Product Information

Full details

The Schwalbe Magic Mary Radial Gravity Pro is designed for dedicated downhill and enduro mountain bikers who demand maximum traction and control on challenging, technical terrain. Its standout benefit is the innovative radial carcass that expands the contact patch by 30%, significantly boosting grip and damping capabilities. While it offers unparalleled performance on loose or muddy surfaces, users should note that the ultra-soft compound is optimized for grip rather than high-mileage longevity, making it a specialized tool for competitive riding rather than endurance trail riding.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use the Magic Mary Radial on the rear wheel?

Yes, it is often used as a rear tire for maximum traction, though some riders prefer a faster-rolling tire in the rear to improve pedaling efficiency.

What is the maximum pressure for this tire?

The tire is designed to handle pressures up to 38 PSI.

Is the Ultra Soft compound suitable for dry summer riding?

It provides incredible grip in dry conditions, but it will wear out much faster than Schwalbe's harder compounds on abrasive surfaces.

Do I need a special rim for radial tires?

No, this tire fits standard mountain bike rims that are compatible with 2.5-inch width tires.

Is this tire safe for high-speed E-bikes?

Yes, it is officially rated for E-bike use at speeds up to 50 km/h.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty seating the tire during tubeless setup

Ensure the bead is pushed into the center channel of the rim, and consider removing the valve core to increase airflow during initial inflation.

Sealant leaking from the sidewall

Shake the wheel laterally to distribute sealant and ensure the tire is fully inflated to push the beads into the rim hooks.

Tire feels sluggish on hardpack

Slightly increase your tire pressure to reduce carcass deformation, or consider a faster-rolling rear tire if the Magic Mary is being used on the back wheel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 30% larger contact patch for superior grip
  • Excellent damping and comfort due to radial construction
  • Exceptional braking and cornering stability
  • Performs reliably in muddy and technical conditions
  • Approved for high-speed E-bike use

Cons

  • Ultra-soft compound wears faster than harder rubber variants
  • Higher rolling resistance compared to cross-country tires
  • Specialized design may be overkill for casual trail riding

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure your rim width is compatible with the 2.5-inch width of this tire. For optimal performance, the tire is Tubeless Easy, meaning you should use a high-quality sealant and a dedicated tubeless valve stem to ensure an airtight seal.

  1. Clean your rim surface thoroughly to remove any old sealant residue.
  2. Apply the tire to the rim and seat the beads using a tubeless-compatible pump or compressor.
  3. Add sealant through the valve core, then inflate to your desired pressure.
  4. Check your pressure before each ride; while the tire handles up to 38 PSI, gravity riders typically run significantly lower pressures to maximize the radial carcass deformation.

Keep the tire stored away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the integrity of the Addix Ultra Soft compound.
