Schnavel Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 I'm riding the rocket ron front and racing ralph rear, works for me and has been for years. My next set of tyres will probably be the Vittoria Barzo / Saguara combo from bike addict. They are selling at a great price and have stronger side walls than the Schwables, although, they do weigh a bit more.

Paulst12 Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Racing Ralph front and rear... sorted for speed and gripOther combo is Specialized Fast Track GRID tyre... they have finally taken a leaf from Schwalbe and fixed the sidewall issues... this one works really well
DieselnDust Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Fixed it for you Not just the weight but the Barzo doesn't have a much grip as it's tread and rubber would suggest. Its fine for a month but after that and regular riding the grip falls away to the poin where even a Rocket Ron with Speed Addix Red Compound offers more grip. Maybe it ill ork better on the firmer JHB clay than it does in Cape Town

The Ralph I have not used but I am sure it will be an excellent rear. The Ralph might just not be the longest lasting rear tyre, or any Schwalbe because it is softer rubber.
Mtbiker404 Posted September 29, 2023 Posted September 29, 2023 Just don`t go buy all the Ray stock up now.
