Schwalbe’s choice of comical model names might amuse you but there’s no questioning their no-nonsense approach to tyre technology.

Racing Ralph Evolution 26 x 2.10

The most successful competition tyre. We made it even more merciless – lower weight, lower rolling resistance, better grip. It slices through terrain with its ‘sharkstooth’ U-Blocks that make it grip much more aggressively, particularly in curves.

Here’s what BIKE magazine had to say about the Racing Ralph:
