A perennial favorite with excellent all-round properties, the Smart Sam from Schwalbe for the 2024 model year features a modern tread pattern that works very well both off-road and on the road. Narrow lugs, which are arranged transversely and longitudinally on the compact center bar of the tread, ensure excellent ground contact and efficient rolling of the MTB clincher tire. In combination with the angular outer lugs, the tread provides high grip and cornering safety - even on loose surfaces. A perfect compromise for all those who frequently switch between road and off-road on their MTB. Schwalbe has also thought about the users of motorized bikes. The Smart Sam is certified according to ECE-R75 and is therefore also suitable for S-pedelecs and e-bikes with pedal assistance up to 50 km/h. Schwalbe has equipped the Smart Sam with the proven ADDIX Performance rubber compound so that the tire can not only roll fast, but also offers balanced handling. This impresses with its high durability, good damping properties and excellent grip. No half measures have been taken in terms of puncture protection either: a layer of all-round snake-skin fabric and additional double-layered polyamide fabric (RaceGuard) under the tread make the tire very resistant to punctures. The tire also has reflective strips on the sidewalls, which can increase passive safety by improving visibility in dark lighting conditions. One for all.
