WHY WE RIDE
A tire designed for maximum riding enjoyment, whether going uphill or downhill: With the new Romy, Schwalbe introduces a model that makes choosing the right MTB tire especially easy. As a versatile all-rounder, the Romy is perfect for trail and all-mountain riding.
The Profile
Aggressive shoulder lugs provide more grip in corners and maximum control in any situation. The closely spaced center tread pattern with shallower tread depth gives the tire good rolling performance and high durability. The result is a well-balanced overall tread pattern that optimally combines control and versatility. The Romy is lighter than many enduro tires, yet extremely robust and durable. It is suitable for use on both the front and rear wheels.
"As people age they begin to leave their playfulness behind. As a kid you're always playing but then as an adult sometimes people forget how to play and how important it is to play."
Romy is available in various variations:
Schwalbe Line
TRAIL
For classic trails, the TRAIL version is the best choice. It offers excellent grip and reliable puncture protection at an outstanding value. A unique selling point in the market!
Schwalbe Pro Line
GRAVITY PRO
For bikes geared more toward gravity riding, frequent downhill rides, and plenty of stability, we recommend the GRAVITY PRO ROMY
TRAIL PRO
Compared to the TRAIL version, the TRAIL PRO offers even greater puncture protection while weighing less. The TRAIL PRO also features the proven Schwalbe APEX. This additional fabric-reinforced protective layer improves stability and significantly increases puncture resistance—without adding extra weight.
RACE PRO
Romy in the RACE PRO version is particularly light and efficient – making it ideal for anyone who wants to ride fast off-road on XC and all-mountain bikes.
Various
models
Romy is the first tire in Schwalbe’s lineup to be available in a 2.4-inch radial version, following the introduction of the Albert and Shredda tires in 2.5- and 2.6-inch sizes. With the Romy, mountain bikers now have a choice between two casing constructions:
Radial | DIAGONAL |
Flexible casing with a larger contact patch for improved grip, safety, and shock absorption. Ideal for the most demanding routes | Flexible carcass construction with a robust structure for direct handling and high stability. Ideal for sporty and versatile use. |

Recycled carbon black + fair-trade natural rubber
The Romy also includes recycled carbon black (rCB) from the Schwalbe recycling system – as in around 70 % of our tire range. The production of rCB generates around 73 % fewer greenhouse gas emissions (GWP100) than that of fossil carbon black, calculated according to ISO 14040/14044/14067.
All PRO versions also include fair-trade natural rubber (Fair Rubber e. V.). The fair-trade rubber is allocated across the supply chain based on the mass balance rather than physically to the individual tires. For every kilogram of fair-trade natural rubber, Schwalbe pays a 50 cent premium direct to certified small farmers which they are free to decide how to use.
