This tyre is available in multiple configurations, including sizes 27.5x2.35 and 29x2.35, catering to a wide range of riders and bike setups within the Bikes category.

At the core of its design is the ADDIX Soft compound, which excels in aggressive enduro and downhill riding by providing superior grip in all weather conditions. This compound is specifically formulated to maintain traction even in low temperatures, enhancing rider stability and control. The tyre’s Super Gravity construction incorporates four carcass layers combined with a robust fabric layer bead-to-bead, reinforced further by an APEX layer that offers puncture protection and lateral stiffness. This combination results in a tyre that balances durability with supple ride quality, performing reliably under heavy loads and challenging riding styles.

Additional features such as the Tubeless Easy (TLE) system simplify tubeless setup, improving ride efficiency and reducing the risk of flats. The Hans Dampf is also E-BIKE READY, certified for motor assist speeds up to 25kph, making it a versatile option for electric mountain bikes. SnakeSkin sidewalls enhance resistance to abrasion and scrubbing, while a high 67 TPI count ensures excellent carcass quality. Together, these specifications position the Hans Dampf Addix Super Gravity Soft Folding TLE as a dependable and high-performance tyre for serious mountain biking enthusiasts.
