THE FASTEST DH-TIRE ON EARTH

Developed over two years in the World Cup races, including with DH overall World Cup winner Amaury Pierron.

  • Optimized 100% for precision
  • 10% more stable shoulder lugs compared to the Magic Mary for even more aggressive cornering
  • Long braking edges allow later braking point
  • Open shoulder area provides direct feedback and improves self-cleaning
  • Ramps on center lugs for optimal rolling characteristics
  • On average 8% lighter than Magic Mary
  • Produced with fair trade rubber

COMPOUNDS

  • ADDIX Soft Compound - ADDIX SOFT is a compound that bridges many disciplines. It’s just as at home in the Enduro and downhill world as it is in the demanding discipline of all-mountain and trail riding.
  • ADDIX Ultra Soft Compound - ADDIX ULTRA SOFT is the ADDIX compound for hardcore use in enduro and downhill. It has sensationally good damping properties and also performs perfectly in cold weather.

CASINGS

  • Super Gravity - Go where others dare not to venture . Where the rider and the trail demand everything from the material. Where the bikes have a lot of travel. Right there is the zone for tires with Super Gravity construction.
  • Super Downhill - For the bravest and most aggressive. For those for whom no jump is too big, no descent too steep and no obstacle too large. Made for the Downhill World Cup. Super Downhill stands for uncompromising stability and performance like no other construction.
  • Super Trail - As versatile as a multi-tool: a stable construction, with a range of applications from intense all-mountain and trail rides to enduro use. Ideal for riders riding a medium-travel bike.


STORY

The development process of the Tacky Chan began in close collaboration with the COMMENCAL / MUC-OFF team, who had a vision to create an even better performing tire. To realize this vision, they started by modifying the existing Big Betty tread by hand. With this "Frankenstein" prototype, Amaury Pierron and Thibaut Daprela competed in the 2021 World Cup race in Leogang and both ended up on the podium. This result confirmed their decision to stick with the idea.

Team members and engineers at Schwalbe worked hard to adapt the tire's profile to the specific requirements of downhill racing. They experimented with different cuts and patterns to ensure the best possible traction, control and speed on different surfaces. The race team riders, led by Amaury Pierronand und Myriam Nicole put the modified tire through its paces on various tracks to optimize its performance. The team and Schwalbe created a total of 12 "Big Betty cuts", and sure enough, the Tacky Chan achieved faster speeds while still maintaining higher braking traction.

With each successive race, the improvements to the tire became more apparent. COMMENCAL / MUC-OFF began to collect medals and the new tire became the preferred choice of the riders. The tire ended up contributing to the team winning 24 medals in 2 seasons, a total of 17 World Cup races, and even the Overall World Cup victory in 2022 by Amaury.

The success of the new tire was the result of a close, honest and exciting collaboration between the riders and the developers at Schwalbe. The development process of the Tacky Chan tire was a journey full of challenges, setbacks and many successes. The initial idea resulted in probably the fastest downhill tire in recent years. Schwalbe. Get There.
