Built from World Cup downhill racing and refined for aggressive trail riding, the Schwalbe Tacky Chan is designed to deliver precision, speed, and confidence when the terrain gets rough. Its updated tread layout combines ramped center knobs for faster rolling with reinforced shoulder lugs that bite hard in corners, giving you a controlled and predictable feel at high speeds.

• Optimized tread layout improves stability under hard braking and keeps the tire predictable when leaning into corners at speed
• Designed to roll faster than traditional downhill tires while still delivering the grip needed for aggressive riding
• Radial construction increases contact with the ground, improving comfort, traction, and control over roots, rocks, and rough terrain

Radial

Schwalbe Radial technology rethinks how a tire connects to the trail by changing the internal casing structure. Instead of traditional 45° thread angles, the fibers are arranged much closer to perpendicular, allowing the tire to deform more precisely and stay in contact with the ground over rough terrain. This results in a larger contact patch, improved grip, better damping, and a smoother, more controlled ride feel, especially on technical trails where traction and consistency matter most.

Compound

• ADDIX ULTRA SOFT is built for full commitment riding in enduro and downhill conditions, delivering exceptional grip and damping on rough terrain. Compared to previous compounds, it offers improved control and remains consistent in colder temperatures, making it a reliable choice for year-round performance when traction is critical.
• ADDIX SOFT strikes a balance between grip, durability, and rolling speed, making it a versatile option across trail, all-mountain, and gravity riding. It works well on its own or as part of a mixed setup, allowing riders to tune their tires for either faster rolling or increased traction, depending on front and rear combinations.
