Schwalbe Fat Albert Tyre

The Schwalbe Fat Albert tyre is a folding tyre designed with weight and size in mind.  You have the option of a specific Fat Albert Front or Rear for better handling in corners and braking.  The Schwalbe Fat Albert also comes with the option of snakeskin for extra protection against the sharp stuff and tubeless for mounting onto tubeless wheels.  

The Schwalbe Fat Albert Tyre features include:

• Size: 26 x 2.25" or 26 x 2.40"

• Optional front or rear model for optimal performance

• Tubeless UST option also available

• Colour: Black

• Weight: 650g (2.25")

Fat Albert Front: A new, special front version is designed for safe handling and braking grip. And with U-Blocks on the shoulders the Fat Albert Front tackles curves precisely.

SnakeSkin: One of Schwalbe's most effective inventions for mountain bikes. SnakeSkin fabric adds only ca 40-50g per tyre. This makes it the most practical protection against sharp rocks that can easily cut the side wall of light racing tyres.

U-Blocks: Shoulder lugs with a special trick. U-blocks 'lift' themselves due to their special arrangement and spread cornering forces.

Triple Nano Compound: The optimal three-way rubber compound: Fast, grippy and hard wearing. Nano particles improve grip and rolling resistance - particularly effective on the dynamic centre compound.

UK Biking says "Schwalbe Fat Alberts offer a super strong, lightweight tyre with Snakeskin sidewalls for extra protection. The option of a Front or Rear Fat Albert offers better grip and performance.."
