Albert Radial Tire - 27.5" Gravity Pro, Addix Soft, E-50

The Schwalbe Albert Radial Tire in 27.5" is a gravity-focused mountain bike tire built for riders who want predictable control on hard-packed trails and confident traction when speeds climb. Its Radial carcass construction is engineered to enlarge and better stabilize the contact patch, helping the tire conform to trail texture for more usable grip, improved damping, and a calmer ride feel—without relying on excessive pressure reduction.

Paired with Addix Soft rubber and an E-50 rating for e-bike use, this Albert targets the demands of enduro and e-MTB riding where braking traction, corner support, and consistency over chatter matter as much as outright bite.

• Radial carcass construction - Designed for a larger, more terrain-conforming contact patch for added grip, comfort, and control on rough or hard-packed surfaces
• Increased contact area by design - Engineered to provide approximately 30% more contact area than conventional tires at the same pressure; even with a 50% pressure increase, the contact area is designed to remain about 15% larger
• Closed, round profile - Promotes predictable handling and consistent lean behavior, supporting confident cornering and line choice
• Hardpack-focused knob layout - Special tread pattern aims for continuous, repeatable grip and controlled braking on firm, fast trails
• Gravity Pro construction - Built for the impacts and loads of aggressive riding, prioritizing stability and control when pushing speed
• Addix Soft compound + E-50 rating - Balanced traction and braking feel with e-bike suitability for higher system weights and sustained torque
