Schwalbe Magic Mary ADDIX Soft

£58.99 (Snake Skin TLE) Magical levels of grip

F itting a Magic Mary to the front of your bike is essentially cheating – the grip is unreal! It’s the side knobs that make it so good. They’re tall, well supported and angled to bite into the ground harder the sharper you turn. The Mary is in its element on off-piste terrain, but the rounded profile and stiff tread mean it can also hold its own on hardpack without terrifying understeer. Durability of the new ‘ADDIX Soft’ compound seems good too, addressing our main issue with the previous version. www.schwalbe.com
