Schwalbe Shredda Front Gravity Pro Radial Tyre
The Schwalbe Shredda Front isn't just a new tread; it's a new way for a tyre to interact with the earth. By utilising a Radial carcass—where the threads run at an obtuse angle (90°)—the tyre becomes far more supple under impact. This allows the massive 10mm shoulder knobs to "suck" into the ground, conforming to obstacles instead of bouncing off them.
The tread pattern is unashamedly aggressive, featuring a repeating 2-2 block layout with significant spacing to instantly clear mud. This "meaty" design is specifically tuned for the front wheel to provide maximum braking traction and steering precision in soft or "sopping wet" conditions. When paired with the Addix Ultra Soft compound, it offers a "slurpy," dampened feel that keeps the bike planted on even the most chaotic trails.
The Shredda Front is a specialised tool. Because of the incredible height of the knobs and the suppleness of the radial casing, it can feel "squirmy" on hard-packed fire roads or tarmac. It is best reserved for soft dirt, mud, and loam. For the ultimate "gravity" setup, pair this with a Shredda Rear Gravity Pro to ensure your back wheel has the same "scooping" power on steep climbs.
Radial Carcass Advantage: Offers a 30% larger contact patch at the same pressure as a traditional tyre, significantly increasing braking and cornering control.
Deepest Ever Tread: Features 10mm shoulder knobs and 8mm centre knobs for maximum "interlocking" with soft soil and loam.
Addix Ultra Soft Compound: Schwalbe’s tackiest rubber provides extreme damping and stays flexible even in freezing winter conditions.
E-50 Certification: Reinforced to handle the extreme weight and torque of high-performance e-MTBs, rated for speeds up to 50km/h.
Gravity Pro Construction: A burly, 4-layer casing that provides professional-level puncture protection without needing a heavy wire bead.
