What technology does it use in its construction?
Schwalbe's Tough Tom comes in a K-Guard casing, married to the SBC compound (Schwalbe Basic Compound) for ample protection against punctures, whilst focusing on durability and longevity.
What is the intended use?
Designed for Cross Country and light All Mountain use, this affordable XC tyre delivers a good level of grip and protection across mixture of conditions and rougher trails, without breaking the bank.
Our verdict
A well rounded All Mountain and XC tyre performing on rougher terrains, ideal for front wheel use, with a Rapid Rob on the rear, thanks to the more prominent tread pattern and aggressive shoulder knobs.
