Aggressive knobs and race-bred construction come together in the G-One RX Pro, Schwalbe's gravel tire for rough terrain. Where the G-One R handles mixed surfaces and the RS prioritizes speed on hardpack, the RX Pro fills the gap when conditions turn technical—loose rock, mud, rooty singletrack. The tread combines chevron-shaped center lugs that keep rolling resistance low with widely spaced intermediate knobs and paired outer blocks that dig in when you lean into corners or brake hard on loose surfaces. The open spacing clears mud rather than packing it in, and Schwalbe drew from both the G-One R and X-One cyclocross tire when developing the pattern.

The Race Pro carcass represents an evolution from Schwalbe's previous Super Race construction, maintaining equivalent weight while improving puncture protection and rolling characteristics. Two carcass layers wrap under the tread with three along the sidewalls, delivering supple ride feel without sacrificing cut resistance on rocky descents. Schwalbe widened the V-Guard puncture protection belt compared to previous generations, extending coverage across more of the tire's vulnerable underside where flats typically occur. ADDIX Race compound uses a dual durometer layout—harder rubber in the center for durability and rolling efficiency, softer rubber on the shoulders for wet grip and cornering bite.

Tubeless Ready construction seats easily on hookless and hooked rims alike, and the folding bead makes the RX Pro packable as a spare on longer bikepacking routes. Schwalbe rates it E-25 for compatibility with pedal-assist bikes up to 25 km/h. Fair Rubber certification means the natural rubber comes from fairly traded sources—a detail that reflects how the tire is made rather than how it performs.... Read More
