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.

Start flat out ... then pick the pace up halfway

What is this 'dry weather' of which you speak?
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.
Bikes: Raw Ti, 650b flatbar CX

Definitely a race and dentist tire.
Dentist as in going over the bars when the front washes out at speed, and then going to the?
These tires won't be released before mid September.
Eurobike show i believe they are launcheing the tyre then!

Onza Canis is 120TPI and Schwalbe 127TPI. I don't think you will notice the differences in 7 threads per inch! I feel the Onza casing is far more supple than my Racing Ralph casing, almost like having a puncture for the same tyre pressure!
If you mean "tread" then the Canis XC is actually very similar. Maybe fewer knobs but in the real world very little practical difference.
