Schwalbe - ROMY, the new tire for maximum riding pleasure.

Whether uphill or downhill: With the new Romy, Schwalbe introduces a model that makes choosing the right MTB tire especially easy. As a versatile all-rounder, the Romy is perfect for trail and all-mountain riding.

For the Sea Otter Festival (April 16–19, 2026) in Monterey, California, Schwalbe is implementing some important changes. The MTB portfolio has been purposefully streamlined, thus reducing the MTB range by 25%.

Romy in her element.

Which version is the right one depends on the intended use:

TRAIL.

For classic trails, the TRAIL version is the best choice. It impresses with good grip and reliable puncture protection at an excellent price-performance ratio. A unique selling proposition in the market!

GRAVITY PRO.

For bikes that are more gravity-oriented, often ridden downhill, and require a lot of stability, the GRAVITY PRO ROMY is recommended.

TRAIL PRO.

Compared to the TRAIL version, TRAIL PRO offers even greater puncture protection at a lower weight. TRAIL PRO is also equipped with the proven Schwalbe APEX. This additional fabric-reinforced protection insert improves stability and significantly increases puncture resistance – without added weight.

RACE PRO.

The Romy in the RACE-PRO version is particularly well-suited for the rear wheel on an enduro bike when the focus is on even lower weight and the best rolling characteristics.

Various versions.

Romy is the first tire Schwalbe is offering in a 2.4-inch radial version, after previously introducing the Albert and Shredda tires in 2.5 and 2.6 inches. This gives mountain bikers a choice between two carcass constructions for the Romy:

RADIAL.

Flexible casing with a larger contact surface for more grip, safety, and damping. Ideal for the most demanding routes.

DIAGONAL.

Flexible frame construction with a robust build for direct handling and high stability. Ideal for sporty and versatile use.
