Schwalbe G-ONE RS 700c Gravel Tire

If you read my review of the 1st Gen, G-One RS 40's then everything I said there applies here, but the 45 just adds more comfort, more capability on rougher terrain and even more smooth suppleness overall. The 45's weigh 552 and 550 and settled in at 46.1mm F and 46.4mm R inflated to 29 PSI F and 31 PSI R after a ride on Enve 4.5 SES, 25mm internal rims. Although they are heavy, you don't feel the weight so don't be put off by that, the savings in rolling resistance will far outweigh any weight penalty. The setup was a breeze and the tires are holding air well. These tires roll fast, corner well and have excellent grip. The 45's just amplify what the 40's offer, but will undoubtedly be faster than the 40 on rough surfaces.

I have the 700'50 brown version. Super fast rolling and have survived super chunky gravel and trail without flats (yet, over 500 miles so far). Tubeless setup with sealant, of course.

I put these on my gravel bike - Trek Checkpoint, DT-Swiss Wheels, 700C X 45 mm. I set these up with TPU tubes because I don't want to deal with the tubeless mess + I only ride my gravel bike about 20 times per year (only in the winter). I ride at 30 PSI (165 lb). No issues with pinch flats. Great grip on gravel and mud as the tread is soft and supple. Also, it's fast on smooth tarmac - almost as fast as my road bike (Cervelo Caledonia with Elite Wheels + Conti GP 5000 (32 mm) + tpu tubes).

Love these tyres, I have them in 50mm version installed tubeless on my Crux. Easy enough to install, roll smoothly, look great and - hope I don't jinx myself - puncture resistant so far. Strong recommend.

I like Schwalbe as a brand and have used their tires in various bikes. These went on my Wilde Earth Ship and couldn't be happier with the grip and speed.

Great tire for riding a mix of pavement and light gravel. Very fast.

This review is the for 40c tire. Inflated on Enve G23 wheels and after riding, they settled in at 40mm @ 34psi. Weight was 465 & 473. I am still experimenting but using the SRAM PSI app as a guide, running them at 34 f, 36r. Coming off of Specialized S-Works Pathfinders (42) provided an excellent comparison of 2 of the fastest tires. The G-One RS are clearly faster tires as evidenced on ride times and power meter readings. The G-One's are supremely Supple, despite the narrower width, on firm smooth dirt/gravel (Steamboat) they feel very similar to a challenge tire and significantly quieter than the PF's on paved surfaces. They have fantastic grip on steeper climbs and braking was better than the PF's. The side lugs work well for added grip and stability. They corner very well, and you can feel the side lugs engage in loose stone/sand when angling the bike. The PF's (inflate to 45 on G23's) do have a slight edge for compliance when the roads get rougher but the G-One RS's more than make up for any lost time once things become smoother and didn't feel out of their element, just not as compliant. Overall, the G-One RS's are faster and even more supple and smooth on hardpacked Dirt/gravel surfaces (grade 1-2) but aren't as compliant on Grade 3 surfaces as the PF's, but still do a good job on those conditions. The rebound (hysteresis) of this tire is exceptional and undoubtedly part of what makes this tire so fast and supple. Riding on moderate washboard, it felt stable and composed, equal to the PF. I give the G-One higher overall scores. If you ride on smoother, more consistent surfaces and ride on sections of paved with some grade 3 surfaces, these tires are exceptional.

Great tire just not the most durable. Would def buy again

Schwalbe G-ONE RS 700cc x 40 gravel tires are the best of the best. This tire is so fast on most gravel conditions, I'd say 2 mph faster for the same effort on flat and downhills. It's just as good going uphill, it just doesn't "feel faster"; it's just easier. I pity the folks who have to follow me with more aggressive mtn bike bias tread, although I usually just slow down a little (when they're looking). Of course I ride these tires tubeless somewhere between 35 psi and 60 psi (when I'm 100% on the pavement cuz there's still now on the FSRs). I have had several punctures from road and trail debris, including thorns and a small screw. Quick stop, rotate the leak to 6 o'clock, press a bit, seal the leak, wait 1 minute, and continue on my adventure. The last pair lasted between 1500-2000 miles, and they did thin where the rubber meets the road, so I replaced them with same same. Bit pricey, but if you love going fast on gravel, they are worth every dolla!

These Schwalbe G-One RS tires are the best I've used so far. There fast and excellent puncture resistance. I like them so much I also purchased these in 35 & 45mm sizes. I complimented these tires with the SILCA tubelss sealant. I recommend these awesome tires.

I bought this not for gravel use but for use in Winter. In winter, we have lots of rainy days with temp between 0-5c. So to have avoid slippery roads I got these tires. I am pretty happy with them and have experienced no issue. Only tiny non-issue is the fact that when I tried to pop the tires on, it took more than recommended PSI to get it sit on the bead properly. I had to go ~10 PSI higher and be a bit patient for the tire to pop on the bead. Once done, I removed the excess air from the tire and adjust PSI to what I wanted and tire was sitting on bead with no issue. Overall happy and recommend it.

Rode the C&O and GAP Trails in DC, MD and Pa. The tire was unstoppable on hard packed dirt, bumps, ruts and gravel - the best I've ever ridden!

I bought some of these second hand, low miles, in size 35mm. They were destined for an "all road bike" and/or an older cross frame I was building up with limited clearance. Otherwise I'm on the "bigger is better" train for gravel bike tires. But seeing as the 700x45s are unobtanium, I was pretty happy to have had a good reason to run 35s. Let me tell you, these tires are fast af. They have a super sticky and soft compound that feels premium, I'm not sure how long they'll hold up. I haven't run them on any really gnarly stuff yet, just a couple gravel rides, some play around on buff xc trails and a bit of loose dirt road descending. I will say they are not the most confidence inspiring in terms of grip. But they are 35s, and I'm not expecting much. I'd say they perform about as well as a 35 slick would + a little extra. Run them a tad lower pressure and I think they will perform admirably but not astonishingly well. There are other tire choices if that's your bag. They were designed for the SBT course and I think they'd excel there and in similar conditions. I myself raced SBT on Challenge Strada 36mms and thought they were just right.

Have about 400 miles so far on these and am very impressed. 700x45. Have ridden hard packed and loose gravel, road and chunky class 4 up and down. Tubeless - 29 psi in the rear, 27 in the front on 25 internal. 6'2 and 173.

Confident in the corners and FAST. The light center tread is holding up well. I recommend these highly for someone looking for a fast rolling gravel tire that performs!

Probably the best tracking tires I've ever used. These tires do a great job on every variety of gravel and are so fast. However, the slightest bit of slick mud will absolutely obliterate these tires.

Bought these for my Trek Checkpoint for some more speed on the road. They have been great for bothon and offraod and are very fast. Going to be getting another set in 700x35's for my wifes bike.

I got these tires for racing at SBT GRVL, as I wanted something fast, but prefer to have some grip rather than a total slick. I could not have chosen a better tire. I rode the 100 mile Blue course, composed of mostly well groomed, wide gravel roads, but the course does have a few trickier sections. There was primitive, non-technical single and double track, some silty, rutted Jeep road, and a single descent with ruts, bumps and some bigger loose rocks. The tires inflated out to 40 mm on my Roval 25 mm (inner) width rims, and I ran them at 35 psi R and 33 PSI F. They ended up being fast everywhere, including on the road sections which were mostly flat and downhill with lots of fast drafting. The ride was supple and very comfortable. And, they had enough grip for me to pretty much be passing folks everytime we came to any descent with cornering, as I was confident in both the grip, and the feedback the tires gave as to when they might start to slip a bit. These are highly recommended for fast gravel riding and racing in mostly dry conditions.

The G-One RS 45mm is a great tire. I've ridden other Schwalbe variants and a couple of IRC tires. This is by far my favorite. It was easily mounted tubeless with a floor pump. It's pretty fast on the road, but it more shines off-road with it supple sidewalls. I can't speak much to the durability since the terrain I ride doesn't really have sharp rocks, but it's held up just fine for the 500 miles. I will be buying them again.

These tires are a great blend of gravel and road. That's perfect for me because I sometimes commute on bike paths to work on my gravel bike. They roll nicely, grip well, and are super light.

These tires are plush enough for gravel, smooth enough for pavement, and grippy enough for light singletrack. Get 'em!
