Description: The superlative competition tyre! In order to create the perfect tyre for fast Cross-country and Marathon races, Schwalbe went several new ways - in the tread design, in the structure of tire and particularly in the compounding.

The tread design offers the basis for grip and high, off-road speed. The secret lies in the special shapes and arrangement of the many small centre blocks. In the structure of tyre, changing the carcass angle produced an additional reduction in rolling resistance.

Compounding - Different rubber mixtures are used in the tread. These are optimised for each tread area - centre, shoulder and base. The tread designs offers great grip, perfect for off road speed 3 Different rubber mixtures are used when making this tyre these can be found at the centre, the shoulder and at the base The steeper angle of the carcass makes the driving direction more flexible - therefore reducing rolling resistance
