Schwalbe HANS DAMPF 27.5 x 2.35 650B S/S TL Trailstar

Hans Dampf is as much at home on back streets as it is on tough trails. Strong lugs, grippy TrailStar Compound and additionally strengthened sidewalls (SnakeSkin) make it feel as comfortable on rugged terrain as on „flowing“ single-track, so described Schwalbe’s Head Technician, Markus Hachmeyer. 

TrailStar Compound has been used to achieve outstanding grip. „The grip is like the tire has been coated with maple syrup“, wrote American mountainbike magazine „Decline“. The unique grip is attributable to the triple compound where Schwalbe has optimized and combined three different rubber mixtures specifically for All-Mountain/Enduro: a grippy mixture is used in the tread center, an even grippier formula on the tire shoulders, while there is an easy rolling base compound under the tread. Weighing in at just 750 grams Hans Dampf rolls relatively easily and is also not bad on ascents.
