Albert 29" x 2.5" Radial Tire
The Albert tire is Schwalbe's flagship model utilizing their new radial tire technology. This tire features a tread that was designed around the radial tire concept and is a perfect all rounder no matter what conditions you ride in.
Ā
RADIAL TIRE TECHNOLOGY
The basis for radial tires is the completely rethought construction of the carcass. The carcass threads, which run diagonally across the tire at a 45Ā° angle in conventional bicycle tires, are arranged at a much more obtuse angle in Schwalbe'sĀ radial tires. This technology opens up a completely new dimension in the function of bicycle tires.
Ā
ADVANTAGES OF RADIAL
- Carcass threads at a more obtuse angle than other tires
- 30% more contact area with the same air pressure
- More grip, more damping, more control
Ā
MORE CONTACT PATCH, MORE GRIP
Due to the blunter angle of the carcass threads, the tire can deform more selectively. As a result, it follows bumps many times better than a bias-ply tire and always maintains contact with the ground. The result: more grip, more comfort and more control off-road. In addition, the contact area increases by approx. 30% with the same air pressure.
Ā
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BIAS-PLY AND RADIAL TIRES
In a bias-ply tire, the threads of the carcass lie at a 45Ā° angle to the direction of travel. This is the standard construction method for bicycle tires. In radial tires, on the other hand, the threads lie at a 90Ā° angle, but require a so-called belt under the tread. Schwalbe radial tires have a much more obtuse angle than conventional cross-ply tires, but do not require a belt.
