The Schwalbe Tacky Chan Radial is a high-performance gravity MTB tyre developed for maximum cornering grip, powerful braking traction and speed on demanding downhill and enduro terrain.
Developed through World Cup downhill racing, the Tacky Chan combines an aggressive, fast-rolling tread pattern with Schwalbe's Radial casing technology for increased trail contact, improved damping and greater control through rough and technical terrain.
This 29 x 2.50" version combines Schwalbe's tough Gravity Pro casing with the maximum-grip Ultra Soft compound, making it the choice for riders who prioritise outright descending performance, traction and control.

Schwalbe's Radial construction allows the tyre to conform more effectively to the terrain, helping more of the tread remain in contact with the ground.
Schwalbe states that its Radial construction provides approximately 30% more contact area at the same tyre pressurecompared with its conventional casing construction. This increased contact patch provides greater grip, damping and control through technical terrain.
The Gravity Pro casing is designed to provide maximum stability and protection for demanding gravity riding. It offers the casing support needed for high-speed cornering, hard impacts and aggressive descending.
Combined with Schwalbe's Ultra Soft compound, this version prioritises maximum grip and damping over rolling efficiency and tread life.
For riders chasing outright downhill performance, this is the most aggressive Tacky Chan Radial combination.
The Tacky Chan was developed around the demands of World Cup downhill racing.
Long braking edges generate powerful braking traction, while the open shoulder area provides predictable cornering feedback and effective self-cleaning. Ramped centre knobs help maintain rolling speed between technical sections.
The result is a tyre designed to combine maximum cornering grip and braking traction with impressive rolling performance.
