[DIRT BOY]

I just got around to posting the tire weights of 6 Nobby nic 2.1 tires.

Weights were as follows:
493, 499, 504, 507, 512, 515g

Pics:

Mounting up this wednesday and will post a ride report on Monday and including the G-nesis frame report.

There seems to be quite some variation

I've seen them down to 475 g.

 

[DIRT BOY]

I heard soem were coming in lighter...

ww.com has listing from avg 497g for 2 tires.

I guess they sent me the heavier batch

does the casing on them feel like a condom, lol? those are some pretty decent sized knobs for a sub 500g tire!

 

[STS]

mine was 491g
The casing is the same than the RR, so don't expect to be hard against rocks...
but they are the best allaround tire I've tried in 15 years riding

So far RR were surprisingly durable for me - in the rear under my fat ass and over local rocks. It ain't no downhill tire, but nevertheless..

Awesome stuff- a little heavier than I expected them to be... I look forward to your ride report on the frame and the tyres

This said

...a little heavier than I expected them to be...

This is a 2.1" Schwalbe that actually is 2.1". Most of their tires are a little smaller than claimed.

Small 2.1

This is a 2.1" Schwalbe that actually is 2.1". Most of their tires are a little smaller than claimed.

Just received my 2.1 nobby NIC 514 grams( I got the heavy one)

casing width 45.95mm

Tread width 49.10mm wide set of knobs, 46.08mm narrow set

closer to a 1.9 tire is a 2.1 54x559 mounted ona stans 355 ZTR rim

So for the size it not that light definitly will need a 2.25 or 2.4 in size, I will try to get a ride report out after the weekend!

2.25 NN @ 569 grs

I guess I got one right on spec, Schwalbe claims the 2.25 NN weighs 570 grs., so I guess they are right

Cheers,

i had the opportunity to weigh LOTS of tires at the swiss Schwalbe distributor. see the weights of the lightest ones i picked below. in ( ) you see weights of tires i got delieverd last year. the differences are HUGE to say the least. i found differences up to 80g in tires of the same size!!!

Nobby Nic 1.8": 394 ( 413, 437, 443)
Nobby Nic 2.1": 447, 462 (507, 515, 524)
Racing Ralph 2.1": 452, 462
Racing Ralph 2.25": 476

Anyone know where I can buy these in the US?

Also is the 2.1 really 1.9?
