⭕ Schwalbe Racing Ralph Evolution XC Tyre
The Schwalbe Racing Ralph Evolution is the dominant front tyre in the XC (cross-country) race segment, specified by Cannondale on the Scalpel Carbon 1, BMC on the Fourstroke, and Scott on the Scale RC. Its fast-rolling diamond-knob centre tread minimises rolling resistance for flat sprint sections while the ramped edge knobs engage on berms and corners. The Racing Ralph's Addix Speed compound (the fastest Schwalbe rubber) combined with an Evo casing (tubeless ready with reinforcement) makes it the XC race tyre of choice for the Bike Worldcup.
