Schwalbe Shredda Gravity Pro Radial

Unlike standard tires with a cross-ply construction, the radial carcass uses threads at a wider angle. This allows the tire to deform more easily over obstacles, creating a larger, more consistent contact patch that significantly improves grip and dampens trail chatter.

While the Shredda is optimized for gravity-focused riding, its radial construction offers a level of comfort and traction that benefits technical trail riding as well. However, keep in mind that the Addix Ultra Soft compound is designed for maximum grip and will wear faster than harder, cross-country specific rubber.

Yes, the open tread design is specifically engineered to shed mud and debris effectively. It provides reliable traction on soft, loose, or wet surfaces where tighter tread patterns might pack up and lose grip.

This tire is Tubeless Ready (TLR), meaning it is designed to be used without an inner tube when paired with tubeless-compatible rims, sealant, and valves. Using it tubeless is highly recommended to take full advantage of the radial carcass's ability to conform to the terrain at lower pressures.

The 64mm width (ETRTO 64-622) is a standard wide-trail size for 29-inch wheels. Before purchasing, check your frame and fork clearance to ensure you have adequate space for a 2.5-inch tire, accounting for potential mud buildup.
