The name says it all, Racing Ralph: the band from Schwalbe to really race. The tread has a low set of studs. This ensures a low rolling resistance and still enough grip when you need it. The outer studs are used when you throw your bike in the corners. The studs are also a bit higher for that reason, the studs grip the grip.

Performance Line
With intensive use of your tires you get the most value for your money. The rubber compound used in this type of tire is called Dual Compound. Two different rubber compounds ensure optimum performance.

Dual Compound
The Dual Compound means that two kinds of rubber compositions are used. The middle is of a stiffer material for low rolling resistance and long life, the side of a somewhat softer mix for optimal grip. Tires therefore last longer but also offer a little less grip than the Pacestar Compound of the Evolution line.
