Shopping for mountain bike tires can be confusing, as each tire brand has their own names for the sidewall casings, rubber compounds and tread patterns. Schwalbe's tire naming system is no exception with many options of sidewall and rubber for each tread model, however, it's worth learning how these work to pick tires best suited for how you ride.

In this video, Tor explains Schwalbe's ADDIX rubber compound system which offers ADDIX Speed, Speedgrip, Soft and Ultra Soft, as well as their sidewall casings for trail through DH which are Super Trail, Super Gravity and Super Downhill. He also chats with our master mechanic Russ about our favorite tread patterns known as the Magic Mary, Big Betty, Dirty Dan and Nobby Nic.
