Reviews over the

Vredestein Aventura

Completely in line with expectations. Tyre does what it is supposed to do, roll

Pros & Cons

Chosen obv reviews in trade magazine. To replace Bontrager GR2 Team Issue 700X40C Skinwall 18/4 Received new ones under warranty. First set from 05/2023 appeared to have become porous, spring 2025: latex pressed through skinwall! Tyre pressure dropped from 3.5 bar to zero within 4 days. 21/4 New set put on with Vittoria Airliners - no ride yet. Tyres are still under pressure. PS: Airliners work better with 40mm tyres!

Pros & Cons

Lots of traction on gravel paths, you don't slip and you can go a bit harder through corners compared to my previous outer tyres.

Pros & Cons

My favourite gravel tyre. The last pair lasted about 5000 km without a single puncture! Rolls super smoothly with a latex or TPU tube. Easy to fit. Good wear resistance. Very comfortable in 44 width.

Rolls nicely over the gravel paths around the Posbank.

Pros & Cons

The 38mm version is completely in line with expectations. Quite comfortable tyre that you can get on well even on singletracks.

Pros & Cons

Big crack after 3rd gravel ride. Hopefully a rare case of pure bad luck, as it really did roll nicely over gravel paths, in the forest and on asphalt. I'll order it again because first impressions were good though. Also looks nice with brown skinwall under black Trek Domane.

Pros & Cons

Tyres ride fine

Pros & Cons

Good service from Mantel: not just tips but also helped with imposition. Super!

Pros & Cons

Top tyres just needed a bit of soapy water before putting them on for the first time

Pros & Cons

To replace the original Bontrager tyres on my TREK, I ended up with these tyres via fiets.nl's test. During the first ride, I was surprised by the grip and rolling resistance of these tyres. On a mountain bike course with nice single tracks, I was not afraid for a moment that I would lose grip. On the road, rolling resistance was not disappointing either. Tubeless mounting was also very easy. Without fluid, I didn't even have a leak. What is a pity is that they are only offered in two widths. Although 38 mm is sufficient in most cases, I opted for the 44 mm so that I can also cope with rougher terrain. 40 mm would have been nicer in my opinion. Finally, the decals on the tyres. In my opinion, the brand name should have been on the same spot so that they are visible at the valve from both sides (see photos). The tyre would then have been perfect (therefore 4 stars).

Furthermore, the decals are a bit emphatic so the look of the tyre is a bit less. That is a matter of taste.

Pros & Cons

Perfect tyre for fine and coarse gravel and asphalt. Surprisingly fast tyre. And great nl product

Pros & Cons

Got these tyres recently but am satisfied with design and grip. Only putting the tyre on was very stiff. Hope I don't ever end up with a flat tyre in the rain....

Pros & Cons

Bought this tyre to replace the Schwalbe G-One bite. Have only just put it on but it rolls fine on the road, have yet to test it on gravel. Got the tyre on the rim very easily and even without sealant the tyre did not deflate noticeably. I also did not need to use the tyre booster to get the tyre on the rim properly, which was necessary with the schwalbe.

Pros & Cons

Easy to assemble, also keep good pressure throughout the week

Pros & Cons

For the 3rd time, I am happily throwing these tyres on my gravel bike. After riding the standard tyres on my new bike for a while, I was looking forward to riding these tyres again

Pros & Cons

Previously rode other brand tyres and they felt "sluggy", especially on asphalt between gravel strips. This tyre is nice and fast on asphalt and fine on gravel and mud.

Pros & Cons

The tyre is very rideable on all terrains (including asphalt). Puncture resistance is top

Pros & Cons

Matches my expectations

Pros & Cons

Very smooth fitting at a 45-minute squeak with just a floor pump. Rolling resistance is formidable on asphalt and light forest trails, on more humid or muddy trails grip will perhaps be worse despite the larger profile on outer edges of the tyre.

Pros & Cons

Completely meets my expectations!

Pros & Cons

Tyre that lives up to expectations. Falls a little short on the really rough stuff but that is to be expected given the studded tread.

Pros & Cons

For years, my favourite gravel tyre. Why. Tyre holds up super on rougher surfaces, has low rolling resistance on the road, and I hardly ever ride flat (with inner tube!). Wonder how this tyre likes it in tubeless set-up....

Pros & Cons

A lovely all-round tyre, rolls nicely, sits nicely around the rim. After good degreasing with soapy water, both rim and tyre, got tubeless airtight with normal foot pump. The rear tyre needed a bit more convincing with compressor. Then left perfectly airtight for a day and only then added latex (Dynamic bikecare). And finally rode a successful practical test, Gravelty Oosterbeek. Before this I rode the 38mm with inner tube, also great, but wanted to be perfectly prepared for upcoming The Ride Gravel.

Pros & Cons

I'm an heavy guy and I've loved the confort of these tyres.

Pros & Cons

Tire is ideally suited for Dutch gravel routes, runs smoothly on road and gravel trails

Pros & Cons

Am extremely satisfied with these tires , perfect on asphalt , and great comfort on gravel roads . Especially for someone like me weighing 100 kg !

Pros & Cons

400 km in the South of France, very good grip on different surfaces (road, gravel, wet), more confidence on the roads, not too much wear compared to other tires I've tried.

Pros & Cons

3500 km rear tire, tread a little less but not yet worn out. Front tire, nothing to see yet.

Pros & Cons

All experience from Stewart to end with shop was really good.

Pros & Cons

I had purchased these tires for my Decathlon Riverside that I use both for transportation and cycling in the great outdoors. I wanted a tire that would allow me to go into the woods as well as not have too much rolling resistance on asphalt. I went for the 38mm width, and these tires fulfill that task perfectly! I can ride in the woods just fine and keep a good grip on sand, forest trails, gravel and soggy grass. Short stretches through mud, and the occasional MTB route also go fine. On really loose dry sand, they slip a little every now and then, but not to the point that I immediately go under. All in all, I am super satisfied and can definitely recommend them! It's too early to say anything about puncture resistance or wear.

Pros & Cons

The tire is very, very good... For dry weather, however, for the mounting, I had to go over it several times, and with great difficulty to mount the tire entirely on the rim ... I really fear a puncture, I would not know how to reassemble it while being on the road and in a less comfortable position.

Pros & Cons

Apart from real blubber, the tire otherwise rides nicely everywhere. Not much rolling resistance on the road either.

Pros & Cons

Fine band.

Pros & Cons

Fitted the 38mm version directly tubeless with Cyclon HQ Sealant to my Dt Swiss 1800 wheelset. Didn't need a compressor, just with my SKS pump they plopped right on! Even at 1.5 bar ride well and plenty of grip.

Pros & Cons

Fast on paved surfaces, plenty of grip when needed. A muddy forest path may be a bridge too far, but otherwise the Aventura is a winner! I ride this (44mm) tire tubeless, after almost 4000 kilometers 0.0 problems. The rear tire is now starting to show some wear. Next round I will go for these Vredesteins again, but the skinwall variant. Lovely ride on this Dutch tire!

Pros & Cons

Nice tires, good grip on dirt yet low rolling resistance on asphalt. Have the 44mm variant, look cool on my gravel bike.

Pros & Cons

Falls well on the rim. Are super nice on my gravel bike.

Pros & Cons

Bought tires for my wife's MTB who likes to do gravel rides. She likes them very much. Little rolling resistance on asphalt.

Pros & Cons

After less than 3 months front tire torn left and right on the edge of the cheek and tire. Not flat ridden,but not very common. Wonder what the reaction/solution will be but should i buy this tire again i am currently fitting. If it is warranty I will give t a chance but not best okay doeei

Pros & Cons

Long in doubt which tire to get for my gravel/cross/road bike. In the end I chose the Aventura because the tread seemed to fit my needs, it is tubeless ready, it is reasonably priced and a little bit because Vredestein is a Dutch company ;-) I have now ridden about 300 km, 80% offroad/MTB routes and 20% paved, and I have nothing to be desired. Of course I can't say anything about durability and puncture resistance yet.

Pros & Cons

Top bands!

Pros & Cons

On paved and not too loose terrain a relief after the fat studded tires I had. Fine (no) noise and still a bit tough.

Pros & Cons

Nice wide 44 mm tires. Because they are somewhat large you can ride at low pressure. Perfect grip even in the forest, mud and snow.

Pros & Cons

Excellent product! Easy tubeless mounting. Good grip on bends and correct performance on 38 section roads! I recommend
