SCHWALBE G-One RS Folding Tyre 700x40C Evolution Super Race V-Guard Addix Race E-25 TLE black/transparent

Road speed with cyclocross grip: After intensive development work and long test series, Schwalbe presents its fastest gravel tyre to date: the G-ONE RS. Back in 2015, when very few cyclists even knew the word gravel, Schwalbe launched its first gravel tyre, the G-ONE Allround. Seven years later, Gravel has become a full-fledged cycling segment, with specific new products, events and an ever-growing Gravel community.

Racing has always been a key driver for Schwalbe and the R&D team, with the ever-increasing number of Gravel races providing additional motivation. After Amity Rockwell won the Unbound Gravel in 2019 with the G-ONE Allround and came second in 2021 with the G-ONE R, the goal was to develop a tyre with even more speed. The centre section of the RS tyre has a specially developed flake structure that gives the rider more braking traction or steering grip depending on the direction of travel - and makes the tyre super fast.

To get the most out of it, the G-ONE RS has different running directions for use on the front and rear wheels. Compared to the G-ONE R, the RS has 20% less rolling resistance - for maximum speed, Schwalbe's developers have opted for a semi-slick version. The inspiration for the matching grip came from Schwalbe's own X ONE Speed cross tyre - this is how the slightly angled side blocks can be found on the tyre, which offer maximum grip or braking power depending on the rolling direction.
