Schwalbe Tacky Chan Race Pro TLR Tyre

The Schwalbe Tacky Chan Race Pro TLR Tyre is a downhill race tyre built for maximum speed, strong corner grip and high braking traction with low rolling resistance. Its Race Pro construction keeps weight low while maintaining the control needed for aggressive riding and fast race runs. Developed with input from World Cup racing and backed by 17 World Cup wins in two years, the Tacky Chan gives precise handling, stable corner support and reliable braking performance across demanding terrain. The tubeless ready design also improves puncture control and allows lower pressures for added grip and stability.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Race Pro construction: This lightweight Race Pro casing is designed to reduce rolling resistance and improve acceleration without losing the support needed for downhill and enduro riding. The lower tyre weight helps reduce rotational mass, which improves climbing efficiency and allows faster speed changes on technical terrain. This gives a faster and more responsive ride feel while helping maintain control during long race stages.
• 10% more stable shoulder lugs than Magic Mary: The reinforced shoulder tread blocks provide stronger support during hard cornering loads, helping the tyre stay planted when leaning into turns at speed. The increased lug stability reduces tread flex and improves edge grip on loose, rough and hard-packed surfaces. This leads to more consistent cornering control and better line accuracy through technical sections.
• Long braking edges: The tread pattern uses extended braking edges to increase tyre contact under braking forces, improving traction when slowing down on steep or loose descents. This helps maintain stability under heavy braking and reduces the chance of losing grip entering corners. The result is later braking points and improved speed control on demanding tracks.
• Tubeless Ready design: The TLR construction allows tubeless setup compatibility, helping reduce the risk of pinch punctures while supporting lower tyre pressures for improved traction. Lower pressures increase ground contact and grip without heavily affecting rolling speed. This creates better stability, improved comfort and more predictable handling on rough terrain.
• Fair trade rubber compound: The tyre uses fairly sourced rubber materials while maintaining the high grip and durability expected from a downhill race tyre. The compound balances rolling speed, traction and wear resistance for regular hard use. This provides dependable performance while supporting more responsible material sourcing.
• E-Bike Ready up to 50kph: The reinforced construction is approved for use on high-speed e-bikes with motor support up to 50kph. The casing and tread are designed to handle higher loads, stronger acceleration forces and increased speeds without compromising stability. This improves reliability and control for riders using powerful e-MTB systems on demanding terrain.

Fast rolling speed and dependable grip are critical for downhill and enduro riding where every second matters. The Tacky Chan Race Pro balances low rolling resistance with strong braking traction and stable corner support, helping maintain speed without reducing control. Its lighter construction improves efficiency on long stages, while the advanced tread layout keeps handling precise across rough and loose terrain. The result is a tyre that performs consistently under race conditions while remaining stable and predictable at high speed.

The Schwalbe Tacky Chan Race Pro TLR Tyre is built for riders who want race-level speed, precise handling and low rolling resistance in one package. Its proven World Cup performance, lightweight design and strong corner support make it a solid choice for aggressive downhill and enduro riding.
