Meet The New Wicked Will
Schwalbe's newly redesigned Wicked Will has been reborn as an all-purpose trail tire, the new Wicked Will isn't quite XC, and it's not full-on Enduro. Which is exactly the point.
The new Wicked Will slots in between the Racing Ralph and the Nobby Nic. Combining the tread depth of an XC tire with the block shaping, siping, and proportions of a more aggressive tire, you end up with the Goldilocks of trail tires – fast enough for XC use, but enough grip for more aggressive riding.
The secret is in the "semi-ramped" knobs. The center tread blocks are ramped, but those ramps are interrupted, meaning that there is a gap between the two ramp edges. This still allows for a fast rolling, ramped tire, but when you're leaning the tire over, those interrupted ramps provide added lateral transitional grip.
The design also features heavy siping on every tread block. This gives you as many working edges as possible, again enhancing grip for acceleration, braking, and cornering depending on the angle of the siping.
Features:
- 29" tubeless ready folding bead clincher tire
- Fast-rolling semi-ramped center knobs with grippier transition lugs for cornering
- Aggressively siped knobs on all surfaces for superior grip in all terrain
- Available in Super Race, Super Ground, or Super Trail casing
- Available in 2.4" or 2.6" tire width
- Addix Speedgrip compound
- Weight: 814 grams (2.4" SuperRace casing)

Reviews
I replaced A Rock Razor with Wicked Will on the rear of a Tallboy. I felt I needed more grip particularly for braking. I�m very happy with the result. I have better braking and cornering without any noticeable increase in rolling resistance.
Great tire for the rear, very similar pattern to the Nobby Nick. Just wish the soft compound for the front was available for those seeking replacements for their Scott and Canyon bikes. I have two Wicked Will Super Ground in the speed grip compound to replace some well loved Super Race in mixed compounds of Speed Grip in the back and Soft (orange in the front) that came stock on my bike. The Super Ground have stiffer side wall between Super Race and Super Trail depending on what terrain you hit with your bike it is a great tweener tire of the 3 types. It is only slightly heavier than the Super Race with more side wall protection and you can really run the pressures low on this tire. 21 PSI rear and 19 front is how I am currently running it for my area. Schwalbe only sells these currently to OEMs and not direct to consumer. :( Great fast rolling tires for dry, hardpacked to hero dirt conditions. If it gets wet/muddy it may be good to switch to a Magic Mary front in soft or ultrasoft compound for some extra grip and mud shedding its a great combo if you are mostly heading downhill in the wet and sticky. For cross country and general trail riding Wicked Will is holding up great and really bites into corners and provides great uphill grip for the trails in my area.
