Within Schwalbe's R line of race gravel tires, the G-One R Pro occupies the middle ground—faster than the aggressive RX Pro on hardpack, grippier than the semi-slick RS Pro when conditions deteriorate. That positioning makes the G-One R Pro the natural choice when you don't know exactly what a route will throw at you, or when your rides regularly mix pavement, maintained gravel, and the occasional rougher section. The boomerang-shaped center tread rolls efficiently in a straight line while the pattern's interlocking geometry maintains traction during climbs when you're putting power down out of the saddle.

Angled side knobs extend beyond the center tread and engage progressively as you lean into corners. Combined with the supple Race Pro carcass, this design delivers predictable grip through turns rather than the sudden breakaway you'd get from a semi-slick on loose surfaces. The carcass construction uses two layers under the tread and three along the sidewalls, balancing cut resistance against suppleness. Schwalbe widened the V-Guard puncture protection belt for this generation, covering more of the tire's underside where sharp debris typically penetrates.

ADDIX Race compound applies a dual durometer approach—harder rubber in the center where you need durability and lower rolling resistance, softer rubber on the shoulders where grip matters during cornering and wet conditions. Independent testing consistently ranks the G-One R among the fastest-rolling treaded gravel tires, which explains why Schwalbe-sponsored athletes have used it at events like Unbound and the UCI Gravel World Championships. The tire handles race-day demands without leaving you underequipped when conditions turn technical.... Read More
