The casing on this tyre features a steeper casing angle, which makes it more flexible and supple for enhanced grip and traction. The tread uses a specific knob arrangement to lower rolling resistance, while shoulder lugs increase cornering grip, allowing this tyre to keep grip and climb smoothly in harsh conditions. Technologies: Tubeless Technology: Friction between the tyre and tube is now a thing of the past. This crucially reduces the rolling resistance. It is even smaller than with super light competition tyres. With tubeless, you can ride with less air pressure without restrictions to performance! This brings noticeable advantages in comfort, but also significantly more control in critical situations and on poor routes. Tubeless systems provide very high puncture protection. Sudden air loss due to bursting tubes or valves tearing is ruled out. At the same time, a puncture protection fluid seals incisions within a tenth of a second, during the ride.
Schwalbe Racing Ralph Tubeless Ready TyreDesigned for cross-country (XC), marathon riding and road racing, this Tubeless Ready Tyre from Schwalbe is ready for the challenge. Featuring an Addix Performance compound for enhanced durability, this lightweight race-ready tyre offers exceptional performance for a variety of cycling disciplines. Speed and Cornering GripThe steeper casing angle makes the tyre more flexible and supple, which creates a better tyre profile for enhanced grip and traction. The centre lug height and knob arrangement are designed for lower rolling resistance and the shoulder lugs have a serrated surface to provide superb cornering grip and stability. You'll notice the tyre's specialised grip clearest on off-camber and demanding trail surfaces.Here is a comparison between the ADDIX compounds that shows how they improve performance in relation to the VertStar, TrailStar and PaceStar Compounds.Features:Compound: Addix PerformanceSkin: TwinCasing: 67 TPIRecommended Pressure: 26-54 psiTyre Bead: FoldingUse: Cross-Country (XC)Type: Tubeless ReadyTubeless Compatible: YesSize/Width: 27.5"/2.25"; 29"/2.25"Weight: 27.5": 660g; 29": 735gTechnologies:Tubeless Technology: Friction between the tyre and tube is now a thing of the past.

The Shimano M9120 XTR ergonomic, powerful and compact Servo-Wave XTR hydraulic disc brake lever is performance optimized with full adjustability on the fly.Short stroke Servo-Wave mechanism with SIL-TEC coated roller for a quick, smooth pad engagement and more power for aggressive riding.Adjustable free stroke enables you to fine tune the amount of lever pull before pad and rotor engagementSecond braced bar contact point for increased master cylinder and lever rigidityEasy access no tools lever reach adjustment dial for custom lever feel and positionLightweight, strong and durable forged alloy one piece body is also rigid under hard braking loadsIntegrated inline barrel master reservoir with easy bleed portMineral oil brake fluidHinged clamp for quick installationI-spec-EV compatibleExcellent clearance at the caliper has enabled Shimano to use a short stroke Servo-Wave mechanism. As the brake lever is pulled a cam linkage enables rapid pad to rotor engagement, at the point of contact the cam moves across multiplying the leverage ratio and increasing the stopping power. A forged alloy short 14 mm wide brake lever with textured finish for optimum strength, grip and reliability and the ergonomic pivot position for efficient and powerful braking follows a natural pulling arc.

Instead of telling gravel riders what they needed, we asked them what they wanted. Shimano spent two years listening and countless hours speaking with gravel enthusiasts from all over the world. We took to dirt and gravel roads, narrow singletrack paths, creek crossings, and mountain passes to test ourselves and our notions of drop bar cycling. We pinned on race numbers and packed up bikepacking bags. We choked on dust and reveled in mud. And the result of all that riding and all those new friendships? First, Shimano’s Gravel Alliance and now, Shimano GRX, the world’s first dedicated gravel component series.Choice. Shimano’s new GRX line is all about choice. Shimano doesn’t want to pigeonhole the way you ride, or decide for you what the best solution is for your riding style. While we’ve long been fans of double chainring drivetrains, we also recognize the value of a single chainring system. With GRX, Shimano offers both, each with gearing options that allow you to tailor your drivetrain to suit your tastes.With two different derailleur cage lengths, Shimano GRX ensures stable shifting and chain retention across a wide range of gearing options. Looking for maximum range while maintaining road cassette progression? Go with GRX’s 800 series 2x11 RD-RX810 or Di2 RD- RX815 rear derailleurs, designed for close ratio clusters, with 48/31 chainrings and an 11-34 cassette. Paired with 700c x 40mm tires, it delivers a top gear similar to a road bike with 25mm tires and a 50 x 11 gear. And on the low end, with its 31 x 34 combination, you get a gear that early mountain bikers would envy. It is the lowest gear currently on offer for premium road drivetrains (aside from Shimano’s own GRX 2x10 30-36 offering), perfect for climbing loose, dirt and gravel surfaces.Want to drop some weight, simplify your shifting, and still maintain a versatile range? Consider the 1x11 GRX option with either Shimano’s 11-40 or 11-42 cassette and a 40 or 42-tooth equipped crankset, shifted by a RD-RX812 or Di2 RD-RX817 wide ratio rear derailleur. You’ll lose a little, absolute top speed, but still love the 1:1 low gear ratio. If you live in an area without sustained or steep climbs, you might love the smaller gear steps of that same 1x11 front chainring with an 11-34 cassette. Options abound.What about when the weather turns autumnal and you contract a case of cyclocross fever? GRX 1x11 can quickly transform from gravel fun to CX focused with the change of a cassette.No matter the option you select, GRX rear derailleur offerings feature Shimano’s SHADOW Plus chain stabilizer that can be turned on or off depending on conditions. SHADOW Plus revolutionized the mountain bike world and now it’s been tuned for gravel and rough road riding in GRX. With a quieter drivetrain, SHADOW Plus helps you engage with your surroundings and enjoy time outside.Today’s gravel riders demand more of their bikes and of themselves. Shimano GRX gives them the options they need to Explore Beyond, tailoring their drivetrains to suit their needs and exceed their expectations.
