During the recent World Cup mountain bike races in Bielsko-BiaÅa, the Schwalbe Dirty Dan Gravity Pro tire proved its superiority, helping Tahnee Seagrave and Loic Bruni secure elite victories despite challenging conditions. The tire features a new radial construction that enhances grip and efficiency, enabling higher pressures and a larger contact patch. This marks a significant update to the long-established Dirty Dan design, which has been in the Schwalbe lineup for over 15 years. Unexpectedly, Bruni, typically associated with Specialized tires, also raced with the Schwalbe prototypes, suggesting their potential in competitive racing.
It's really not that surprising to see Schwalbe's excellent new Radial construction shine on the toughest World Cup DH stage.
What was a bit more surprising here was to see Loic Bruni win just 2 hours later, on what appears to be the same tires.
Dirty Dan has been in the Schwalbe downhill line-up for more than 15 years as a tall, spiky mud tire, but now it looks like it's ready for a Radial update.
These new tires flex more locally than a conventional tire with the same pressure, giving them an almost magic combination of more grip and larger contact patch.
