🚵 Performance & Riding Characteristics
The Wicked Will is particularly well suited to riders looking for a tyre that feels quick and lively on climbs and flatter trails, while still providing enough tread and shoulder support for confident descending and cornering.
⚡ Rolling Speed
The relatively fast centre tread helps the Wicked Will maintain speed efficiently, making it ideal for long trail rides and cross-country riding.
🧲 Grip
The Addix SpeedGrip compound provides dependable traction across a wide range of surfaces, from dry hardpack to loose and mixed trail conditions.
↪️ Cornering
The larger outer tread blocks provide additional support when leaning the bike into corners, helping maintain predictable handling when the trail gets more demanding.
🛡️ Protection
Super Ground construction provides a strong balance between weight and protection, making it suitable for demanding trail riding without the additional weight of heavier gravity-focused carcasses.

- 🌄 Cross-Country (XC)
- 🏔️ All-Mountain Riding
- 🌲 Fast and flowing singletrack
- 🪨 Mixed and hardpack terrain
- 🏕️ Long-distance MTB adventures
- ⚡ Riders prioritising speed without giving up dependable grip
The Wicked Will works particularly well as a rear tyre for faster trail setups, or as an all-round tyre for riders who want a good combination of speed and traction.
🧬 Schwalbe Addix SpeedGrip Compound
The Addix SpeedGrip compound is designed as a highly versatile MTB rubber compound, offering an excellent compromise between:
🚀 Rolling Speed + 🧲 Grip + 🛡️ Durability
It’s particularly suited to riders who don’t want the increased rolling resistance of an extremely soft gravity compound but still want reliable traction when riding aggressively off-road.
🛡️ Super Ground Construction
Schwalbe’s Super Ground construction is designed to provide an excellent balance between weight, puncture protection and stability.
This makes the Wicked Will a particularly versatile choice for riders who want a capable trail tyre without moving into the heavier constructions designed specifically for downhill and extreme gravity riding.
