SchwalbeG-ONE Overland 700c Gravel Tire(Return to Product Page)

Bought these this year for the Cascade events. They're awesome. Roll pretty fast on pavement. Handle all the gravel surfaces well. Ride a fair bit of single track with them too and they grip surprisingly well. Even on the slippery Bend trails. Have also been pleasantly surprised with puncture resistance going over some sharp rocks.

Put two 700x50's on a Kona Sutra ahead of a trip to the Alberta Rockies. The bike previously had toured on 700x40 Conti Terra Trails, but those were a little too narrow for the off-road trails we often hit. The Overlands provide a lots of contact patch, lots of cush, very reasonable traction in loose dirt, and still roll very nicely on pavement. It's hard to find a true touring tire in this size (or 29x2.0) that blends on and off-road so well. Hoping these hold up for a long time through commuting, touring, and light trail action.

I've been running Rene Herse Oracle Ridge tires on my gravel bike for the past three years. I didn't think they could be improved upon�until now. These Schwalbe G-ONE Overlands are noticeably faster on pavement. So much so that I'm thinking about getting bigger chainrings; I'm spinning out in places I didn't before. Yet the Overlands have plenty of bite in the loose stuff�perhaps a bit less than the Rene Herse tires, but not by much. Then there is the issue of cost. Sixty something is so much better than ninety something. Finally, there's flat protection. Even with the Endurance casing, I was getting the occasional flat with the Oracle Ridges. Time will tell, but I'm confident these Schwalbes have better flat protection.

I ride on Gravel and Road, but Idaho gravel is loose so it�s hard to use a semi slick. I bought these and I already beat a KOM on a gravel section. They are about 1 mph slower than my road GP5000, but that�s to be expected. These are fast and very grippy.

Good tread, grippy and rolls well on pavement
