The first tread cutter specially for MTB (or trials!) tyres, made by tool specialists Unior for Schwalbe.

The perfect tool for consistent tyre tread modification!
In built depth gauge for accurate tread cutting.

- A unique tool designed specifically for trimming tyre tread. Ideal for riders looking to save weight / improve traction and hold by removing excess rubber from the tyre tread!
- Trimming tyre tread to lower the profile can improve rolling resistance and increase grip on harder terrain, like rocks and concrete, by giving more tyre contact. It can also lessen tread deformation, making the tyre more stable. Removing material from shoulder tread can help tyres 'hook' onto sharp edges, improving tyre 'hold' by allowing edges of an obstacle to sit more easily in-between uncut tread.
- For mountain bike riders, tyres can be modified to lower rolling resistance from the centre tread while retaining shoulder tread for cornering grip. Ideal for lowering rolling resistance on rear tyres.
- For an example on how this tool works, check out Ali Clarkson's META VTT2 comp bike build video.
- Made for Schwalbe by tool specialists Unior. Designed for the rigours of race mechanic use with high quality materials and a chunky rubber grip.
- Neat 'depth gauge' allows you to fine tune the cutting depth to accurately trim tread. The special gauge ensures consistency with every cut for a super tidy finish!

Additional Information

Please note: Trimming tyres will void any manufacturer warranty, and if done incorrectly, may lead to tyre damage. Trimming tyres will change their grip, rebound and puncture prevention characteristics, it's better to trim less and then more later if you need it! We recommend trimming tyres when fitted and inflated, this will make it easier to get consistent cuts.
