Anyone know much about Schwalbe’s new tire? See it at Interbike? Plan on using it? Heard any reviews?
It’s been almost a month since the 1st try, anyone heard anything about these?
i got a set last friday for a race today.
ohmigod… i have had a tyre epiphany!!
i don’t profess to be a cycling god but these tyres were a revelation.
i had done the same race last year and there is a cool corner at the bottom of a steep descent. this year i hit the corner faster and could hold a much tighter line (4m tighter than last year). they were awesome on the corners and immediately gave me confidence fresh out the box.
as for rolling resistance and speed?.. not enough use with them yet but for sure i was lots faster than last year and the impression they gave was they they were much faster.
they also look very sexy… soooooo light (195g)
had a very tub feel. and they look very very sexy
i wanna work for schwalbe!!
i got them on friday with a lot of difficulty… all the amsterdam shops had sold out - they are selling like hotcakes over here!!
each year i try different types (including the prorace2 that everyone loves), and these just stood out.
Awesome! Thanks for the review. I did wind up getting a set (they are flying off the shelf here too) but haven’t ridden on them yet. Very excited to! Glad your race went well!
