The Schwalbe Albert Radial is a 29-inch MTB tire built for riders who want confident cornering and braking on hard-packed trails, with the added control benefits of Schwalbe’s Radial carcass. By increasing the tire’s ability to conform to trail texture and edges, the Radial construction is designed to deliver a larger, more consistent contact patch for grip, comfort, and composure—especially when speeds and loads go up. The Evolution Line build, Gravity Pro casing, and Addix Ultra Soft compound target maximum traction, while the E-50 rating supports e-MTB use up to the designated speed class.
Why this 29" gravity tire stands out on hardpack
Radial carcass contact patch - Designed to provide approximately 30% more contact area than a conventional tire at the same air pressure for increased mechanical grip and stability
More support at higher pressures - Even with air pressure increased by 50%, the Radial design is stated to maintain a 15% larger contact area, helping preserve traction when extra support is needed
Closed, round profile with continuous-grip knob layout - Tuned for predictable handling and steady bite on hard-packed terrain where consistency matters most
Flexible, selective deformation - Overlap and tension characteristics in the carcass are designed to let the tire adapt to trail irregularities without giving up control
Addix Ultra Soft compound - Prioritizes traction for riders who value maximum grip and damping feel over outright longevity
E-50 e-bike rating - Appropriate for e-MTB applications within the defined E-50 speed class, where higher system weight and torque demand a more robust tire choice
