What technology does it use in its construction?
The Hans Dampf from Schwalbe is available in a choice of casings and compounds, tailoring to your style of riding. Super Gravity casing for the aggressive riders, delivering improved puncture protection and robust properties without the weight of a downhill tyre. Super Trail casing offering the perfect blend of lateral stability and compliance you need on the trails. The compounds on offer include Addix Speedgrip, optimised for speed with a universal compound suited toward the All Mountain and trails terrains. Addix Soft for the Downhill and Enduro orientated rider where grip takes priority.
What is the intended use?
The popular Hans Dampf from Schwalbe is supremely versatile tyre at home in a range of applications. Better used within All Mountain, Trail and Enduro disciplines across a mixture of terrains and conditions. Ideal as a rear tyre with somethong more aggressive up front, on the front end paired with a faster rolling tyre on the rear, or as a pair for unparralled predictability and control.
Our verdict
A highly versatile mountain bike tyre in the Schwalbe range, providing ample traction up and down the mountain.
