The Ultremo has always been a great tyre but in the latest ZX version Schwalbe have taken it to new heights. An improved compound offers better grip at a lower weight with reduced rolling resistance. Schwalbe have then added the HD Speed Guard puncture protection system to help prevent punctures cutting your ride or race short.

Perfect for racing and general riding, this tyre is fast, grippy and strong.

Tyre Key Features:

  • RaceStar Triple Compound gives a dramatic reduction in rolling resistance, an increase in longevity and a grippier compound on the shoulders of the tyre for when you're riding hard.
  • HD Speed Guard puncture protection helps prevent punctures, cuts and slits ruining your ride without impacting upon weight or rolling resistance.
  • This is a folding clincher tyre.
  • Size: 700c x 23mm.
  • Intended use: Competition and recreation/training.
  • Weight: 207g (PBK Office Scales).
  • Please note: Schwalbe advise that whilst coloured compounds are good, the black compound is better, therefore for the very best performance in grip and durability please choose the black version of the Ultremo ZX.
  • Maximum of 10 tyres per order.

Please note: tyres, including tubulars are covered for warranty against manufacturing defects only.

Damage caused by incorrect fitting, debris, solvents, UV damage, or wear and tear are not covered.

While puncture protection increases the tyre's protection against punctures the likelihood of puncturing is merely reduced, there is still a possibility of puncturing and no tyre is 'puncture proof'.

Orders need to be deemed for personal use only. Large orders deemed to be for resale, trade use or club resale will not be honoured. Large orders for 10 or more tyres may incur additional postage charges at the discretion of Probikekit Limited.

Fast, lightweight tyres with good grip and puncture protection, but save them for competition use

The Ultremos are completely slick but don't let that put you off – a smooth tyre provides better grip on the road than one with a patterned tread because the area of contact is larger. I've never had a problem with the grip here. Even on damp roads, I've found these surprisingly sure-footed. -road.cc

good grip and they're very, very fast

Schwalbe's ZX versions of the popular Ultremo are competition tyres, they provide good grip and they're very, very fast.The carcass is made from 127 TPI (threads per inch) nylon and it's pretty supple. Schwalbe have added a little extra material to the tyre shoulders compared to earlier versions of the Ultremo, and that's added 15g to the weight but, as I said, there's still not a lot to these. Despite that slight weight gain, Schwalbe reckon these tyres have 15% lower rolling resistance than before.The Ultremos are completely slick but don't let that put you off – a smooth tyre provides better grip on the road than one with a patterned tread because the area of contact is larger.

best tire for the money

I have used Michelin Pro Race, Continentals (all models) , Vittoria
Corsa Evo and now this line of Schwalbe from Durano to Ultremo
R1 to now the Ultremo ZX. I have found overall that the ZX has performed admirably in respect to durability, flat resistance, and grip and wear resistance. I have had the present set on for two seasons
including winter riding in Canada and they are just now starting to show wear after about 8000k per season, Definitely worth the cash.

Perfect balance of puncture protection, speed and grip

These are great.
Read the review in Cycling Plus that gave them 5 out of 5 and considered these as their benchmark and bought them as a result.
I've done about 300kms on these and the ride is fantastic, rolling resistance is excellent with plenty of grip in the corners.
Puncture resistance is very good as I ride over a lot of glass on my regular rides, they are light and inspire confidence.
Very much a magic carpet ride.
buy them.

Very happy

I have these tires to be very reliable to resist punctures with a very solid puncture belt. They are very light and are a good choice as an all round summer tire. The tire's are very easy to mount and change onto a rim. They are fairly sticky and have a nice round shape for hard cornering. I am very satisfied with these and I will purchase another set when they wear out. I have a set on my bike, my wife's and my mother inlaws as well.

Not very durable

I purchased these and was very disappointed with their durability.
Without doubt they do ride and handle well but for only 1 months riding and 3 races they let me down. The back tyre profile wore flat very quickly and I had two flats with it running at 115psi. The front tyre blistered in two places. Two of my clubmates run these tyres and have had blistering issues also.

good and fast

i think thes tyre are som of the best i have borght !!

good

good and fast tyres and the last long !!!

good grip

sure footed tyre however for racing only or you will be disappointed with wear. Rear tyre was cut up beyond use after 800km , front still on at 1400km but not long to go

A good all round road tyre.

I got 2 punctures in my rear wheel in the first 1500km but have had a further 2000 without incident.
A good cornering tyre and because of the high pressure capability they can roll very fast and easy too!
They seem to be wearing well too.
