Looks like Oz are getting some too. Beauty!

I can see a 2.4 and 2.25 gracing the front and rear respectively of my rigid Soma Juice soon!

Bring ‘em on!

Cloxxki: Could you comment on the sidewall thickness as related to tires you have used before in 29″er, such as the Bonty XR’s? I find the weight hard to believe without the tires having super thin casings, but I will wait on your reply and see what you have to say about this.

Mr. Ralf Bohle is pretty much the boss at Schwalbe. Tire was named after him I believe.
You could also call it Raging Ralph.

The name “Ralph” never really screams “racing” to me. I always think of some fat sweaty trucker all hopped up on crank trying to find a truck stop hooker….. but maybe that’s just me…
