Schwalbe Nobby Nic HS 602 is a tubeless-ready MTB tyre designed for 26" wheels (ISO/ETRTO 57-559, 26 x 2.25). With a weight of 795 g and a rider load capacity up to 110 kg, this tyre covers a wide pressure range of 26–54 psi (max 54 psi). Engineered as an all-round trail tyre, it combines a modern tread pattern with stable shoulder blocks and enlarged gaps between tread blocks to deliver traction, self-cleaning and reliable braking performance across varied terrain and weather conditions.
Advantages
The tread layout features a special center stud arrangement for improved braking and forward traction while stable shoulder blocks increase grip in cornering. Tubeless-ready construction reduces the risk of pinch flats and allows lower running pressures for better traction. Enlarged gaps between blocks promote self-cleaning in muddy or loose conditions, helping to maintain consistent performance on trails, XC tracks and enduro routes.
Suitable for
- All-mountain and trail riding
- Cross-country (XC) tracks with variable terrain
- Technical enduro trails and steep descents
- Wet, muddy and loose surface conditions

How to use
Install the tyre on a compatible 26" rim following the rim and tyre manufacturer instructions. If fitting tubeless, use an appropriate tubeless rim tape, valve and sealant and ensure a proper bead seating before inflating to within the recommended 26–54 psi range. For non-tubeless setups, install a suitable inner tube sized for 26 x 2.25 tyres and inflate to the recommended pressure. Regularly inspect the tyre for cuts, embedded debris and sidewall damage, and monitor pressure to maintain intended performance and safety.
Usage recommendations
For improved traction on technical or loose sections, run pressures toward the lower end of the 26–54 psi range while ensuring adequate protection against rim strikes. In muddy conditions, the enlarged tread gaps help self-cleaning; check and clear deeply embedded debris after rides. When converting to tubeless, use compatible sealant and check for airtightness before riding.
