The classic all‑round MTB and e‑MTB tyres - smooth on pavement, confident off‑road, and available in a heavy‑duty Plus version with maximum puncture protection.
DESCRIPTION
The Schwalbe Smart Sam family (HS476 and HS476 PLUS) is one of the most popular all‑round tyre ranges for MTB and e‑MTB riders. Both versions share a modern tread design with compact centre lugs for quiet, low‑vibration rolling on pavement, and edged outer blocks that deliver stable grip on gravel, dirt, and light trails.
Smart Sam (HS476)
Designed as the “one‑for‑all” tyre, Smart Sam is ideal for riders who frequently switch between asphalt and off‑road terrain. It rolls smoothly and efficiently on pavement while maintaining predictable traction on loose surfaces. Durable, versatile, and reliable, it’s a favourite for commuting, fitness riding, and recreational MTB use.
Smart Sam Plus (HS476 PLUS)
The premium heavy‑duty variant, Smart Sam Plus is built for intensive use and demanding e‑bike applications. It features Double Defense protection - a 3mm GreenGuard layer under the tread combined with a reinforced SnakeSkin sidewall - offering significantly higher puncture resistance. This makes it ideal for riders who need maximum durability and safety on rough terrain or high‑torque e‑MTBs.
Both models use the ADDIX Performance Compound, a durable, universal rubber mix designed for long service life and balanced performance.
