FAQ

Why is the Big Betty better suited for the rear wheel?

The Big Betty's tread pattern is designed to optimize traction under rear-wheel-specific forces: acceleration, braking traction, and lateral stability. Using it up front is possible but the Magic Mary is optimized for front steering input.

What conditions does the Big Betty perform best in?

The Big Betty is tuned for dry to damp conditions. In very wet or muddy terrain, a more open, aggressive mud tire with larger voids between knobs would provide better self-cleaning and traction.

Does the Big Betty come in a tubeless version?

This wire bead version runs with an inner tube. Schwalbe offers tubeless-ready versions of many Big Betty builds. Check current inventory for tubeless variants if that is your preferred setup.

Best For

26-inch enduro and downhill riders who want a capable rear tire for dry to damp aggressive terrain, especially those already running or planning to run a Magic Mary front tire.
