Rocket Ron HS 406

Every racers’ dream come true. This super light ‚Rocket’ answers almost every demand at one time: Incredible grip with extremely low weight and fully loaded with all the latest technology – 127-Evo-carcass, Triple Nano Compound, U-Blocks forming an open tread that has exceptional self-cleaning properties. The Countdown begins!

"This tire has awesome grip, both straight line and in curves. It works as well in wet conditions as it does in dry. The blocks are further apart than on the Racing Ralph, yet it runs just as well."


NOTE: This is an out and out competition tire! Puncture protection and durability are limited!

NOTE: When converting light weight tubeless-ready MTB racing tires to tubeless, the process can
take up to 3 days of consistent sealing and sealant will seep from the sidewalls of the tires.
LIGHTWEIGHT MTB racing tires are inherently thin in the sidewalls and will require extra care.
Do NOT exceed 35 PSI on tubeless applications!!

Have had 0 problems with running this tire tubeless on tubeless wheelset. Fast and sticks great, gets a little loose down at 15psi (dont ask forgot the pump at home).

Great fast tire

Durability, meh. But the grip and the speed are way up. These came on Breezer Lightning and I was a bit skeptical at first. But they have handled Midwest riding better than I thought. Excellent in the twisty stuff and very stable on descents. They also handle sandy sections as well as can be expected... I have never felt like I was going to completely lose it in the sand.

Between a great handling bike and a great set of tires I feel like I own the trails and I know the combination has saved my butt more than once.

I am not going to jinx myself so I won't say anything about punctures but I have been through some pretty rocky stuff and so far so good. I am wearing out the tread but I also ride three miles on the road to the trailhead. And after two full seasons of doing that they are holding up as well as I would expect.

All in all Schwalbe has won me over and I will replace the Rockets with another set of Rockets!
