The Schwalbe Albert is the jack of all trades among our trail and enduro tyres. 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!
The Schwalbe Albert is the tyre that started the radial revolution. As the first MTB tyre, Schwalbe built around a radial carcass, it represents a fundamental rethinking of how a mountain bike tyre should work. The carcass threads are woven at a shallower angle than a conventional design, allowing the tyre to conform more precisely to the trail surface at specific points of contact. The result is a larger contact patch, better knob support, and a tread and carcass that work together as a single unit - delivering more grip, more damping and more safety in every condition.
Gravity Pro
For full focus on gravity and maximum
stability, GRAVITY PRO is exactly the right choice. With the latest
technologies for maximum performance and classic carcass construction:
the right choice when minimal rolling resistance and maximum puncture
protection are the focus and you want to forgo the advantages of radial.
Radial Carcass
The carcass material overlaps for a shorter time and with less
tension. As a result, the tyre deforms more selectively and can react
much more flexibly and adaptably to unevenness without sacrificing the
safety factor. The tyre absorbs impact much better and uses the
suspension travel more effectively. It literally sucks itself into the
ground, this applies to both mountain bikes and E-MTBs. Plus radial
tyres offer approximately 30% more contact area than conventional tyres
at the same air pressure.
ADDIX Soft
SOFT is a compound that bridges many disciplines. It's
just as at home in the Enduro and downhill world as it is in the
demanding discipline of all-mountain and trail riding.

Pioneer of the radial revolution: the Albert was the first MTB tyre that Schwalbe introduced with a radial carcass, completely rethinking how a mountain bike tyre interacts with the trail
Superior ground contact: the radial carcass conforms to the trail surface like no previous design, increasing the contact area and better supporting the knobs for a more planted, connected feel
Tread and carcass as one: the tread pattern and carcass are engineered to work together as a single unit, delivering more grip, more damping and more safety in every situation
Ultra Soft compound: the softer mix for maximum grip and even greater damping, designed for the toughest trail challenges where traction is the absolute priority
Mix and match: combine Albert Soft on the rear and Ultra Soft on the front to tune your setup precisely - both compounds perform in winter conditions
Gravity Pro construction: the most robust casing in the
Albert range, with an additional casing layer for extra stability and
enhanced puncture protection - ideal for heavier bikes or more
aggressive riding
APEX puncture protection: additional fabric reinforcement at the tread base delivers maximum resistance against cuts and punctures on sharp and rocky terrain
Radial technology explained: carcass threads woven at a shallower angle allow the tyre to conform more precisely at specific points of contact, increasing the contact patch and translating directly into more grip, more cushioning and more safety
