Schwalbe Magic Mary Gravity Soft TLR Tyre

The Schwalbe Magic Mary Gravity Soft TLR Tyre is a gravity-focused mountain bike tyre built for dependable grip, strong puncture protection, and consistent control across mixed trail conditions. Its Gravity construction gives the tyre high stability for hard riding, while the open intermediate tread delivers reliable traction on soft ground and hardpack alike. Large side knobs improve cornering grip, V-Groove technology helps the tread bite deeper into the trail surface, and the ADDIX Soft compound balances grip, durability, and rolling speed for enduro, downhill, trail, and E-MTB use.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Gravity construction: This reinforced casing is designed for demanding downhill and enduro riding where tyre stability and puncture resistance are critical. The stronger structure reduces tyre flex under load, improves support during aggressive cornering, and helps protect against cuts and pinch flats on rough terrain. This leads to more consistent handling and fewer interruptions from tyre damage on technical trails.
• ADDIX Soft compound: Schwalbe’s ADDIX Soft rubber blend balances grip, rolling efficiency, and durability across a wide range of riding conditions. The compound creates strong traction on wet roots, loose dirt, rocks, and hardpack without excessive drag. This gives riders reliable control on descents while maintaining enough rolling speed for climbing and linking sections of trail.
• Open intermediate tread design: The tread pattern uses widely spaced knobs to clear mud and maintain traction in changing conditions while still performing well on firmer surfaces. This allows the tyre to adapt quickly between soft ground, loose terrain, and compact trails without losing grip consistency. The result is dependable handling across varied riding environments.
• Large angled side knobs: The shoulder knobs are heavily supported and shaped to bite firmly into the trail during cornering. Their size and placement improve side grip when leaning the bike through loose turns or rough berms. This increases cornering confidence and helps maintain line accuracy at higher speeds.
• V-Groove technology: Small slits built into the tread knobs allow the rubber to flex and interlock more effectively with uneven trail surfaces. This improves contact with rocks, roots, and loose terrain while sharpening steering feedback. The outcome is more predictable grip and improved control during technical riding.
• Angled centre knobs: The centre tread blocks are shaped to balance rolling speed with braking traction. Their angled design reduces rolling resistance between braking zones while still delivering strong stopping power under heavy braking. This helps riders maintain momentum without sacrificing control on steep descents.
• Tubeless Ready design: The TLR casing allows the tyre to run tubeless with compatible rims and sealant. Tubeless setups reduce the risk of pinch flats, support lower tyre pressures for improved grip, and can lower rolling resistance compared to traditional inner tubes. This creates a smoother and more controlled ride on rough terrain.
• Fair trade and recycled materials: The tyre uses fairly traded natural rubber and recycled carbon black from Schwalbe’s tyre recycling programme. The recycled carbon black reduces CO2 equivalent emissions by 80% compared to conventional production methods, while Fair Rubber payments support certified smallholders directly. This provides a more responsible manufacturing approach without reducing tyre performance.

Control matters most when trails become rough, loose, or unpredictable, and the Magic Mary Gravity Soft TLR Tyre is built around that priority. The combination of the Gravity casing, open tread layout, and supported side knobs creates stable handling under braking and through corners. V-Groove technology increases surface contact for more accurate steering feedback, while the ADDIX Soft compound keeps traction consistent across wet roots, rocks, hardpack, and softer ground. Its broad compatibility also makes it suitable for downhill, enduro, trail, all-mountain, and E-MTB setups, whether used front or rear.

For riders who want dependable grip, strong casing support, and reliable performance across changing trail conditions, the Schwalbe Magic Mary Gravity Soft TLR Tyre remains one of the most trusted choices available. Its proven tread design, durable construction, and predictable handling make it well suited to regular gravity riding and demanding terrain.
