Schwalbe Nobby Nic (11600731) S/S 26X2.25" Tire
  • Much less wheel slip under power climbing out of the saddle, and even handled snow nicely. Climbed well on steep gravel.
  • A really good tire for fall and winter.
  • Great tire. The best out there for sidewall protection on no tubes.
  • With the rocky terrain I ride on, the Nobby Nick's are more durable, never having a flat.
  • I really don't like the compound or cornering grip.
Schwalbe Racing Ralph Evolution Line Tire, 27.5 x 2.25-Inch
  • Good low rolling resistance on asphalt. Almost as fast as Thunder Burt.
  • Fast rolling... Very predictable in the corners... I have a lot of confidence as a result.
  • The tyre provides excellent performance and still has a good kilometers in it before I swap to the new one.
  • Does not burp easily unless riding very low pressure. Good grip and slide outs when cornering hard is predictable.
  • Have not experienced a sidewall cuts or ripped nobbies on my 4 th set yet. Reasonably good wear rate.

What customers say about "Features"
Schwalbe Nobby Nic (11600731) S/S 26X2.25" Tire
  • They have lasted for 2 seasons now and still have plenty of tread.
  • I've been using this as a front with a Racing Ralph on the rear for around three years 11k miles with no complaints.
  • Rolling resistance is great for the knobby size. Weight is also excellent.
  • Their strenght appears on Rocky terrains, wet rocks, wet roots. They are glued to hard wet terrain, I even crossed small or bigger springs that had Rocky bottom, not the slightest slippery movement. Comfortable.
  • They work really well when the ground is a little tacky. Pretty lousy traction on loose gravel and dry dusty trails.
Schwalbe Racing Ralph Evolution Line Tire, 27.5 x 2.25-Inch
  • This is a fast tyre on rock and hardpack. I think this tyre would make a good dry weather choice.
  • This tyre is fast, ok, its knobbles are small so during dry conditions its certainly worth running this tyre.
  • I have now done more than 2,000 km on the original Racing Ralph and not only have I not had a single puncture
  • I have used these tyres on a variety of terrain including hard packed trails, sand and more than a bit of mud. Traction in all conditions is excellent. Definitely recommended.
  • Easy to set up tubeless on Hope enduro rims, not used in anger yet but roll well on dry trails.
