Schwalbe Fat Albert Front SnakeSkin PaceStar TrailStar Folding 27.5" MTB Tyre
The Legend returns. The driving force behind the new Fat Albert has clearly been Gerrit Gaastra. The bike guru and out-of-the box thinker has pushed us to break new ground and question the proven tread design.
When on loose or rocky terrain there is no better tyre than the Fat Albert.
Especially on downhill sections on loose terrain you need to have full confidence in your tyres that they can cope and grip at speed and while twisting and turning etc and the Fat Albert are pretty impressive.
While using them you can really put your worries of your tyres gripping enough away and concentrate on trying to be quicker or more efficient on the trail.
The tyres are built to be either with or with inner tubes and the snakeskin design on the sides make them very durable against punctures no matter if its on the middle or the side of the tyre.
Key Features:
- PaceStar compound
- SnakeSkin sidewalls
- TrailStar compound
- Max load: 125kg
- Weight: 780g
Occasionally, without notice, manufacturers change product design and/or specifications.
