Description

With the extra weight and power output of e-bikes, tyres are one of the most important updates that need to be made to combat the higher forces put through the rubber and into the dirt.
For an e-bike, rolling resistance isn't exactly a worry, so why not just make something as grippy and strong as you can, right? That's exactly what Schwalbe have gone for here.
With a front and rear specific tread pattern, they have optimised the tyre for maximum strength and grip. You've NEVER seen a tyre quite like these!

Who's this for: E-bike riders wanting a tyre that can withstand the pure punishment a big burly e-bike can dish out. The rear version is also fantastic for enduro or DH riders wanting superior reliability and casing durability.

Suggested terrain: With it's large, square block pattern tread, both the Front and Rear tyres work well on pretty much any terrain. The only area where they suffer a little bit, is in really hardpack dirt. Due to the shear surface area and support of each knob, you won't get any squirm, they'll just be slow (but that's what the motor is for!)

Which wheel: Both versions have the same Super Gravity casing, reinforced folding bead, and Soft rubber compound. It's the tread pattern that differs between them.
Front: The Front version is a channelled design with large supported side knobs for aggressive cornering. There is an alternating intermediate knob to help in situations when you need to lean the bike, but not so far as to engage the full side knobs, this improves predictability. There are no ramps here, so there's a huge amount of bite into the dirt.
Rear: The are more knobs on the rear, and rather than a channelled design, they've gone for an intermediate pattern with more knobs between the centre and side lugs. Coupled with more rubber, the knobs are even longer on the rear. This aids in climbing traction particularly, so when powering up the steepest, loosest climbs, you're pretty much guaranteed to never slip a wheel.

Rim width: All versions of the tyre are rated for rims 30-40mm wide.

Weight:
FRONT
27.5x2.8 - 1350g
29x2.4 - 1250g
29x2.6 - 1350g

REAR
27.5x2.8 - 1350g
29x2.6 - 1415g

Pros: Insane amounts of traction, support, and strength in just about all conditions.

Cons: They're DAMN heavy.

    Schwalbe Eddy eBike Rear Tyre

    Every Schwalbe tyre I have purchased over the years has been awesome, but to know they have an e-specific is great - so far so good, as I land at all sorts of strange angles, due to being half blind one side!

    Superior grip

    This tyre is superior over my original rear tyre on my turbo lev. The grip is excellent in the soft ground and rides well on hard packed surfaces. The major difference I have noticed over the original tyre is the sidewall strength. . The original tyre always felt like the rear was rolling on the rim when corning but not with this one.

    Awesomeness

    Amazing tyre. Super grippy in the dirt. Very happy with it. I did originally want the Dirty Betty, which is what I was replacing, but couldn’t source one anywhere in Australia. This is Eddy Current is probably a bit better. Great service as usual from MTB Direct. So happy days 🤙🏼

    Purpose Built

    I’ve ridden mountain bikes for a long time

    Recently bought an e-bike which has reignited the FUN FACTOR

    However e-bike’s delivery a new set of challenges to components

    Schwalbe has developed a great tyre to withstand one of these challenges

    I didn’t need tyres yet, however MTB Direct had an offer I couldn’t refuse - the first set was also from them

    Schwalbe have done their homework building these hoops

    I’m no expert but I recommend you visit their site for the specification details

    What I can tell you as the tyres are GREAT in the conditions I ride

    I had wheels built for my bike and they indicated running tyre inserts for tubeless wasn’t necessary

    This is why I chose Schwalbe because this tyre is e-bike specific

    I’ve sorted my tyre pressure and I can say without reservation this tyre ploughs through mud

    Honestly I had trouble believing what I was riding through

    To any Mum or Dad who say you shouldn’t play in the dirt

    I say Schwalbe has a different idea and should try them

    Cheers
