Souplesse—the silky, fatigue-reducing ride quality that tubular devotees chase—drove Schwalbe's Pro One Tubeless development from the start. This 2-pack puts a matched pair of tires on your road bike, delivering consistent handling characteristics front and rear. The Super Race carcass achieves that tubular-like feel through turn-up construction that integrates Tubeless Easy technology at the structural level rather than adding it as an afterthought. At 127 threads per inch, the tight weave creates a thin, flexible foundation that conforms to pavement texture instead of skipping across it.

Tubeless operation eliminates the friction between tire and tube that saps energy in traditional setups. The casing flexes freely, maintaining ground contact through surface irregularities where a tubed tire would bounce. Combined with lower operating pressures—tubeless allows you to run softer without risking pinch flats—the Pro One delivers grip and comfort that translates directly to reduced fatigue on long rides. Professional road and triathlon teams have validated this at the highest levels, where marginal gains in rolling efficiency and rider freshness determine outcomes.

V-Guard puncture protection spans 14mm across the contact patch, using a polymer fiber developed for stab-resistant applications. The insert shields against glass, wire, and road debris without adding the weight or stiffness that would undermine the tire's supple character. Three carcass layers wrap the sidewalls for cut resistance on rough road edges. ADDIX Race compound varies durometer across the tread profile—harder rubber in the center handles wear and maintains low rolling resistance, while softer shoulder compounds provide grip when cornering or riding in wet conditions....
