Schwalbe Hans Dampf EVO 26" Folding MTB Tire - Super Gravity

Schwalbe Hans Dampf Evo MTB Tire - SuperGravity

The name alone indicates how significant this new tire is for Schwalbe. It is the fastest and at the same time the most reliable competition tire we have ever made. It is manufactured in a separate facility built exclusively for the production of this new top-class tire.

Super Gravity has a new carcass construction at its core. The principle is a familiar one in motorbike tires. We have taken the best features and developed them further for the MTB. For SUPER GRAVITY the sidewalls are made up of four layers of carcass material, but there are only two layers underneath the cap*

The next trick
The whole tire (not just the sidewalls) is encased in SnakeSkin fabric. Weight is negligible – and it helps a lot. In fact, it stabilizes and protects while remaining extremely flexible. At the same time, it is ideal for Tubeless Ready application.

So Super Gravity means
The tire walls are more robust. The cap is more flexible. The tire is lighter. Or in a single sentence: Downhill ruggedness at Enduro weight

Super Gravity weighed up
When combined with Tubeless Ready riders save an impressive 700 grams in weight in comparison with a conventional downhill tire. Not just somewhere on the frame, but on the rotating mass!

*The classic downhill tire construction has six layers under the cap. This adds unnecessary weight and unfortunately also makes the cap rigid and hard
