Full details

The Schwalbe Super Moto Performance RaceGuard is an ideal tire for urban commuters and city cyclists who prioritize a smooth, efficient ride on paved surfaces. Utilizing Schwalbe’s advanced Addix compound, this tire offers a robust balance of durability and grip, supported by integrated RaceGuard technology to minimize puncture risk. While it performs exceptionally well on asphalt and hard-packed paths, riders should note it is not designed for heavy off-road use or loose gravel terrain.

FAQs

Is this tire tubeless compatible?

This specific 'Performance' line variant is designed for use with standard inner tubes.

Can I use this tire for gravel riding?

It is optimized for paved surfaces. While it can handle hard-packed dirt paths, it is not recommended for loose gravel or technical off-road trails.

What is the recommended pressure range?

Always check the sidewall of your specific tire for the min/max PSI markings, as these can vary slightly by production batch.

What does RaceGuard do?

RaceGuard is a double layer of high-strength nylon fabric that creates a protective barrier against small objects like glass or thorns.

How often should I replace these tires?

Replace them when the central tread pattern is worn flat or if you notice significant cracks in the sidewalls from environmental exposure.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty seating the tire bead

Ensure the inner tube is not twisted and that the tire bead is pushed into the deepest part of the rim channel while mounting.

Increased puncture frequency

Check your tire pressure before every ride; under-inflated tires are more susceptible to pinch flats despite the RaceGuard protection.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent grip on wet and dry asphalt
  • Balanced puncture protection via RaceGuard

  • Not suitable for technical mountain biking

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This tire is specified as 700x38 (40-622). Ensure your wheel rim width is compatible with this width before installation to avoid handling issues.

Installation:

  1. Fully deflate the old tire and remove it from the rim using tire levers.
  2. Inspect the rim tape for damage before installing the new tire.
  3. Seat one bead of the Schwalbe Super Moto into the center channel of the rim.
  4. Insert the inner tube and seat the remaining bead.
  5. Inflate slowly, ensuring the bead is seated evenly around the rim circumference.

Care: Regularly check for embedded glass or sharp debris in the tread. Wipe the sidewalls with a damp cloth to prevent grime buildup and store your bike away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the rubber compound.
