Looks like the perfect dry weather tire. Race day only though, even the RaceGuard version probably not as tough as the Racing Ralph.

Hopefully they do a 2.25 version soon too. Schwalbe usually wait a year before rolling out more sizes on new treads.

What is this 'dry weather' of which you speak? :-o

I wonder if they'll make a tubular version, to go with the Ralph HT.

Reminds me of the Panaracer Driver Pro a bit. Great to have a growing selection of fast tyres for 650b.

I would call that a semislick. My racing ralph last about 1000Km, this must be half of that. Definitely a race and dentist tire.
