Schwalbe’s G-One RS Pro has long been celebrated as a premier gravel tire, renowned for its speed and versatility across diverse terrains. In 2026, Schwalbe expanded its lineup to include the G-One RS Pro in a substantial 29 x 2.35-inch (60mm) width, catering to riders seeking enhanced stability and traction on challenging surfaces.
Design and Construction
The G-One RS Pro features a semi-slick center tread, optimized for low rolling resistance on hardpack and paved surfaces. Flanking this are pronounced side knobs, designed to provide reliable grip during cornering and on loose gravel. This tread pattern strikes a balance between speed and control, making it suitable for a wide range of gravel riding conditions.
Constructed with Schwalbe’s RaceGuard technology, the tire offers robust puncture protection without compromising performance. The V-Guard insert further enhances durability, ensuring the tire withstands the rigors of gravel riding. The ADDIX Race compound contributes to its lightweight design, with the 29 x 2.35-inch version weighing approximately 690 grams. (schwalbe.com)
