FROM RACETRACK TO HOMETRAIL
AMAURY
I was very fast last season. And I'll be as fast as possible on my bike in the future. To do that, I need a tire that transmits my riding style to the ground more precisely than ever before. Here it is - the new Tacky Chan.
MYRIAM
The precision of the tire is something completely new. We are now using the Tacky Chan for the 3rd World Cup season and have won quite a few medals and an Over All victory with it. I think it is one of the fastest tires ever!
MAXIME
We asked Schwalbe if we could tweak the Big Betty tread a bit because we wanted to know if it was possible to go even sharper. They agreed and so began the joint development process with a result that is second to none.
Now Available in Radial Carcass
While conventional "Diagonal" constructions are arranged at a 45 degree angle, our award winning Radial carcass is layed up at a angle closer to 90 degrees. This change substantially increases the tires contact patch and provides significantly more grip, more damping, more control and more comfort. For the Tacky Chan, the radial execution is exclusive to 2.5" widths and is complemented by a slight tread re-design.
Despite this, some riders still prefer a traditional Diagonal construction. At lower pressures, a diagonal casing provides plenty of resistance on hard surfaces.
Diagonal tread pattern
Closely spaced center knobs for increased support and dynamic cornering. Optimized for the increased support of diagonal carcasses.
Radial tread pattern
Wider spaced tread with a reduced gap in the shoulders for improved intermediate cornering behavior. Especially useful when mounted on the front wheel.
