Big Betty is back!
Relaunched from the late 1990s and the early 2000s customer fave, the BIG BETTY Super Gravity 29 Inch MTB Tire is a downhill and enduro allrounder for dry to damp conditions.
Now she's back - with extra strong shoulder knobs, long, supported braking edges, outstanding self-cleaning properties, and the seal of approval from pros like WorldCup rider Nina Hofman.
Big Betty works perfectly on the rear wheel when combined with the brand's equally beloved Magic Mary and is equipped with everything modern tire technology has to offer.
Super Gravity—The Go-To Construction for Aggressive Riders
Super Gravity construction provides perfect cushioning with high stability and robustness. Compared to the Super Trail carcass, puncture protection is further improved.
Five layers of fabric protect the center of the tire while four carcass layers and one fabric layer protect the sidewalls. Despite the durable construction, though, Super Gravity tires remain compliant and flexible due to Schwalbe's patented Turn-Up construction.
No other carcass has such stability and security—Super Ground tires are ideal for bikes with long travel and perfect for Downhill and Enduro when the rider and the track demand everything from the material.
Features:
Long supported braking edges for maximum braking traction
Extremely stable shoulder blocks for outstanding cornering grip
Open and aggressive tread for excellent grip and self-cleaning
Addix Soft Compound
Folding Bead.
Availabe in 2 sizes: 29 x 2.4, 29 x 2.6
