Not exactly amber wall but .. (non retro content)

Just saw this in the March copy of German Bike mag, colour sidewalls on the new Cannondale Rize press release pictures:

Edit: better picture found on the web. Coloured side walls by Schwalbe, comes close to IRC red wall, but a bit more red. And take note how the down tube decals match the sidewalls, could be a 'Dale special issue too.

Bet they would look the part on my Ti hardtail project, with Nobby Nic performance to boot. Makes me wonder if MTB product managers hang out on these pages.

Enjoy!

Where did you get the IRCs from?

I picked up 20 kevlars for $5/piece off eBay last year. But chain reaction has them at a very good price too. They even have/had amber. I bought a pair of amber IRC Mythos from them last week (someone had posted a link to it in a different thread) and shipped to the states my landed cost was still only $28 per tire which is still very reasonable for a kevlar beaded tire

Similar sidewall colour to Conti brown walls

These are the ones I just got from Chain Reaction

Top are natural skinwalls from Chain Reaction and the lower the red or rust sidewalls I picked up on the bay.

I have seen IRC tyres every now and again. I owned a set of Mythos XC 1.95k myself, but I sold them recently as I have a preference for wider tires, 2.35 or 2.4's. The Fires come in a 2.4 FR model, in red and blue sidewall too. But somehow I never fell for them, mostly because riding in Holland there's no real need form the full nobby.

So has anayone spotted the redwall Schwalbes in a shop?

I have the new Racing Ralph 2.4s on my 29er and I am very impressed with them. I've got 175 km on them in varied terrain now including some proper up and down in the Harz in Germany, snow, mud, forest tracks and hardpack. Very Nice, and I really would want them in red wall for my 26" retro.

Enjoy!!
