Details
All-mountain Bavarian.
The 27.5in Hans Dampf Tire is Schwalbe's median all-mountain model, riding with a penchant for the kind of terrain and aggressive lines that favor five or six inches of travel while still insisting on the occasional bursts of speed. The TrailStar compound supports these tendencies, privileging a tacky grip over the pure speed of Schwalbe's XC-oriented PaceStar compound. The SnakeSkin version is puncture resistant but light, while the SuperG model focuses on gravity-grade durability at the cost of a few extra grams.

Not Durable
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Tacky tires but wow do they lack durability. I had a knob rip out down to the inner wall in the front tire and a large puncture in the rear tire within 100 miles, trashing both tires. Granted this was the lighter, snakeskin rubber but I don't think any amount of traction is worth sacrificing a reasonable level of reliability. The bead is very tight as well, making these a serious pain to remove.

This tire is super tacky and have great corner tread, they are also fast rolling. I love how the tire handles in all conditions. The one down fall of this tire is it has thin side walls and wears out quick. Other then that this tire is my go to!

- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Picked these up as an alternative to the out-of-stock Maxxis HR2. The first one I installed had quite the issue that didn't even touch dirt. So got a replacement, Backcountry took care of the exchange.
They roll quick and corner okay, but durability has been a problem. Riding mostly around Salt lake city the rear sideknobs showed wear after <50 miles and I cut the casing in some low-speed tech shortly after. The offer tremendous grip and would be great for more trails that are more dirt and roots rather than rock . They have a pretty soft rubber compound.
