Rocket Rons and Racing Ralphs suit my endurance riding and racing needs perfectly.
However, like many endurance riders, I also spend substantial amounts of time on the road bike. Staffordshire some of the best road riding in the country, with quiet roads, long steep climbs, and technically challenging descents. Riding on the road is far from boring round here! As I am currently knocking out some mid to long hilly rides, the first set of new Schwalbe tyres to come out of the box was the ultra
The tyres are designed for high mileage use but still feel nice and fast. They are also very comfortable, but the outstanding aspect is the degree of control, particularly in the wet and on gritty broken roads I have used to date and have vastly improved my confidence on tight flat corners as well as sweeping high speed descents.
Many thanks to Schwalbe
FURIOUS FRED
No question - you want to win! Is the track drying out? Can you risk a puncture? Is your technical riding skill excellent? OK - you are ready for Furious Fred. Never before has there been an MTB tyre that ran so fast. Tread design optimized for speed, minimal material, 127-epi-Evo-carcass, PaceStar Triple Compound.

ROCKET RON
Racers’ dreams come true. This super light ‚Rocket’ answers almost every demand at one time: Incredible grip with extremely low weight and fully loaded with all the latest technology – 127-Evo-carcass, PaceStar Triple Compound, U-Blocks forming an open tread that has exceptional self-cleaning properties. Countdown begins!29 * 2.25 520g PACESTAR TUBELESS READY
RACING RALPH
Real racers always want to improve by getting better and faster. Result: We radically revised Racing Ralph for the second time - with PaceStar Compound and a completely modified profile. Also the hard numbers show how ambitious we were: RACING. In addition the modified profile and PaceStar compound provide even better control. 29ers have a much larger contact area. For the first time the arrangement and proximity of lugs on the new Racing Ralph have been specially adapted to this greater contact area. It emphasizes even better the advantages of a 29� - rolling resistance and grip.

ULTREMO ZX
As tyre designers the Ultremo is the pinnacle of our ambition. We strived relentlessly to increase its speed and installed the ZX with HD Speed Guard and RaceStar Triple Compound. Both components are perfectly tuned to the requirements of an outstanding competition yre. The result: Significant reduction in rolling resistance. Even so we used additional material to reinforce the tyre shoulders and to ensure a considerable increase in mileage. ZX - the best Ultremo ever!
