Hey all,
Just picked up a new bike and wanted to get some xc race tires set up for this year. I cannot find any 29 x 2.35 Schwalbe Racing Rays any where. Does anyone know whats up with Schwalbe here?

Any one know how much of a performance gain (rolling resistance/feel) there is switching to the Super Race version? I've been using the racing ray/Ralph combo in super ground for a few years now. Looking up the manufacturer's specs it would appear there is little to no weight savings to be had, really just a bit less puncture protection and supposedly a bit less rolling resistance.

Hey there.
thinner and lighter
More prone to some issue on rougher trails.
With Schwalbe, red line (stripe on tread of tire) version is race. Blue line versions are more trail and tougher.
I can tell you they roll great and are pretty light. I like the tan wall look though as well.
Don’t quote me but I think they make a red line version but just black.
