How Does Schwalbe's Radial Casing Work, and Does it Actually Make Any Difference?

The radial sidewall is potentially a simple solution for increasing grip and puncture resistance in mountain bike tires. The theory is that by making the carcass of the tire more supple, riders can enjoy the puncture resistance of higher pressures with the suppleness of a more flexible tire. Henry explores the technology and sees whether the riding characteristics are really that different from Schwalbe's classic downhill casing.
