This added grip helps the tyre stay stable through turns and uneven surfaces, giving more consistent handling in dry and mixed trail conditions.K-Guard puncture protection sidewalls: A natural rubber insert reinforced with Kevlar fibres strengthens the tyre casing against cuts and punctures. This added protection reduces the risk of trail-side repairs and helps maintain reliability during regular off-road riding.ADDIX high performance compound: Schwalbe's ADDIX rubber compound balances grip, rolling speed and durability across varied terrain. The compound helps the tyre maintain traction without creating excessive drag, resulting in predictable control and longer-lasting performance.A tyre that rolls efficiently on roads while still delivering dependable off-road grip helps reduce the need to swap between different tread styles.
