Schwalbe Rocket Ron 26

The Rocket Ron is a brilliant race and trail tyre from Schwalbe - light and fast, slightly more bite than a Ralph and nearly as quick - perfect for UK racing and trails.
Use front and rear, or on the front with a Ralph on the back!

Schwalbe say :-

Racers dreams come true. This super lightweight rocket answers almost every demand at one time: Incredible grip with extremely low weight and fully loaded with all the latest technology - 127 EPI Evo Carcass, Triple Nano Compound, U-Blocks forming an open tread that has exceptional self-cleaning properties.

The cheaper Performance Line tyre available has the same pattern as the Evolution line but is not a triple compound tyre.

„This Rocket fulfills racers’ wishes all at once: Low weight and a lot of grip – both straight-line power and traction in curves - and it works just as well in wet or dry conditions. The lugs are widely spaced and provide a great self-cleaning action as with Racing Ralph“, said Schwalbe technician, Markus Hachmeyer. In order to achieve these seemingly opposing characteristics Schwalbe equipped its MTB-Racer with a lot of technical finesse such as: 127 EPI EVO carcass, Triple Nano Compound and bitingly efficient U-Blocks. Schwalbe positioned its new MTB-Racer amongst its two most popular MTB competition tires of the past few years: The grippy Nobby Nic and the fast Racing Ralph. Rocket Ron has a more prominent profile than Racing Ralph, but nonetheless rolls just as easily. Above all: Rocket Ron is an out and out competition tire, so puncture resistance and durability are limited.
