Gravel riders and racers who want a fast, light 45 mm tyre that still grips when the surface gets loose.
The Schwalbe G-One RS Pro is built for going fast on gravel. A tight, low centre tread keeps it quick on hardpack and tarmac, while taller shoulder knobs give you something to lean on through loose corners.
It uses Schwalbe's ADDIX Race compound on a supple Race Pro casing, with a light V-Guard layer under the tread for cut and puncture protection. In 700 x 45C it weighs about 530 g, which is light for a tyre this size.
It is tubeless ready and approved for hookless rims, with a maximum of 4 bar (55 psi). Run it tubeless with sealant to get the most out of the casing and to seal small punctures on the go.

ADDIX Race
Schwalbe's fastest compound, used here for low rolling resistance with grip on the shoulders.
V-Guard
A light, cut resistant layer under the tread for puncture protection without much weight.
TLR
Tubeless ready, and approved for hookless rims, so you can run lower pressures with sealant.
Fair Rubber
Made with fair trade rubber, with a premium paid to the small farmers who produce it.
Great for
Maybe not for
Fits 700C (622) rims. Check your frame and fork have clearance for a 45 mm tyre, with a few millimetres spare for mud. Hookless compatible; stay at or below 4 bar (55 psi).
Setting it up tubeless
Use tubeless rim tape, a valve and around 40 to 60 ml of sealant. Seat the bead with a burst of air, then spin and shake the wheel so sealant coats the whole casing. Top up the sealant every few months.
Pressure starting point
For a 45 mm gravel tyre most riders land somewhere around 1.8 to 2.5 bar (26 to 36 psi) depending on weight and terrain. Never go above the 4 bar maximum on hookless rims.
