Schwalbe Smart Sam Performance RaceGuard DD E-50 Reflex MTB Clincher Tyre

The Smart Sam from Schwalbe for the 2024 model year is an all-time favourite with excellent all-round properties and a modern tread pattern that works very well both off-road and on the road. Closely spaced knobs, which are arranged crosswise and lengthwise on the compact centre bar of the tread, ensure excellent ground contact and efficient rolling of the MTB clincher tyre. In combination with angular outer knobs, the tread pattern provides high grip and cornering safety even on loose surfaces. A perfect compromise for all those who frequently switch between road and off-road with their MTB. With this tyre, Schwalbe has also thought about the users of motorised bicycles. The Smart Sam is certified in accordance with ECE-R75 and therefore also suitable for S-pedelecs and e-bikes with pedal assist up to 50 km/h.

Schwalbe has equipped the Smart Sam with the proven ADDIX Performance rubber compound to ensure that the tyre not only rolls fast, but also offers balanced handling. This impresses with high durability, good damping properties and outstanding grip. When it comes to puncture protection, there were also no half measures taken: A layer of snake-skin fabric that runs all around and additional double-layered polyamide fabric (RaceGuard) under the tread make the tyre highly resistant to punctures. In addition, the tyre has reflective strips on the sidewalls, which can increase passive safety by improving visibility in dark lighting conditions.

This way, the Schwalbe Smart Sam combines the most important properties for varied on- and off-road tours, making it an excellent all-rounder for MTBs.
