Schwalbe Albert Trail Pro Radial Tire - 29 x 2.50, Soft, Tubeless Ready, Black

This Schwalbe Albert Trail Pro Radial tire is 29 x 2.50 with Soft rubber, a black folding bead and tubeless-ready construction. Part 11654590.01 pairs the lighter Trail Pro casing with the balanced Soft compound for everyday trail riding and mixed conditions. It is not the Ultra Soft or Gravity Pro version.

Soft compound, Trail Pro casing

Soft is the balanced option in the Albert range, combining grip and damping with rolling characteristics suited to trail riding. Ultra Soft is a different version aimed more heavily at grip. Check the compound when comparing listings, especially if you are building a front and rear combination.

Trail Pro is the lighter construction for riders balancing weight and durability. It is not the heavier Gravity Pro casing. Your terrain, speed, riding weight and history of rim strikes should all be part of that choice. A tread you like cannot make up for a casing that is too light for how you ride.

Radial setup and WC’s riding experience

The radial casing is designed to conform to the ground differently from a conventional casing. That makes pressure experimentation worthwhile; your old pressure is a starting reference rather than a guaranteed match. Check our Schwalbe radial tire FAQ for the setup discussion.

In our Albert Trail Pro review, Trevor rode the Soft version at the rear with an Ultra Soft Albert at the front. That is one useful combination to consider, not a rule that this tire can only be used at the rear. If you want a more open tread and Ultra Soft rubber to compare for the front, see the Magic Mary Trail Pro Radial 29 x 2.50.

Before you mount it

Confirm 29-inch wheel fit, suitable rim compatibility and enough frame or fork clearance for a 2.50-inch tire. A tubeless setup also needs compatible tape, valves and sealant. Follow the pressure limits marked on your tire and rim.
