The Schwalbe Smart Sam 29 Performance Addix tire featured here at Escapa is a versatile MTB tire designed to combine efficient rolling on asphalt and compact trails with secure grip on dirt roads and trails. Its balanced tread pattern makes it an excellent choice for riders who alternate between mountain routes, urban commuting, and mixed-terrain rides. The compact center tread reduces rolling resistance, while the more pronounced side knobs provide traction and stability off-road.
Rapido center tread
The center knobs are arranged compactly to promote a smooth ride on hard surfaces. This configuration helps maintain speed on trails, bike paths, and paved sections, reducing vibrations and the effort required to move forward.
For this reason, the Smart Sam is especially well-suited for routes that combine roads, trails, and paths without the need to change tires.
Reliable Off-Road Grip
The outer knobs feature more pronounced profiles to improve cornering support and provide traction on dirt, gravel, and uneven surfaces. The HS624 tread pattern delivers predictable and balanced performance for recreational and sports use.
The combination of a compact center zone and high-grip shoulders ensures a stable ride on both dry terrain and varied routes.
ADDIX Compound
The ADDIX compound is designed to balance durability, grip, and good rolling properties. It’s engineered to withstand frequent use both on and off the road, maintaining reliable performance throughout its lifespan.
This formulation makes the Smart Sam a great choice for training rides, weekend rides, and bikes regularly used on mixed terrain.
Performance Line Construction
The Performance Line range offers a robust and functional construction for riders seeking reliability and a good balance between performance and price. The 67 EPI casing combines stability and flexibility, while the stiff bead provides a secure fit on the rim. This version features LiteSkin sidewalls, developed to reduce weight and rolling resistance compared to more reinforced constructions.
Compatible with E-25 e-bikes
The tire is certified for E-Bikes with assistance up to 25 km/h. Its construction and compound are well-suited for recreational e-MTBs and e-trekking bikes used on mixed terrain.
