Excellent job. Radials have been needed in Mt biking for decades. I said it 30 years ago and am glad someone finally created radial bike tires. Cars got radials in the 70's and the wait has been painful. So many pinch flats could be avoided.
Certainly agree. I've noticed for a long that mountain biking lags the auto/motorcycle industry. It seemed like it took forever the MTB companies to wrap their heads around the idea of compliance, as an example. It is interesting how radials are an advantage here compared to road racing motorcycles. From the mid-80's to the mid-90's, there was still a lot of bias ply stuff available. I liked to rock Avons on FJ1100 as an example. But what really made them better back in that time frame was longevity based purely on the radial nature of the plys. Bias ply tires tended to generate more heat internally and not last as long as a result. OTOH, bias plies were awesome because they provided more feedback to the rider as you neared complete loss of traction. Bias plies had this interesting ability to lose traction on a portion of the contact patch where as the entire patch on radials either had traction or didn't! The above said, I never knew there was a compliance advantage to radials! Pretty f'en awesome! And this is precisely the place I think we should be looking for compliance and grip. Trying to make the frame or wheels more flexy does make some sense, but beyond a certain point it takes too much away from the ability to maintain attitude. Additionally, it damps signals coming from the contact patch.
@@BDKR Precisely, and flimsy frames tend to crack or bend over a period of time and need replacement. Tires are far cheaper to replace and the benefits don't end there.
I used radial tires on my road bike about 10 to 15 years ago. They had a major problem with tread to core delamination and i had to throw them away and switch back to bias ply tires. Radial tires have a great feature in that they are flexible and will roll much easier with greater control and contact with the road surface.

It's better explained with pictures in car tyres manufacturers' websites. Schwalbe explains their new tread has less angle than other Bias tyres, but if it still has an angle they are cross ply = Bias
1 car tire costs 80 to 160, you can make 7 bike tires from 1 car tire, why are we paying over 75 a tire , the only tech i need is the one that brings the price down !!!
Car tires can be cheap because billions are sold each year. You can spread the research & development and production costs over all those sales. MTB tire market is so much smaller that you can't do that in the same way so the comparison is not fair. So it's not at all about tech bringing the price down, but market size.
You can buy mountain bike tires for 35USD right now. Specialized ground control sport is one such tire. Like an $80 car tire, it will meet the basic functions required, but it is not high performance in terms of grip and rolling resistance. Stop whining about price by comparing apples to oranges. If you want the cheap option, buy it!
Not all tyres are the same. There are bike tyres worth $75 bike that is already used for XC and gravel racing. Meanwhile, the $80 car tyre is low to mid quality tyre. For car racing, some racing tyres are worth more than $1,000. F1 tyres for example are worth more than $2,500.

Good stuff! I really want to try it out. I like the changes to the info patch as well... most of us end up with several brands of tires, so it's good to make that super easy to figure out.
Can't wait to try these tires! Nice presentation, just one translation tip: @6:34 the word "punctual" conveys the concept of timeliness, not degree of conformity. "The tire can conform more precisely" or "...conform more accurately" or "...conform better" are more natural choices. Others may have better recommendations.
Can't wait for the shreddas for my cube embt love that bridge on the cental blocks seen that before on my old ktm 250! I'm sure maxxis tried a Radial a few years back and didn't take off so hopefully all is well for Swallow! I am concerned a wee tad in the online Review saying they are more pinch flat prone this will need to be tested with and without tubes next.
From the company that produced tyres on a bike I bought new last year that were so puncture prone that I averaged a puncture per spin until I binned them and fitted a Maxxis up front and a Vittoria rear, which moved it back to a more normal every 10-20 spins, I have no confidence this product is even competent, not to mind better what any of their rivals are making at a similar price.
Very cool and when properly explained, easy to understand how and why it would work better than the current diagonal design. I'm very curious to try out the Albert in Trail casing, but even more so, with the description of how the radial affects rebound and dampening, I can't help but think this would be a major improvement for bigger/plus tyres, as that's probably the most annoying thing about them, the normally quite fast and uncontrolled rebound. Any idea if this will make it into some 2.8" tyres sometime soon and will it also go to more XC/Light Trail tyres?
Soon as you got through the casing angle explanation I figured it out. Cool. Not for me unless they're $30 and made in a lower knob smart sam.. city bike only has curbs and stuff.

My Johnny Watts 29x2.6 is heavy, strong, and powerfull... Tube tire (I+mtb bicyle=130kg). Pressure 1.5-1.8 bar. No flat, no snakes, no power loss.... 1500km tyre look a new... Rims 23mm + 65 mm tire look good. No "bulb effect".
I have a shredda which started to delaminate and "bubbling" after only a few gentle rides, as if the outer rubber including knobs loosened from the carcass. Hopefully it was just bad luck.... Good tyre otherwise. Hopefully now that it goes back it has not fixed itself somehow...
It would be good to stick to 2.4 size option for rear at least, because it would be easier to compare directly to other similar tires that are not radial. If you throw on a 2.6 rear tire that extra volume alone will give you some of the benefits the radial are supposed to do, which means you need to find another 2.6 tire not radial to compare to. I do not have that and I'm not buying a non radial 2.6 tire just to compare to, which means I still need a 2.4 option because that's what I want anyhow. 2.5 for the front is fine, but I'm sure most will still want 2.4 for the rear.
I'm a bit disappointed there's no 2.4 option. I'm ok with 2.5 but it does feel a bit heavy for the type of riding i do. Also, i wish he mentioned the availability date...i'm needing new tyres and it would suck if i bought new ones and these are suddenly available 2 days later. I really would like to try these out.
There's many issues not mentioned with the radial design and low pressure on high loads, did you insert a bias ply under the radial carcass? Hookless rims shouldn't be compatible?
great, but starting by comparing the contact patch of a bike wheel to the contact patch of a shoe?? 🧐 Is it astonishing that people wearing high-heels don’t loose traction all the time? 😉

What I like most is the side wall protection of the tire is very much suited for my style of riding. I've experienced similar characteristics with continental tires as well and I would even prefer those over any other brand that I've ridden. my 26 MTB fit tires up to 2.5 in the rear. I could do whatever I want up front. I think it would be awesome to have this technology for 26" bikes as well.
