Schwalbe Romy PRO Tubeless Mountain Tire Description:

The Schwalbe Romy PRO Tubeless Mountain Tire is a versatile, lighter weight tire that fills the gap between all-mountain tires and hard-core enduro/gravity specific tires. Low-profile central knobs roll efficiently, and have a shape and wider spacing that effectively self-cleans themselves of mud and debris; robust shoulder blocks dig into the ground and deliver reliable cornering traction. The performance of that tread profile is optimized through the use of revamped the rubber compounds that have improved damping qualities and grippiness than the compounds that they replace. A tubeless ready folding bead has a special chafer to protect the tire where the rim contacts it, and on gravity tires this bead area receives a special design that greatly reduces the risk of the tire burping during hard runs. Best of all, this tire is available with three different casing options, two different tread compound options, and 27.5″ or 29″ wheel options so it is much easier to get the exact performance you need to have a ripping great time on the trails.

Features:

• Low profile central knob height with wide knob spacing produces a light and fast rolling tire with the versatility to take on a wide variety of trail and weather conditions, filling the gap between gravity specific tires and all-mountain tires
• Alternating central knob placement and shapes deliver great traction for propulsion and stopping, and are spaced far enough that they can effectively self-clean themselves from mud and other trail debris
• Robust shoulder knobs dig into the ground to produce confident and predictable handling
• Two new tread compounds have been introduced for PRO series tires:
• Soft compound is a firmer compound that receives improvements in damping and grip compared to the ADDIX Soft compound that it replaces, and is a balanced choice for comfort, traction, and longevity
• Mid compound is the firmest compound offered on the Romy with improvements to the damping and grip compared to the ADDIX SpeedGrip compound it replaces, and it delivers a comfortable ride along with the best rolling efficiency and durability
• All of the PRO tire compounds used in the construction of the Romy tire consist of 100% Fair Rubber and recycled carbon black (from Schwalbe’s in house tire recycling program) as part of Schwalbe’s sustainability efforts
• Three different casing variants are available:
• Gravity casings have 6 layers under the tread, 4 layers in the sidewall, and additional burping protection within the bead, creating a very stable tire with excellent cut, impact/pinch flat, and puncture protection
• Trail casing reduces the layers used in the construction to reduce weight and to create a smoother riding tire, but is still puncture and impact flat resistant, making this a great casing for riders that ride uphill and still want to retain the ability to fly downhill
• Race casing has the least number of layers used throughout the construction of the tire (though it still has a puncture resistant layer under the tread) to produce the lightest tire with the most compliant ride, making this a great front tire option or a very capable tire for race day
• Gravity and trail casing options have a Snake Skin fabric layer for improved cut and puncture protection, and an additional Apex layer towards the bead of the tire for enhanced stability
• Revised label on the sidewall cleans up the aesthetics and makes the tire information much easier to read and understand
• E-50 E-Bike rating
