The tread pattern and design of the Tacky Chan is a bit different than other Schwalbe tires, however fans will see some trademark styling queues in the knobs and sipes. What makes the tire different? A slight channel along the shoulder of the tire, with L-shaped side knobs which aren’t found on other Schwalbe tires in this category. The open channel is a bit more aggressive than the Magic Mary, which is Schwalbe’s nearest gravity/burly offering. This design feature enhances the precision and all-out traction when engaging the shoulder knobs, however it requires a slightly more intentional steering or lean to dip the bike and tire over. The Tacky Chan rewards a committed riding approach.
