The Tread Cutter is the first tool engineered specifically for modifying MTB tyre treads. It allows you to remove knobs with precision, leaving a clean, smooth edge and thanks to its adjustable cutting height, you can trim each stud exactly to your desired profile.Developed for riders who demand absolute fine-tuning, the Tread Cutter makes it possible to tailor a tyre's performance to highly specific or unusual conditions. The concept was born in the Downhill World Cup, where marginal gains matter, and was later refined in collaboration with the renowned tool manufacturer Unior Tools.

Tread cutter developed specifically for MTB tyresSharp cuts for fine tuning: Schwalbe presented the first tread cutter for MTB tires at the opening round of the MTB World Cup in Lourdes, France, April 7th to 10th. The tongs, with their exact tread-height adjustment function, allow precise shortening of the tyre lugs. "Although we offer a suitable tread for every type of terrain, sometimes unpredictable trail conditions require a unique tread to find the perfect balance of rolling and grip", says Michael Kull from Schwalbe Marketing and Race Support. "With the tread cutter, riders can adapt the tire tread even more perfectly to the respective situation." For example, the sturdy center lugs of our mud-terrain tyre, Dirty Dan, can be shortened for easier rolling. Or, as with Hans Dampf, the transition lugs in the shoulder area can be trimmed, giving more free space, and making the tread more aggressive. Lugs that have been worn "round" can have a straight edge again. Kull: "This is the first tread cutter developed specifically for MTB tires. With it, you can cut the lugs off with a smooth edge and - thanks to the cutting-height adjustment - to your exact required height.
