SchwalbeALBERT TRAIL PRO 29 Inch MTB Tire(Return to Product Page)

The Albert with extra soft compound is great on rocks. It's very sticky, No sliding like my other tires and I am pleased with the wear too. Works great on hard pack. The radial design improved the ride too. These tires really improved my confidence in technical rock sections.

Put a set on my Pivot Shuttle SL when they first came out and loved them. Great grip and I don't notice any rolling resistance but to be fair, they are on my ebikes. Great trail tires! I ordered an Amflow in December and had the tires here before the bike. You can see a review on my Youtube channel @halffasthugo. Ride on!

I ride in the Pacific NW, and on both fast flow trails and steep rooty/rocky tech trails, this tire is a clear step up on cornering traction and resulting confidence. I can lean into these when initiating a turn and they just stick. So far this evaluation is on dry terrain, but where I ride, that's when things are the sketchiest. i notice no downsides including not noticing the weight or supposedly increased rolling resistance. Tires are extra soft trail in front and soft gravity in back, mounted on a big travel trail/enduro bike.

I use it on single track and flow trails. It is the smoothest MTB tire I have ever used. The new technology works as advertised. Dampens bumps and grips like crazy. I absolutely love it.

Traction is hands down the best of any tire I've tried so far and I normally run Maxxis. The radial design compliments the suspension well, they soak up the bumps great.

I've been riding these for about a month now. I don't ride much in the wet but they grip fine when it's wet. On hard pack they have grip for days and they roll over rocks and roots easily'kinda feels like a caterpillar gripping everywhere. The big surprise was how well the climb and how little rolling resistance they have, the weird thing is how oddly quiet they are in the trail. I just bought a set for my wife's bike too, that speaks volumes.

Installation is the same as other tires. It's less noisey when riding. Significantly holds the line better than my other tires (Assegai, Minion DHF). Didn't show abnormal wear. Gives a better sense of confidence.

Awesome grip with good comfort

Live these radial tires! Great for Northern California conditions which are generally loose over hard. Been using them for months with average wear. Suggest inflating to your normal pressures first and slowly inflating over time until you find your 'sweet spot' of traction and performance. I found about what 4-5psi over what I normally ride works best for me. I went with a Ultra-soft /purple in the front and soft / orange In the rear and will probably get the same combo as replacement. Will see how it handles in the winter if a Magic Mary may be needed up front, but so far so good!

Tire has excellent grip and conforms well to the trail. Weight is a little porky, but doubt it's really noticeable when pedaling. Tire mounted up tubeless fairly easily with floor pump.
