Schwalbe Smart Sam HS624

For the 2024 model year, the Smart Sam from Schwalbe presents itself as a versatile all-rounder with excellent performance characteristics. The modern tread pattern of the tire works optimally both off-road and on the road. Closely spaced lugs arranged both horizontally and vertically on the compact central rib of the tread ensure excellent ground contact and efficient rolling of the MTB wire tire. The angular outer lugs, combined with this tread pattern, provide high grip and secure cornering – even on loose surfaces. This makes the Smart Sam the ideal choice for those who frequently switch between road and trail. Additionally, Schwalbe has considered users of motorized bicycles: the Smart Sam is ECE-R75 certified, making it suitable for S-Pedelecs and E-bikes with pedal assistance up to 50 km/h.

To ensure not only fast rolling characteristics but also balanced handling, Schwalbe has equipped the Smart Sam with the proven ADDIX Performance rubber compound. This is characterized by high durability, good damping properties, and excellent traction. No compromises were made in terms of puncture protection either: a continuous layer of Snake-Skin fabric and additionally double-layered polyamide fabric (RaceGuard) under the tread make the tire highly resistant to punctures. Furthermore, reflective stripes on the sidewalls enhance passive safety by improving visibility in low-light conditions.
