Addix soft orange punctureproof with apex with extreme lateral stability for a dynamic ride. One of the best things about. Primarily for the use on the rear wheel. Available in 26 inch 650b and 29 inch sizes the 2 35 inch wide rock razor is offered with the trail bike oriented snakeskin casing or the heavier duty super gravity casing found under schwalbe s world cup downhill and enduro world series racers.

The magic mary with its big beefy knobs is a descendent of the muddy mary but shares some design characteristics right between the muddy mary and dirty dan helping it thrive in loose conditions. Fast flat studs in the tread center good cornering grip with sturdy lugs on the tire shoulders super gravity version. There are various rock razors including a sub 700g snakeskin version but the super gravity uses the latest evolution of schwalbe s four ply sidewall two ply under tread gravity carcass. The rock razor is schwalbe s offering in this category.

Used on very fast and dry trails. Superb fast rolling rear tyre experience.
