Tacky Chan 27.5" x 2.5" Radial Tire

The Schwalbe Tacky Chan is built for pure downhill performance, now available with Schwalbe’s radial construction for increased grip, control, and ride feel. Developed and proven on the World Cup circuit, it’s designed for precision handling at speed, with a refined profile that improves contact with the ground and delivers more predictable traction in aggressive terrain.

The updated radial carcass allows the tire to conform more effectively to the trail, increasing damping and stability when pushing hard into corners or braking late. Compared to the Magic Mary, the Tacky Chan features more stable shoulder lugs for stronger cornering support, along with extended braking edges that allow for more controlled, aggressive deceleration.

Its open shoulder design enhances feedback and self-cleaning in loose conditions, while ramped center lugs help maintain rolling speed. The result is a tire that balances maximum control with surprising efficiency for a downhill-focused tread.
