Schwalbe G-One RS Pro Gravel Tyre

Very fast tyres on roads and rolling roads, with excellent performance. They're also comfortable to ride, even on longer outings or more irregular sections.

Tyre is easy to get on rim, but quite difficult to plop on. According to the internet, Schalwbe does not take the sizing of this tyre very closely and this is a known problem. Had a puncture soon, sealant didn't work, emergency tube in. That doesn't work with this tyre, you get a bulge. Furthermore, the tyre seems quite thin and the tread is already partly worn off after 2 months at not very many kilometres for a tyre. And so punctures, moderate. A fast tyre on the road though and I find the grip excellent. But would not buy it again.

Pros & Cons

Very fast tyre with good grip on gravel, though very prone to wear and punctures but this can be solved with enough and the right sealant.

Pros & Cons

Excellent tyre. Tubeless made with barkeeper from Dynamic. However, the rear tyre still sweats a bit after 2 rides. Front tyre didn't suffer from anything.

Pros & Cons

Nice tyre, rolls like crazy. But in first 4 rides three punctures in rear tyre. Twice not so bad, small holes sealed by sealant: Once between the ribs and once on the tread. But also once a big hole that could only be sealed with 4 plugs. Maybe it's a coincidence and just a lot of bad luck, but I haven't experienced that many punctures with a new tyre in 155,000km. According to Mantel, not a case for warranty because external cause (isn't that always the case with a puncture?). Meanwhile, confidence in the tyre is pretty much gone. Oh yes, I rode with 50mm/2" for the first time. The advantage should be that you can ride with lower pressure. I rode with 2 bar (not extremely low anyway) and the rear tyre didn't feel stable in corners, with 3 bar in the tyre it did. Must be to do with the size (?), I had to get very used to it. Very comfortable, of course.
