Overview
This Trail Pro Radial Ultra Soft version keeps the same 29x2.50 Tacky Chan tread but drops to Schwalbe's lighter trail-focused casing while retaining the stickiest compound option. It is meant for riders who want the extra conformity and grip benefits of the radial construction without the full weight and puncture-protection penalty of the Gravity Pro casing. That makes it an interesting choice for aggressive trail and enduro bikes that still want a very high-grip tire feel.
