Reviews over the

Schwalbe Pro One TLE

This is the second time I have bought them, I have found them to be very good, very smooth and durable and performing

Pros & Cons

Good first impression. I don't have strong hands but was fairly easy to fit, 1 tyre needed help for the final push. Did need the tyre booster to pop them into the rim. Tyres are also nicely round and don't sway, but they shouldn't for the price, although they are one of the cheaper premium TL tyres out there at the moment. No idea how hard-wearing they are, only been riding them for about 2 weeks.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

I took these tires because I have hookless wheels and they are also on the list of tires officially prescribed by the manufacturer of the wheels. Moreover, I have been riding the regular folding Schwalbe Pro One tire for almost 2 seasons with very good riding experience. Fitting the tubless tire was really fine. By initially inflating the tires after mounting with a regular floor pump ( Topeak Job Blow) to over 7 bar, the tires pop and set up well in the hookless rims. Then I was able to take out the inside of the special tubeless valve and then run Doc Blue's sealant in. Quietly rotating the tire around and also moving across to distribute the sealant nicely on the inside of the tire. Then I replaced the valve core and inflated the tire to a maximum of 5 bar and the tire was perfectly airtight. This was true for both the front tire and the rear tire. With that, mounting this tire is really quite doable in practice and I do not experience any problem with the tire not getting airtight. Hookless wheels in this case are the Giant SLR 1 (hookless). The real road riding experience will follow. Tip. Use Doc Blue sealant from Schwalbe. It works great and make sure you have a valve where you can unscrew the inner tube to spray sealant into the tire through the valve this way.

Pros & Cons

I would like to use this tyre with an inner tube for the time being, but for now I am running into a problem. The tyre is so tight that it does not set against the rim flange. Meanwhile, after several tries with the front wheel, I have managed it, but the rear wheel is still being worked on. I have never experienced this with other brands. Certainly not with an inner tube. Other than that, it looks solid.

Pros & Cons

Great tire that bolts smoothly. Lots of grip in the corners and therefore you dare more. I ride this tire tubeless at about 5.5 bar rear and 4.7 bar front. A few small punctures were sealed by Latex in the first 5000km. The last larger puncture became fatal but I bought the same tire again. The only disadvantage is that when I had a larger puncture I could barely get the tire off the rim and had to "fiddle" a lot to get back on the road.

Pros & Cons

Great product

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

Great shipping service and great product I am already on my fourth

Pros & Cons

These tyres are the grippiest I’ve used and light too. Service from Mantel is just excellent. Great price and fast delivery every time

Pros & Cons

I had had the 2019s and had a great time never a puncture. The 2020s also have a very good compound sliding soft to the point provides comfort and grip. Big flaw, also reported by other reviews, they lose pressure quickly. I put them in water and verified the presence of several leaks all on the sidewall of the tire. They are tiny as if they were open "pores." Dealt with recurring manufacturing defect...with what they cost...I think I will change at next purchase

Pros & Cons

Meanwhile drive my second set of Schwalbe Pro One TLE and am very happy with it!

Pros & Cons

The tire is excellent, but I expected putting it on would be easier.

Pros & Cons

Has been my favourite all year tubeless tyre with a fast rolling resistance & ease of fitting. Have been able to eke out about 6-7000 for the rear, possibly 8000 for the front, subject to number of cuts/repairs. Use with Stans Race sealant & repair with tyre plugs but the sealant usually plugs the holes. Strong tubeless bead makes it the recommended tyre for hookless rims

Pros & Cons

I found these very easy to fit on my tubeless ready rims. I had previously tried to mount the previous generation of Schwalbe Pro Ones, but gave up after I couldn't get them to inflate even with a co2 pump. This latest version however was a doddle, easy to get on the rim with only my fingers, remove the valve insert, co2 pump and boom.... Inflated instantly. Once beaded on the rim simply insert your sealant fluid of choice and refit the valve and pump with your normal track pump. Size wise I was looking for a 25mm tire that didn't bulk up on my 23/19mm width rims. Yhese came out at exactly 25mm, (the older version was almost 28mm which caused some chainstay rub on my Cannondale Supersix). As for riding, these are great, definitely the fastest tyres that I've ridden, but also with plenty of grip. Being able to run with a slightly lower pressure than traditional tubed clincher tyres also greatly increases the comfort... Especially on broken or rough surfaces.

Pros & Cons

Definitely meets expectations

Pros & Cons

Have only 100km with the tire Runter. But the "Easy" in the name has been confirmed when mounting. Easy mounting without compressor possible ... which was also my reason for buying.

Pros & Cons

Increased comfort and performance compared with the 25 Immediate mounting with virtually no need for tyre levers and a simple pump to clamp onto Vaccine rims Great look on a matt black frame

I had the previous version and was able to mount it as tubeless with moderate effort. This one I ended up taking to my LBS for their compressed air line. The product packaging is OTT - a shiny box inside a shiny sleeve box, which Mantel then put in a large packaging box. It might be premium, but is this necessary? Rolls very nicely though and I got good service from the previous one until it was gashed.

Pros & Cons

Just fitted and had short ride. So far so good

Pros & Cons

Excellent product

Good tires, rolling and resistant. Highly recommended

Pros & Cons

Great TL from Schwalbe. Sizes true or even a bit bigger. Lightweight too.

Pros & Cons

I have tried several tubeless tires and I have not found one that meets all aspects, mounting, beading, good behavior with the liquid, grip and feeling of safety and comfort. I have not ridden much yet and I can not comment on its durability, but it seems to me a very complete product, good in all essential aspects.

Pros & Cons

In my opinion it's the fastest tyre I've used to date My only problem is re inflating the tyre after adding sealant as its hard to pop it on the bead

Pros & Cons

Great tyres. Won’t bother trying any more as these are just superb. Done over 3000 miles without issue or punctures that needed a stop.

Pros & Cons

Very easy to fit. Great seal. No need for a booster pump. Normal floor pump will do.

Pros & Cons

I am now using these super rubbers for the 2nd time and even dare to go off-road with them

Pros & Cons

Nice looking tyres at a great price from Mantel and arrived in Uk super quick. Easy to fit onto the rims (Zipp 303s). They look great but lose a star for being really hard to get seated onto the rim. Not sure why, have had Pro One’s before and never had any issues. Tried high volume pump, compressor, air blaster, inner tubes in overnight, only thing that worked in the end was using an old inner tube as a strap around the outside of the tyre and then inflating it. Once seated they have kept their air even without sealant.

Pros & Cons

Fitting was tricky. Tire was easy to inflate with a regular bike pump though (Mavic UST rims). Second ride short bit of gravel path riding and a large cut in the tread that did not seal with latex. What a big setback with a tire of almost €50. I put a big sticker on the inside but when inflating the tire it starts to spread at the spot of the hole. Is this covered under warranty or is it bad luck and should I buy another tire next time?

Pros & Cons

First ride thought tyres were soft the ride was so smooth, immediately noticed lower rolling resistance over previous Schwalbe One's but have picked up a a couple of visible cuts in first 200 miles.

Pros & Cons

Super tire, best tubeless tire in my opinion!!!

Pros & Cons

Have now ridden 2000km on these 25mm tires. Ride wonderfully smooth, Mounting was fine (Zipp 404) myself I use schwalbe easy fit and Schwalbe expansion barrel The tires look nice, and do not pick up small stones from the golf terrain where I often ride for a long time. The rear tire can last another 2000km if I compare the wear markings, the front tire is still like new. First experience with Tubeless and I like it, Very nice tires. Next time I will order a 28mm tire for the rear.

Pros & Cons

Fast tyres. Fast delivery. Simples.

Pros & Cons

Had my wheels made tubeless by an expert. While cycling air loss +sealant loss, bike was well covered in junk. It goes well if you don't take high speed turns. Now I ride with inner tubes. A waste of money.

Pros & Cons

Fantastic tyre, the new model is even better and the old one was pretty good

Pros & Cons

Used a pair of these for a whole summer with not one puncture that needed repairing. All cuts etc repaired themselves until the rear eventually gave up. I’d say value for money and piece of mind

Pros & Cons

The tires ride very nicely and have good grip. Already rode flat once though and the tubeless milk didn't get the hole closed. They also look nice I think.

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Great tyre for a smooth and fast ride at a lower pressure. A bit hard to install but when in place there is no chance of it falling off the rim - and it makes for an easy airtight inflation.

Pros & Cons

Mounted on sl1 giant hookles rims. I have to say I had no problems fitting them. Very good grip on the road. I recommend them

Pros & Cons

These tyres are great but I only seem to get 3,000 km out of them.

Pros & Cons

Mounted 2nd 25 mm. Previous one lasted 2 days before it was empty through numerous holes in the cheeks. According to Schwalbe this is normal, but not sealed by the latex. This week I mounted a new 25mm and it was flat within 24 hours. Again through the cheeks. Find it strange because it does not occur with the 28mm on my rear wheel.

Pros & Cons

I have been using tubeless on my road bike for several years and almost always scwalbe pro one, I find that they are very good tires, smooth and also comfortable, the only note is that some specimens were easily punctured while with others, always pro one, I went the whole season without puncture

Pros & Cons

Easy to install

Pros & Cons

After 1000km mounted tubeless, 1st front tyre puncture on the sidewall, 2nd rear tyre puncture on the sidewall. To sum up, I'm very disappointed with my purchase. I would not recommend this 28mm tyre.

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.

I have purchased 9 of these tyres and am now running them on three different bikes and as yet have never had so much as a puncture.

Pros & Cons

Excellent product, very smooth clincher, very well made. Much easier assembly than other brands/models.

Pros & Cons

Already worn out after 2000km, is really too fast

Pros & Cons

Tires used for the past 3 years mainly for medium distances (150 to 300km). Hold up pretty well in the rain.

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

Great tyre and easy to fit in comparison to other tubeless tyres I’ve fitted before and sealed with just a track pump. However, that maybe down to the wheels by going from Cannondales Hollowgram to Zipp 303 Firecrest.

Pros & Cons

Great tubeless tire together with the Zipp 303s a dream

Pros & Cons

One of the best tubeless tires on the market, easy to mount by hand, heel with foot pump. The grip and rolling resistance is top. Very satisfied with the tire.

Pros & Cons

Product fully meets expectations. Bit of patience needed to order but succeeded.

Pros & Cons

I have used these now for around 5 weeks and have put about 350 miles on them. Overall i'm disappointed in the performance. They appear to have virtually no puncture resistance as evidenced by the hiss on every ride i've had so far. The last ride, i had 5 punctures, with the sealant able to cope with 4 of them but not the 5th. The front tyre has delaminated making it unusable, Very poor i'd say.

Pros & Cons

Lightweight, comfortable and apparently very hard-wearing; it's this last feature that surprised me the most. Easy to assemble, can be clipped on with a foot pump.

Pros & Cons

After a set-up failure with GP 5000s, I turned to the Pro One. You still need a good grip for the last 20 centimetres, but nothing to worry about. Performance is good at 6bars for 75 kilos, and comfort isn't bad either. On the other hand, one tire weighed 300g and the other 287g! Well above the weight advertised by Schwalbe !!!!

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

Very comfortable, dynamic 28x700 tire that mounts easily on mavic rims. The only minor complaint is that, after 500 km and with the product injected at the time of fitting, the tire did not maintain its pressure (-3 bar in one week).

Pros & Cons

Very easy to fit if you start on the opposite side of the valve. And once you get to the valve, push it up as it were into the tyre and this makes the last part of the tyre mount even better on the wheel.

Pros & Cons

my previous set I rode completely bare and not 1 leak

Pros & Cons

Bought as a replacement for the same schwalbe pro one TLE, I never change it, it resists everything, well except maybe the spike that got lodged in it, but I don't blame it ;)

Waardeloze band. Poreuze zijkanten. Niet te dichten ook niet met veel latex. Blijkbaar bekend maar geen service ervaren van Mantel.

Pros & Cons

Looks not much puncture resistance, but still recommended fast and comfortable

Pros & Cons

Very nice tyres that roll nicely and have excellent puncture resistance and durability for such fast tyres. Have tried many tyres like vitoria corso and conti's, but since having these (now my 3rd set) I don't want anything else. Experience is based on tubeless riding.

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

Very good service

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

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

Very soft tires, give great driving confidence (we'll see durability). They have a very high quality. They give the impression of being very smooth. Compared to other tubeless I've used, they go down a bit in pressure, but I always check it before going out.

Pros & Cons

Bought to replace the previous version of this tyre that had worn out quicker than expected. Great tyre though hence trying the new version. A little tricky initially to fit on Prime carbon wheels but a load of dish soap sorted it.

Pros & Cons

Reliable product, good road holding. Rare puncture. Very good wear

I bought these to replace Schwable Pro One TLE 25mm 2016 model but the new tyres are a lot smaller than the old ones (-14% by volume using V=2ᴨᴨRrr) which means they are not as comfortable. I think that the new 28mm are the same size as the old 25's. very disappointing!

Pros & Cons

Excellent tubeless in everything... Second pair I buy... Only flaw the actual weight of 300/310 grams for the 700×28mm size...(270gr manufacturer!!)...

Pros & Cons

Very smooth, fast tyre. Easy to seat and install. Noticed a couple of small nicks after the first few rides so remains to be seen how well they last, but no p*nctures yet

Pros & Cons

Perfect delivery and competitive price

Pros & Cons

Easy tyre, but for tubeless you always need a tyre nipper, otherwise you can't get it around the rim with your bare hands. They never tell you that!

Perfect tire for me! Very smooth, and lots of grip!

Pros & Cons

A very good clincher especially in terms of road holding the consumption is average around 5000km the rear obviously deteriorates a little earlier but at 5000 you get there.

Pros & Cons

Last season I managed to do 8,000km without a single flat and some rubber left! So very happy. They are confidence inspiring round corners and ADDIX compound in my opinion is on par with Conti's Black Chilli. I have jumped to Conti GP5000 in interims but never committed to them as long as these. They do not have the suppleness of a set of Turbo Cottons or Corsa's but they are far from gross like some other Schwalbes's and tyres in this range. They fit at 28mm on my 19mm external rims. Which is handy considering clearance on my bike is limited. They are also over 50grams lighter than said GP5000 per tyre which is a lot on the rotating mass scale.

Pros & Cons

Bought these from mantel and arrived in a few days to the UK. Easy to install and fit tubeless tyres onto hookless rims. Good service received from mantel

Pros & Cons

Fitted to replace Pirelli which was too fragile. Off to do the Granfondio Stelvio without even doing 1 Klm beforehand to break them in. No problems and absolute confidence all the way to the summit.

Pros & Cons

In addition to being very smooth, they give a great feeling of safety when cornering and descending.

Tires easy to Fit by hand, pumps up with normal track pump. Good mileage achieved on these with great puncture protection.

Pros & Cons

For the summer, I mounted these tires (with tubes) on my Mavic Allroad Gravel Wheels. This allowed me to convert my Koga Colmaro, which already has fast geometry, into a real racer. On the asphalt, this allows me to easily keep up with racers like the Trek AL bikes. My rims are quite wide (23mm internally), the 28mm tires, which I have, are quite difficult to fit because of this. I haven't punctured them with several hundred km so haven't needed to replace them next to the road yet either, but this is where I'm kind of looking forward to it. Once they are on, they are perfect, which is why 'Stug' is both a plus and a minus.

Pros & Cons

Good purchase

Pros & Cons

Schwalbi Pro One TLE tyres I have used for years as they have consistent quality. Used another popular DE make but two sets had side walls cracking problems.

Pros & Cons

Tires went on well and bulged very softly

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.

Pros & Cons

Easy to set up tubeless

Pros & Cons

You really feel that you are glued to the asphalt

Pros & Cons

Incredibly easy to mount on wheel and inflates with a track pump first time. Very smooth rolling.

Pros & Cons

The predecessor, the Ultremo was already leaking when bad weather was predicted:) The One is much better, also gets few grooves. Rides very nicely wb grip and rolling resistance.

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

Second set of Pro One 25mm wide tubeless road tyres that I use and very very well, quite durable, the rear one 5000 km. And the front one even more. 284g. Heavy for me, no punctures and they heel very well. Much better overall than the GP5000, they last twice as long and weigh a little less.

Good, sacrifice expense for quality and wear

Pros & Cons

great experience with Mantel, really easy to use the web site and amazing delivery.

Pros & Cons

Contrary to what I read in a review, the tire was fine to mount. Certainly no more difficult than other tires. First rides went fine. Puncture resistance and durability cannot be judged at this time, you can only tell after a few months.

Pros & Cons
