Materials & Construction:

Constructed with Schwalbe's high-performance Addix SpeedGrip compound, the Rick XC Pro ensures exceptional traction and longevity under rigorous riding conditions.

Performance & Engineering:

Built specifically for cross-country racing and trail riding, the Rick XC Pro boasts a carefully engineered tread pattern that balances low rolling resistance with superior grip. The densely packed center knobs minimize friction on hardpack trails, enabling faster speeds and efficient climbing. Meanwhile, aggressive shoulder knobs deliver confident cornering and control on technical sections and loose surfaces. Its tubeless-ready design allows for lower pressures, reducing weight and increasing traction without risking flats.

Components & Technology:

Features Schwalbe's SnakeBite protection technology in the transition zone between tread and sidewalls, offering enhanced resistance to flats caused by snakebites. The tubeless setup (Tubeless-Ready Clincher) improves ride comfort, reduces weight, and allows for more precise tire pressure adjustments. The E-Bike compatible model (E25 rating) ensures reliable performance for e-mountain bikes, handling additional torque efficiently.

With its sleek black and transparent tanwall aesthetic, the Rick XC Pro is as stylish as it is functional. Perfect for cross-country racers, trail explorers, and e-MTB enthusiasts, this tire excels in mixed terrain environments-from smooth singletracks to rocky tech zones.
