Let’s face it, there are a ton of tire choices out there today and with so many models, compounds, and sizes, it’s hard to narrow it down. The German tire gurus at Schwalbe make a tire for just about any situation, even wheelchair and snow spiked treads! In this video, we’ll focus on Schwalbe’s six most popular MTB trail tires and more specifically, their strengths and weaknesses. Between the Thunder Burt, Racing Ralph, Rocket Ron, Hans Dampf, Nobby Nic, and the Magic Mary, we’re here to help you find the right tire for the job.

Western Pennsylvania. Hauns dauf front. Nobby nic rear. Soft front. Medium rear
Go Michelin Wild Enduro! Magi-x compound… INSANE GRIP
For XC i run Schwalbe Nobby Nic an for Enduro Maxxis Minions
love how you make a vid about shwalbe tires yet the bike behind you has minions
I use Schwalbe enduro combo, Magic Mary Front and Hans Dampf Rear, Addix Soft .
I started with Schwalbe Magic Mary and Hans Dampf. But now I feel the Magic Mary and Nobby Nic combo is the right choice for me. And nice presentation.
The best schwalbe is the “maxxis minion dhf-r”
Great review Jeff and great tshirt where can i nik one from??Maxis icon , adrent – Schwalbe just like you mentioned for XC
Cant choose my favourite brand between maxxis, schwalbe and continental. Right now i am running magic mary front and conti trail king 2.4 rear
Maxxis need to get their measures right. Their 2.5 is smaller then 2.35 etc. Scwhalbe on the other hand is often wider then they claim.
Continental Baron and Kaiser for me.
Great video
Are we going to something similar but with continental tires?
I’ve ridden Schwalbe, Maxxis and Bontrager and to date I liked them all.
Hans Dampf fr/rr combo-trailstar/pacestar. I have had great luck on 3 sets, but do plan on trying the DHF/Aggressor combo in the future. Great vids; keep em’ coming!!!
Round and Knobby!
Nobby Nic all day long… Awesome tire!
My experience with Schwalbe is limited to Racing Ralph, and with those I experienced constant pinch flats and sidewall tears here in rocky, rooty upstate NY on a hard tail with agressive XC/Trail riding. Switched to Maxxis Ardent and Minion DHF and haven’t had a flat in over two years, running tubeless. Grip has been amazing on the DHF front and decent on the Ardent rear. Would love to hear any compelling arguments for Schwalbe in these conditions. For the time being I’m completely sold on Maxxis.
I run 2 magic Mary’s, super gravity, trailstar on my 120 travel trail bike where i ride on an high school xc team
I just got myself a magic Mary and a rock razor, haven’t ridden them much yet but im already impressed, I’d get to somewhere a bit damp and get cautious but the Mary just seems to find loads of grip where my old mavic crossroc pulses couldn’t.
Any chance you open a shop or a warehouse for EU?
Im running nobby nics and smart sam on both my bikes full sus is the nobby nics and my hardtail smart sam tires
I like Continental. Currently using Trail Kings. One thing I would like the online retailers to do is put the Country of Origin in their descriptions. WC does a great job with the “Item Specifications” grid which is a perfect spot for COO. There is a difference between the German made Continental’s versus the Chinese made. I’m willing to pay the premium for the better, German made tire. Thanks guys and another great video.
Can you do this type of video for Vittoria?
Schwalbe Tyres are pretty good tires..BUT: When they come with your new bike, rip them off. OEM Schwalbes are really bad. Tubeless isn‘t working at all, Hans Dampf wears out very quick…
I run high rollers front and back but got a magic mary in the sale to try out when winter comes
You always have great topics and cover them thoroughly. I run the Magic Mary’s. When my other friends are catching flats and are washing out through turns I on the other hand am having no problems. Now when it comes to speed and roll resistance I’m in the back of the pack.. P. S. Great looking tire..
You forgot to talk about the different cases and compounds by the way 🙂
I run schwalbe marathon … ups wrong channel
RE Sum 41: Only if I’ve had a lot to drink. A LOOOOOOooooooooooTttt
yes thanks for the video that i need. what about combo nobby nic and hans dampf? will it good?
I think u look like JTT from home improvement
I love how all the wheels in the background have Maxxis tires mounted. hahahahaha
As you have mentioned about trying different tyres, I have now gone from Mary front and hans rear to the new Michelin enduro wild gum x front and rear, I just hate Maxxis, have never felt confident with them.
Does a schwalbe hans dampf and magic mary have 29×3.0 size tires? Thanks! =)
Slayer interlude? crikey! I have a Nobby Nic on the back of a hardtail 29er [2.2 I think]
WTB Vigilante Front, Breakout/Trail Boss Rear for me. NorCal. I enjoy all WWC videos. I think you guys are doing great things as a bike shop for the MTB community. Thank you.
Love my schwalbe i run a 2.35 mary up front and a 2.25 nick out back on my 100mm hardtail and love it
When you don’t run Schwalbe tires, but WWC put out a new vid, so you have to watch. I’m a Maxxis guy, but I’d like to try some WTB rubber for sure.
You look more like mid 80’s rod stewart.
I was running hans dampf on the front and rear. I got a gash on the sidewall after only a few months of rididng. Changed to maxxis minion dhf dhr tubeless. Hope to get a few solid years out of them. Nice video though.
Fat Albert? I’ve got them on my Cube and they are good all round (not really a winter tyre)
Currently running a Magic Mary Super Gravity front, Hans Dampf Addix Soft rear. The MM is a year old and as about 5 plugs in it but running strong.
Hans Dampf was just recently mounted but it seems its still a three ride tire. Three rides and the side knobs start peeling like pencil erasers.
