Overview

Schwalbe Tacky Chan as TRAIL PRO Radial and GRAVITY PRO Radial in 27.5" × 2.50", 29" × 2.50": E-50 e-bike rated, from €78.90 RRP; non-radial versions from €47.90.

Schwalbe bills the Tacky Chan as 'the fastest downhill tire in the world', combining maximum cornering grip and braking traction with low rolling resistance. Schwalbe credits it with 17 World Cup wins in two years, plus Amaury Pierron's 2022 overall title. On Schwalbe's successor list it replaces the Big Betty.

It is offered in RACE PRO, TRAIL, TRAIL PRO, GRAVITY and GRAVITY PRO constructions, plus TRAIL PRO Radial and GRAVITY PRO Radial. Schwalbe says the radial carcass gives a 30 percent larger contact patch at the same pressure. All versions are E-50 rated.
