Schwalbe Big Betty

 I have tried many tires, I am a tire junkie, but once I found these, was like founding the holy grail. These are absolutely amazing! They have become my favorite tire, and they will probably be for a long time. They roll great, amazing traction, fantastic grip!

Never have felt so light and secure on my bike!


For All Mountain go for both front and rear Big Bettys, and play with the compounds according to your conditions. For DH/FR the Big Betty 2.5 DH casin as a rear tires is amazing, go for a MM in the front.

 Have and been using it as a front tire..

Excellent grip in the dirt, especially loamy/softer conditions..

Its barely average in the rocks... I always testride a tire in a street/driveway transition (that has a step in it of say an inch or so) and ride at a progressivly smaller and smaller angle to see how well the tire will climb/squirm or just slide out on this test... this tire slid much mroe than expected (and compared to the better rock tires - minions etc.) and when I rode in the rocks it behaved the same...

Durability seems great so far.

Final Score:
Dirt = Excellent
Rocks = Average

 Oh, i really can't imagine why all u say that Schwalbe gripin well.. No ITS NOT. I had my Continental De Baron and Maxxis Minion DH on my bike and i felt that it works on grip, later i tried Intense tyre put on front wheel and on rear i used same DeBaron, and then i felt supergippy ride, also i used Intense Spike on rear (u can go on wet clay just without brakes, it grips just amazing, better then Wetscreams), it is nothing what to compare with BigBettys, Bettys just sliping as cow on ice if u comparin these tyres with real dh tyres. On tarmac it grips and cornerin well, but on sand u better use sth else if u would like not to crash and broke your helmet visor or sth more.. Also my friend bought brand new Muddy Marry and he also said, that Maxxis or Continental was way more grippy.

 super tyre for light fr use and harder enduro rides. perfect grip in dry condtions. not the best on wet roots and stones. fat and light.

 Best rear tyre evar. Seemingly flat-proof and grips like a very grippy thing while having miniscule rolling resistance. Gets sketchy in the wet, but still a quality tyre.

 These tires are great! They came on my Scott Voltage FR20. Excellent cornering and fast rolling. They also clear mud out quite well. Overall a good choice for a DH tire!

 very good grip in the dirt strong tire last long very happy about it have a couple extra it's good on any other terain i recommend this tire for the freerider and downhiller

 Running the betty's for halv a year and it still amazes me how much grip it has,very durable and perfect for all terrain.

 Really grippy for sand, mud, dirt... Good on roots. Lightweight, great rolling on concrete tires. Best ever rode.

 Awesome tyre, superb grip!
