Radial tires win an award from Pinkbike

Great recognition for the new MTB radial tires: Pinkbike is so impressed by Schwalbe’s innovative technology that it awards the prestigious "Product of the Year 2024" prize.

The review states: "Schwalbe doesn’t just think outside the box, they changed the box itself."

Advantages of radial tires

What do "radial tires" mean?

The foundation is the completely new carcass construction. The threads in the carcass, which in standard bicycle tires run diagonally at a 45° angle, are at a significantly blunter angle in Schwalbe's radial tires. This technology opens a whole new dimension in bicycle tires.

Structure of radial tires

With radial tires, Schwalbe is turning the MTB world upside down. They asked themselves: How can we make the best use of the limited contact area of the tire? The foundation is the completely new carcass construction. The threads in the carcass, which in standard bicycle tires run diagonally at a 45° angle, are at a significantly blunter angle in radial tires. This technology opens a whole new dimension in the functioning of bicycle tires.
