Ever more technically demanding track profiles with fast passages, a higher power density among the riders and wider inner widths of current wheels sparked Schwalbe's ambition to develop a new ace up its sleeve shortly after the 2019 championship. The first prototypes were distributed to various teams and tested extensively in the following season. Schwalbe repeatedly gathered detailed feedback in order to further improve the tire and adapt it perfectly to the requirements of the cross-country elite. The result is a tire with even lower rolling resistance than the Racing Ralph. To achieve this, the tread design has been revised and now combines the best characteristics of the Racing Ralph and Thunder Burt. The tread depth has been adjusted so that it lies exactly between the two models. Thanks to the pronounced lugs, the Rick XC Pro offers improved cornering grip and more grip than the Thunder Burt. As a result, the Rick XC Pro works on most World Cup tracks in almost all conditions, making it a flexible all-rounder. While the choice of the world's top riders was often Racing Ralph at the front and Thunder Burt at the rear, it is now: Rick XC Pro at the front and Rick XC Pro at the rear.
