The Schwalbe Racing Ray is a high-performance front tyre designed specifically for cross-country riders who prioritize precise steering and confident cornering. It offers an exceptional balance of low rolling resistance and aggressive grip, making it an ideal choice for competitive XC racing, though its specialized front-wheel design means it is less suited for rear-wheel placement where different traction needs are required.

While it can technically be mounted on the rear, it is specifically designed as a front tyre. For the rear, the Schwalbe Racing Ralph is recommended to provide better drive traction and acceleration.
Yes, Schwalbe TLE tyres are generally compatible with modern hookless rim profiles, but always check your rim manufacturer's maximum pressure specifications.
For a 29x2.35 tyre, use approximately 60-90ml of tubeless sealant to ensure adequate puncture protection and air retention.
Replacement intervals depend on mileage and terrain, but look for signs of significant center block wear or sidewall cracking, which typically occur after one full season of heavy racing.
Evo stands for Evolution line, representing Schwalbe's highest-quality materials, construction methods, and compound technologies.
Remove the valve core to increase airflow during inflation, or use a soapy water solution around the tyre bead to help it slide into the rim seat.
Ensure you are using a sealant compatible with tubeless-ready tyres and shake the wheel horizontally and vertically after installation to coat the interior casing thoroughly.
This is a Tubeless Easy (TLE) tyre, meaning it is optimized for use without an inner tube. For the best performance, pair this with a high-quality tubeless-ready rim and appropriate sealant. When installing, ensure the bead is seated correctly by using a high-volume pump or a compressor to help it 'pop' into place.
Check your air pressure before every ride, as XC tyres are sensitive to pressure changes; 20-25 PSI is generally ideal for a rider of average weight, though you should adjust based on trail conditions. To maintain the tyre, check for sealant levels every 3-6 months and ensure the tread is free from embedded sharp objects after rides.
