Reviews over the

Schwalbe Pro One TLE

Unfortunately, the tyre weighs considerably more than stated. In the 25 version it is 285 gr. (weighed by the rider) and in the 28 version even 330 gr. This is significantly more than stated and therefore misleading. Mounting and handling are ok, I can't say anything about puncture protection.

Not tubeless to use icm Enve-80 rim, the tire is too wide around the rim, with no possibility the tire pops. With a new Conti GP5000 it works immediately, so it's not the rim. Can therefore only use the tire with a tube and that in itself rides fine, feels like a Conti.

Pros & Cons

My bike came with 28mm version fitted in, I wanted to replace it with the same model and 25mm, maybe in future will mix 25F 28R. 28mm on my rim measures 27,4mm, so the difference between them is small. The biggest issue in my case was to mount them. I tried fitting them numerous times, on both rims it always were ending with uneven fit. Nothing helped, squeezing, pumping more or even making a short ride. I ended up with adding some soap on the bead... Then they finally popped in properly. Next issue is with taking them off, it is almost impossible to do it with bare hands, I'm typing this review with burning fingers and scratches. I was putting so much force while disassembling that some rubber went off from the side. I went to the local bike service, they wasn't able to put it off too xD. Not sure if this is specific to my rim (TR, 18c), but it is pointless to use them with tubes in this case, ordered tubeless kit.. Hope they will seal easily. Ride quality is good, done just short ride so far, no experience on wet surface yet.

Pros & Cons

I really wanted to love these tires, and I do...except I have to get something else. They're just too fragile. While they worked, they were easy to mount, fast, offered a soft ride, everything you want in a tire. But they only lasted about 1000 km, or 4 months of riding. In that time, they suffered several punctures that required sealant to plug, and finally one that just refuses to stay shut, even with a tubeless plug in it. The thing is, the hole is so small that you'd have never even noticed it on a tubed tire. I just can't justify buying such an expensive tire that is so fragile, unless I were only to mount it on race day.

Pros & Cons

I have been riding Schwalbe Ones for a while now, which are great tires because they are durable, ride well and I hardly ever have a flat. And that's a good thing, because I can't get the tire on without help. With three men and green soap it still didn't work, so only a tire lever could do it. Quite tricky when you are far from home in a field. I'm going to another brand.

Pros & Cons

In terms of speed, rolling resistance a great tire. Unfortunately, slight leaks on both wheels at the rim flange - a pity but after 2 days must already be re-pumped. The weight corresponds with 288 grams not at all the manufacturer's specification, about 250 gr were specified, I think that is unserious especially since that was also the case with all 23 tires of Schwalbe Pro One

Pros & Cons

Easy to install

Pros & Cons

To be seen in the long run in comparison with the GP 5000

Pros & Cons

One reviewer wrote, that he fell hard because of this tire, because it flipped over. He was riding with a 4 bar. Schwalbe could find no faults with the tire afterwards. My experience is unfortunately identical. It is a fine tire: fast, smooth, comfortable, lies well in corners and has enough friction, even in wet weather. But.....this tire must be inflated reasonably hard (say minus 6 bar). At lower pressures, the tire slips/folds over in a turn and you slip immediately, especially if the tire is older.Schwalbe should tell a little more about this, because it's just dangerous. I now replace my tires after about 3500 km , yet again with the same pro one TLE. The tires do not last very long. Why chose these again, despite the objections. If you put enough pressure on them, and don't dwell on the short lifespan, this is the nicest tire I rode so far. I give them a second chance because "I'm through with them". Given the short lifespan, though, they are expensive. Fortunately, the liquid latex works quite well with these tires. Although flat for a long time, you can still ride for months (after inflating).

Pros & Cons

I have replaced this tyre which was originally supplied with a new Canyon Road bike. The rear tyre has cut up badly and i have had two punctures after only 800 miles. I have replaced the tyre and reserve judgment.

Pros & Cons

Easy to mount, levers not necessary. But impossible fill wiht a normal pump, compressor is needed. Reynolds AR41 tubeless wheels.

Pros & Cons

Tires ride very nice but very moderate in terms of puncture resistance.... I'm going back to my trusty conti's because nothing more irritating than frequent punctures.

Pros & Cons

The tires are of good workmanship and on road test they are fine. Unfortunately they lose pressure quickly(24 hours) especially the rear, and not because of incompatibility with the rims as they already previously mounted the same tires without problems . Currently I have not been able to solve the problem even by disassembling and reassembling them with added latex. I will try replacing the valves although it does not seem that the air leakage is coming from there.

Pros & Cons

Switched to tubeless tires from Swalbe Pro One TLE 2020. Front tire punctured after 300 km due to piece of metal, can happen. The Squirt Seal didn't seal properly, so an inner tube went in. Rear tire finely worn within 3000 km so a small stone easily punctured it. Conclusion: puncture and wear resistance not in proportion to the price. Will now try the Conti 5000.
