Schwalbe Magic Mary Addix Bicycle Tires

A benchmark gravity tire trusted by top downhill and enduro athletes, the Magic Mary delivers unbeatable braking traction, cornering stability, and control across nearly all trail conditions.

Best for

• Downhill and enduro riders who need maximum grip and predictable handling.
• Wet, loose, rocky, or muddy terrain where traction is critical.
• Riders who want a versatile front tire for aggressive riding.
• Gravity racers who rely on consistent performance at high speed.

Not ideal for

• XC riders who prioritize low rolling resistance and lightweight casings.
• Hardpack‑only terrain where a faster‑rolling tread is preferred.
• Riders seeking a rear‑specific tire with reduced drag.

What this product does

The Magic Mary provides exceptional grip through a combination of aggressive tread blocks, strong shoulder studs, and Schwalbe’s ADDIX compounds. Its open tread pattern sheds mud efficiently, while V‑Grooves cut into each knob allow the studs to bite into soft terrain for enhanced braking and cornering traction. Angled center knobs improve rolling efficiency without compromising control, making the tire a reliable choice for a wide range of gravity conditions.

Compatibility

• Available in multiple casings (Super Gravity, Downhill, etc.) for different riding styles.
• Compatible with tubeless setups depending on casing and rim width.
• Works best as a front tire but can be used rear for maximum traction.
• Fits modern enduro and DH wheel sizes (27.5" and 29").
