Schwalbe G-One RS PRO 45mm Graveldæk

Schwalbe G-One RS Pro 45mm Gravel tire offers a wide range of advanced benefits for the serious cyclist seeking the optimal balance between unsurpassed speed, low rolling resistance, and superior comfort over long distances. This tire is part of Schwalbe's renowned Evolution Line, representing the absolute top class in bicycle tire technology. With a width of 45 mm and dimensions of 700x45C (45-622), the tire achieves a significantly larger volume compared to smaller versions like the 40 mm tire. This increased volume allows the tire to absorb irregularities, vibrations, and impacts from the surface incredibly effectively, directly reducing physical fatigue on very long and demanding gravel routes. The tire's construction is based on the innovative Super Race and Pro carcass, which utilizes a so-called Souplesse construction. This ensures an extremely supple, compliant, and sensitive riding experience, where the tire rolls smoothly over the terrain and maintains maximum contact with the surface. The carcass has a density of 67 EPI or TPI, which further contributes to the robust structure without compromising flexibility. The choice of materials includes the high-tech Addix Race dual-compound rubber blend, which is specially formulated to deliver exceptional grip during cornering, excellent wear resistance, and reliable traction in wet weather conditions. Additionally, the tire is equipped with an integrated V-Guard puncture protection layer. V-Guard consists of an extremely lightweight and cut-resistant high-tech fabric that protects the tread against sharp objects like flint and glass without adding unnecessary weight or increasing rolling resistance. The tire is also approved with an E-25 certification for e-bikes, meaning it is fully tested and approved for use on e-bikes with assistance up to 25 kilometers per hour. The maximum load capacity is 100 kg per tire, and the tire's weight is specified between 515 grams and 530 grams, highlighting its lightweight race-oriented nature. Visually, the tire presents itself with a sleek black tread and a transparent or tan skin sidewall, giving the bike a classic and sporty appearance.

Yes, the Schwalbe G-One RS Pro 45mm is fully compatible with tubeless systems thanks to Schwalbe's advanced Tubeless Ready Easy (TLE / TLR) technology. This modern construction makes it possible to mount the tire without the use of an inner tube, which opens up a range of significant performance benefits on gravel roads and forest trails. One of the absolute greatest advantages of using a tubeless setup with this tire is the ability to ride with a significantly lower tire pressure than in a traditional setup with a tube. The tire has a specified maximum operating pressure of between 55 PSI and 65 PSI (which corresponds to up to 4.5 bar), but by riding tubeless, you can lower the pressure in a controlled manner to achieve a significantly larger contact area with the surface. This results in a significantly improved grip on loose surfaces as well as a noticeable increase in riding comfort, as the tire can better conform to unevenness, stones, and roots. Furthermore, a tubeless system drastically reduces the risk of punctures, especially the dreaded so-called snakebites or pinch punctures, which typically occur when a tube is squeezed hard against the rim during an impact. Should small holes or cuts occur in the tire while riding, the liquid tubeless sealant in the tire will automatically and instantly seal the damage from the inside, allowing you to continue your ride without stopping. Schwalbe has also optimized the sidewalls on this model, so they are now a full 18 percent more resistant to cuts and damage compared to previous standards, providing extra protection against sharp rocks and flint stones. At the same time, the tire's construction with a folding bead is designed so that it is significantly easier and more convenient to mount and inflate on modern tubeless-compatible rims. This makes the tire the ideal choice for serious riders and competitive cyclists who want maximum reliability in changing terrain.

The pattern on the Schwalbe G-One RS Pro is specifically developed and optimized to achieve the absolute lowest rolling resistance in the entire Schwalbe G-One series, making the tire extremely fast on hard surfaces. The tread is designed with a completely unique and well-thought-out pattern, divided into zones to handle various off-road driving challenges. Along the tire's centerline, you will find a densely structured, scaled micro-tread, where the small knobs are placed very close together. This special pattern ensures an almost continuous rolling surface, allowing the bike to maintain a very high average speed on smooth gravel, dry forest roads, and long stretches of asphalt without wasting valuable energy on unnecessary friction. As you move away from the centerline towards the sides of the tire, the pattern changes in favor of prominent and higher horizontal shoulder knobs. These powerful side knobs act as effective claws that come into play as soon as the bike is leaned into a turn or undergoes hard braking. They provide the rider with unmatched traction and maximum lateral grip on loose gravel, dusty corners, or under changing and challenging weather conditions. This combination makes the tire incredibly versatile, delivering the speed of a racing tire on straightaways and the stability and control of a mountain bike tire in technical sections. The tire's design is therefore created specifically for gravel racing, riding in lighter terrain, on hard surfaces, as well as on paved roads where you do not want to compromise on speed. Thanks to the Addix Race rubber compound and the well-thought-out tread design, the tire also achieves excellent grip in wet conditions, completing its status as a high-performance tire for varied routes.
