The ultimate tire for city und trekking cyclists shines with its grand profile. Thanks to the distinct center tread and bionically-designed, siped shoulder, it guarantees outstanding handling on all types of surfaces. The newly refined tread mixture is super-fast, while at the same time durable and skid-resistant. The foldable version makes it even lighter and easier to assemble. Lastly the fine, cut-resistant nylon casing and practically impenetrable VectranBreaker round out what is true German design.

The Ikon is for true racers looking for a true lightweight race tire. With 3C Triple Compound Technology, high-volume casing and a fast rolling tread design, the Ikon provides exemplary performance in all riding conditions. As its name suggests, the Ikon.

Something of a fixture on the trails in the past few years, the Maxxis Minion, in all it’s various iterations, has been living up to its name famously since its creation. Nimbler than its Highroller II Sibling and scrappy enough to stay standing through loose, white-knuckle sections of trail, we’d reach for the 29in Minion DHF EXO/TR Tire gladly on days that challenge us to stay engaged through every mile. As we mentioned, the Minion comes in different combinations of compounds and casings; this version is equipped with a dual compound rubber construction to give it speed on smooth singletrack or the occasional fire road, with dependable grip and traction when the going gets rougher and switchbacks appear. To give you the confidence to take on bumps and bruises and a few bigger-than-intended hits, this Minion also comes with the reassurance of Maxxis EXO protection beefing it up. Finally, a collection of squared off, ramped knobs are responsible for grabbing onto the trail and digging in, arranged strategically to give you traction while cornering without slowing you down too much on the straightaways and descents. The Minion’s far from the speediest tire in existence, but it’s not trying to be the fastest. Staying efficient on the smooth stuff and being ready to dive in when things get messy is the Minion DHF’s mission, and it does so with aplomb.

An aggressive tread in high-volume casings distinguishes the newest addition to Maxxis’ downhill and mountain disciplines. Designed with great traction in mind, the Ardent doesn’t forget the racer. Large block-style side knobs offer numerous edges for high-speed corners. Center tread, while designed for braking and accelerating traction, also features ramped knobs to minimize rolling resistance. With a wide variety of size offerings, the Ardent captures every mountain rider’s needs.

Designed to give you maximum grip, comfort, and protection on rougher and slippery trails and enduro courses, the Vittoria Morsa G+ mountain bike tire packs all the performance and durability you expect from Vittoria with the added benefit of the all-new G+ IsoTech graphene compound. The Morsa features an aggressive open-tread design that hooks into the trail, provides plenty of grip, yet still sheds mud and clay easily. Sharp, curved edges really bite into the terrain while angled sipes help to clear away water and maintain traction, and ramped and angled edges minimize rolling resistance. The Morsa G+ also has a graphene carbon compound mixed into the rubber layup for increased mileage. That all sounds great, but the G+ compound goes even one step further and improves the cornering grip and rolling resistance as well.Sharp curved edges keep you hooked into the trail Curved and angled sipes help clear away water Ramped and angled edges minimize rolling resistance G+ compound adds graphene to the tire rubber for better wear life and puncture resistance, as well as less rolling resistance and superior corning grip Choose 26″, 27.5″, 29er

You can’t develop a tire for globetrotters on the drawing board. So that is why all of Tilmann Waldthaler’s experience has been put to use in the development of the TravelContact. His requirements were obvious: a robust carcass with a high carrying capacity and protection against chafing and cuts, effective puncture resistance and last but not least, a tread that makes it possible to explore paths around the world quickly and safely. A foldable version is of course also available to take along as a spare. The TravelContact is ideal for touring all kinds of routes, along the Weser river in Germany or the best bikespots in the world.

It is the fastest and at the same time most reliable competition tire Schwalbe’s has ever made. It is manufactured in a separate facility built exclusively for the production of the new top-class tire.

The Minion DHF was designed for the often loose and muddy conditions of aggressive all-mountain terrain.
