Schwalbe Radial Tyre Range - Front & Rear Sets
The radial carcass is available across three distinct tread patterns. A common professional setup is to run a Gravity Pro on the rear for impact protection and a Trail Pro or Gravity Pro on the front, depending on how much "trail feel" you prefer.
1. The All-Rounder: Schwalbe Albert
The Albert Gravity Pro Radial is the most versatile tyre in the range. It uses a sophisticated 3-2-2-3 block pattern that rolls faster than the Mary but grips significantly better than a traditional Tacky Chan.
Best For: Mixed terrain, hardpack to loose-over-hard, and long days where rolling efficiency matters.
Front/Rear Recommendation: Albert Front & Rear for a fast, "velvet"- smooth ride.
2. The Benchmark: Magic Mary
The Magic Mary Gravity Pro Radial remains the "king of intermediate" terrain. The radial update makes the shoulder knobs feel even more supportive in off-camber sections.
Best For: Technical enduro, bike parks, and unpredictable British weather.
Front/Rear Recommendation: Magic Mary Front (Ultra Soft) paired with an Albert Rear (Soft) for the perfect balance of grip and speed.
3. The Specialist: Shredda
The Shredda Front and Shredda Rear are the "heavy hitters." With 10mm knobs, these are designed to penetrate deep into soft soil.
Best For: Steep loamy tracks, deep mud, and technical e-bike climbing.
Front/Rear Recommendation: Shredda Front & Rear for maximum mechanical traction in soft conditions.
4. Evo Recommendation: Shredda Rear on the Front and /Albert Trail on the rear
Best For: Aggressive Trail riding - ultimate front end grip Ultimate front end grip and decent rolling rear with plenty of grip
Front/Rear Recommendation: Shredda Rear tyre on the front for maximum mechanical traction in soft conditions.
