The new Albert is an all-round enduro and trail tyre that suits most riding conditions and is available in popular sizes. With a choice of the tough Gravity carcase or the lighter faster rolling Trail carcase and either Soft or Ultra Soft compounds, there is an Albert to suit most trail and enduro riders. The relatively close centre tread blocks provide plenty of rubber contact with hard-packed surfaces, whilst the more aggressive shoulder blocks provide plenty of bite when lent over and cornering at speed.

The new Albert features the new Schwalbe radial carcase construction, taking its performance to another level. The radial construction allows for a much greater degree of flexibility within the carcase so the tyre can conform to the trail irregularities much better than a conventionally constructed tyre. This means that higher pressures can be run to provide better pinch-flat protection whilst still providing greater compliance for much improved levels of grip and damping.

Suitable for MTB and E-MTB bikes. Made with recycled carbon black.

**The Radial Revolution!

**More Grip, more smooth, more performance, more fun...

Schwalbe's new radial construction is a revolution in mountain bike tyre design. With a completely new approach to the carcase construction the threads, which run diagonally across the tyre at a 45° angle in conventional bicycle tyres, are arranged at a much more obtuse angle in the Schwalbe radial tyres. The carcass material overlaps for a shorter time and with less tension. As a result, the tyre deforms more selectively and can react much more flexibly to unevenness in the trail surface. Radial tyres offer around 30% more contact area than conventional tyres at the same air pressure. Even if the air pressure is increased by 50%, the contact area is still 15% larger.

The increased contact area and the more flexible response behaviour provide significantly more grip, more damping, more safety and more comfort. The tyre absorbs impacts better and uses the suspension travel more effectively - it literally sucks itself into the ground. This applies to both mountain bikes and e-MTBs, which provide significantly more traction on the ground with radial tyres.
