An MTB tire for every situationThe Schwalbe Albert is the jack of all trades among our trail and enduro tires. Whether in competition or on a tour with your mates, on hardpack trails or soft paths: it consistently delivers the grip you need in every terrain and gives you the confidence to try new things. Also suitable for e-MTBs!Pioneer of the radial revolutionThe Albert was the first tire we introduced with the new radial carcass. An MTB tire completely rethought. The carcass conforms to the ground like no other before, increasing the contact area and better supporting the knobs. Tread and carcass always work together as a powerful unit. This brings more grip, more damping, and more safety.More or even more grip with new compoundsWe offer the Albert in different rubber compounds so you can choose the best version for your needs. Soft is the more versatile compound with good rolling properties and balanced damping. Ultra Soft is the softer mix for maximum grip and even more damping for the toughest challenges. You can also combine: Albert Soft on the rear wheel and Ultra Soft on the front wheel. Both compounds are suitable for winter use.
