I rode these tires in and around Squamish, BC on an 160 mm bike. I sit and spin uphill, and spend my timedescending on a mix of slabs, roots, rocks, jumps, and flow trails.
When new, the grip between the old vertstar and new addix soft compound is nearly identical, but the addix soft compound wears much, much slower than the vertstar.

-Excellent grip in nearly all conditions
-Addix Soft wears exceptionally well
-Super Gravity casing helps prevent flats and prevents sidewall roll
-Good, but not the best on hardpack.
-MSRP Overall Review:
In terms of outright grip, the old compound magic mary was hard to beat, but its durability left a lot to be desired. Enter the new Addix Soft Compound. Schwalbe claims that this new compound will offer slightly better grip and considerably better wear characteristics than the old Vertstar compound. This past summer and fall (Aug-Dec), I ran a Vertstar 2.35 SG MM, and this winter (Jan-April) I rode the Addix Soft 2.35 SG MM, both as a front tire. So, how do the new compound and the old compound compare?
I rode these tires in and around Squamish, BC on an 160 mm bike. I sit and spin uphill, and spend my timedescending on a mix of slabs, roots, rocks, jumps, and flow trails.
On soft soils, these tires dig in hard and offer really good grip, both braking and cornering. On hardpack, the tire does a good enough job, but the tall, soft knobs squirm during hard cornering. When new, the grip between the old vertstar and new addix soft compound is nearly identical, but the addix soft compound wears much, much slower than the vertstar. After 3.5 months on my bike, riding 2-5 days per week, the Addix soft Magic Mary is just starting to show signs of wear on the side knobs, and the center knobs still look new. After 3.5 months, the old Vertstar compound was missing knobs and in need of replacement. I expect to get about 2.5 more months our of this tire, which makes the high MSRP easier to swallow.
On wet wood, the tire has shit grip. But every tire sucks on wet wood, so this isn't a significant drawback. On slabs, dry wood, and dry roots this tire hooks up well and provides loads of confidence to the rider.
Compared to another great all-around tire, the Minion DHF 2.3 DD Maxxgrip, the Magic Mary has more volume, brakes a bit better, and is better in soft, loose, or wet conditions. The DHF gets the nod on hardpack conditions and rolls a bit faster. The compounds of both tires have similar grip, however the schwalbe compound wears much slower than the 3C Maxxgrip.
4.5 star rating due to the versatility and impressive wear characteristics, minus half a point for being heavy and slow rolling.
