Discover Schwalbe Hans Dampf MTB tires at BIKE24
The Schwalbe Hans Dampf is built for riders who want more bite than the Nobby Nic without the aggressive tread of the Magic Mary. Think of your local loop: a gravel climb, rooty forest sections and a rocky descent to finish. The symmetrical HS491 tread delivers efficient climbing traction and control on the descents. Redesigned in 2018, the tire has evolved from an all-mountain classic into a versatile trail and enduro option, now complemented by Schwalbe’s Super casings. At BIKE24, choose from the affordable Performance Line and robust Evolution Line with Super Gravity, in 26, 27.5 and 29 inches.
Why choose Schwalbe Hans Dampf tires
- All-round tread: Large and small shoulder knobs grip hard and loose terrain.
- Predictable at the limit: The tire breaks traction progressively and is easy to bring back under control.
- Casing options: Choose the right level of protection for trail or enduro riding.
Schwalbe Hans Dampf tires at a glance
Choose based on the puncture protection you need, how much you prioritize low rolling resistance and your budget. The Evolution Line features the more advanced ADDIX compounds, while the Performance Line offers the more affordable option. All models listed at BIKE24 carry the E-25 recommendation for pedelecs with pedal assistance up to 25 km/h.
Hans Dampf Evolution with Super Trail casing
Super Trail is the most versatile option, with three casing layers beneath the tread, an Apex in the sidewall and a chafer at the bead to keep the tire stable at low pressures. ADDIX Soft delivers grip, while ADDIX Speedgrip prioritizes speed. Available in widths from 2.35 to 2.80 inches.
Hans Dampf Evolution with Super Gravity casing
For rougher terrain, choose Super Gravity. Four casing layers, a continuous layer of SnakeSkin fabric and a substantial Apex increase pinch-flat protection and lateral stiffness for a more composed ride at low pressures. Ideal for enduro bikes.
Hans Dampf Performance with ADDIX Compound
The Performance Line is the more affordable option. It uses the same HS491 tread paired with the durable ADDIX Compound and a simpler construction. A solid choice for logging miles on less demanding trails. Available in 2.35 inches at BIKE24.
