Schwalbe Tacky Chan: here is the DH heir to the Magic Mary

During the design and development phase, between the 2021 and 2022 racing seasons, the new Gravity tires scored an impressive 11 victories!


Tacky Chans are designed to offer exceptional traction on the toughest racing terrain Downhill and Enduro, thanks to their aggressive tread pattern and super grippy compound.

TACKY CHAN PILLS

  • Developed over two years of World Cup, also with the overall winner of the DH World Cup, Amaury Pierron.
  • 100% optimized for accuracy
  • Shoulder knobs 10% more stable than Magic Mary for even more decisive cornering
  • Elongated knobs allow for greater braking delay
  • The open shoulder area ensures direct feedback and improves self-cleaning
  • The ramped knobs in the central area allow for excellent smoothness
  • On average 8% lighter than the Magic Mary
  • Made with fair trade rubber

In 2021 we finally get on track. The prototype starts in the first races and is immediately very fast. Thibaut Daprela chooses him for the 2021 world championship and rides him brilliantly in practice and qualifying. But then, in the race he falls twice. However, he believes the tire can reach the finish line. His feedback: The big knobs are a little too stiff, too compliant. What is needed is more cornering control.

The next step between the 2021 and 2022 racing seasons is passionate detail work down to the millimeter: the shoulder blocks are slightly smaller, while the brake blocks are a millimeter longer. The engravings on the knobs allow for a better contact surface with the ground.

It's the turning point: the tire celebrates victory after victory, with Amaury Pierron conquering the general classification of the 2022 World Cup. Myriam Nicole wins the World Cup on the infamous Black Snake slope in Val di Sole. One of eleven victories in the World Cup for the Tacky Chan in 2022.
