Highlights

  • Radial thread design - More grip, more damping, more control
  • All condition and terrain all-rounder tire for grip and control
  • Small pitch knob pattern and radial carcass enables larger contact area

Description

The Albert tire is Schwalbe's flagship model utilizing their new radial tire technology. This tire features a tread that was designed around the radial tire concept and is a perfect all rounder no matter what conditions you ride in.

 

RADIAL TIRE TECHNOLOGY

The basis for radial tires is the completely rethought construction of the carcass. The carcass threads, which run diagonally across the tire at a 45° angle in conventional bicycle tires, are arranged at a much more obtuse angle in Schwalbe's radial tires. This technology opens up a completely new dimension in the function of bicycle tires.

 

ADVANTAGES OF RADIAL

  • Carcass threads at a more obtuse angle than other tires
  • 30% more contact area with the same air pressure
  • More grip, more damping, more control

 

MORE CONTACT PATCH, MORE GRIP

Due to the blunter angle of the carcass threads, the tire can deform more selectively. As a result, it follows bumps many times better than a bias-ply tire and always maintains contact with the ground. The result: more grip, more comfort and more control off-road. In addition, the contact area increases by approx. 30% with the same air pressure.

 

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BIAS-PLY AND RADIAL TIRES

In a bias-ply tire, the threads of the carcass lie at a 45° angle to the direction of travel. This is the standard construction method for bicycle tires. In radial tires, on the other hand, the threads lie at a 90° angle, but require a so-called belt under the tread. Schwalbe radial tires have a much more obtuse angle than conventional cross-ply tires, but do not require a belt.
