SCHWALBE Magic Mary MTB tyre 29 x 2.6 Gravity Pro, Addix Ultra Soft Tubeless-Ready

Designed for riders who demand confidence on steep, rough trails, the Magic Mary Radial combines Schwalbe's Gravity Pro construction with an open, aggressive tread to bite into mud, roots and loose surfaces. The 63-622 sizing (roughly 29×2.5") and tubeless-ready folding bead let you run lower pressures for traction while reducing pinch-flat risk and improving rollover on obstacles.

How does the radial construction change ride feel and control?

The radial carcass separates the tyre’s sidewall behavior from the tread, improving vertical compliance while keeping the contact patch stable under load. That balance gives a plusher feel over rocks and roots without sacrificing predictable cornering. Radial design also helps absorb impacts and reduces bounce when running low pressures for traction.

• Radial casing for enhanced vertical cushioning and stability
• Improved contact patch consistency in corners and under braking
• Better absorption of hits at low pressures for aggressive lines

Why choose Addix Ultra Soft for enduro and downhill use?

Addix Ultra Soft is formulated to prioritize grip at lower speeds and in technical sections where traction matters most. It provides tacky performance in wet, muddy and loose conditions while still resisting tearing on sharp rocks. The softer compound increases bite in roots and off-camber turns, improving confidence when pushing limits.

• Tacky, high-traction compound for muddy and loose trails
• Enhanced bite in off-camber and low-speed maneuvers
• Optimized for control rather than long-distance rolling efficiency

How does the tread pattern perform across different trail conditions?

The Magic Mary’s open tread layout with massive shoulder lugs and V-grooves is tuned to shed mud while keeping cornering traction consistent. Center knobs provide predictable braking and acceleration, while the large outer blocks lock the tyre into turns. The design balances grip and self-cleaning ability for variable trail surfaces.

• Open, mud-shedding center and V-groove channels
• Large shoulder lugs for dependable bite in corners
• Pattern tuned for both loose and rooty terrain

Is it easy to run tubeless and compatible with modern enduro setups?

The tyre comes tubeless-ready with a folding bead, making it straightforward to mount on a tubeless rim with sealant. The folding construction reduces weight and packs easily for travel or spare tyre duties. When set up correctly you can exploit lower pressures for grip while keeping puncture resistance appropriate for gravity riding.

• Tubeless-ready bead for sealant and lower-pressure setups
• Folding bead to save rotational weight and simplify transport
• Designed for modern 29" enduro and downhill wheelsets

Who is this for? The Schwalbe Magic Mary Radial 29×2.5 is aimed at experienced enduro and downhill riders who prioritize maximum traction and impact absorption on technical descents. Choose it if you frequently ride muddy, rooty or loose terrain and want a tyre that supports aggressive lines, lower pressures and predictable cornering. If your priority is cross-country speed or long-distance efficiency, a harder compound or lighter casing may be a better match.
