Schwalbe Albert Tire

Unlike standard tires with a cross-ply construction, the radial carcass uses threads at a wider angle. This allows the tire to deform more easily over obstacles, creating a larger, more consistent contact patch with the ground for noticeably better traction and control.

Yes, it is specifically engineered to handle the higher torque and weight associated with high-power e-bikes. The construction is robust enough to maintain its shape and grip under the increased demands of an electric drivetrain.

While it is designed as a tubeless-ready tire, you can absolutely use it with an inner tube if you prefer. However, running it tubeless is recommended to take full advantage of the lower-pressure capabilities and improved puncture protection.

The Schwalbe Albert is designed to be versatile and performs well on both the front and rear. Its tread pattern and radial construction provide a balance of grip and durability that works effectively in either position.

The 67 TPI (threads per inch) casing strikes a balance between durability and suppleness. It is robust enough to handle the rigors of aggressive trail riding and e-bike use without feeling overly stiff or harsh on the trail.

The maximum recommended pressure is 35 PSI. Because of the radial carcass design, you will likely find the best performance and grip at lower pressures than you might be used to with traditional tires.
