Schwalbe Rock Razor Review

Magic mary is a favourite amongst gravity riders.

Schwalbe rock razor review.

Schwalbe also offer a number of condition specific tires like the dirty dan for muddy terrain and rock razor for extremely dry conditions. It was in this context that schwalbe established in 1973 emerged as a standard setter in the bicycle tire market. Schwalbe introduced two new gravity oriented tires at interbike 2013 the aggressive magic mary and semi slick rock razor. Addix soft orange punctureproof with apex with extreme lateral stability for a dynamic ride.

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. Low rolling resistance and minimal weight. The launch of the legendary schwalbe marathon tire in 1983 with its unprecedented mileage was met with great enthusiasm by keen cyclists bicycle dealers and trade journalists. No doubt half of you will stop reading as soon as we mention that it was developed from enduro racing but bear with me.

Schwalbe rock razor tyre review. The rock razor is schwalbe s offering in this category. 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 new schwalbe mountain bike tires in review.

Primarily for the use on the rear wheel. Fast flat studs in the tread center good cornering grip with sturdy lugs on the tire shoulders super gravity version. Schwalbe s rock razor is an important tire. With its massive shoulder knobs the aggressive tread pattern.

The rock razor needs a confident and precise pilot and it certainly benefits from being paired with an aggressive front tire like the schwalbe hans dampf to increase overall braking traction. Less experienced or more cautious riders may feel a lack of braking control with this tire. 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. Superb fast rolling rear tyre experience.

One of the best things about. Used on very fast and dry trails.
