Schwalbe, "the bike tire specialist" company based out of Germany recently announced its much anticipated G-One R. Their new tires are expected to make their grand appearance this coming June, 2021 in Kansas. What makes Kansas the red carpet occasion for these new superstars? The famous Unbound Gravel Festival.
The Unbound Gravel Festival is an annual biking race that brings the fiercest cyclists from around the globe. This race is not for the faint of heart. During the span of four days, six variations of races will be held. Bicyclists will travel between 25 to 350 miles. (40 to 563 kilometers) So, of course an exceptional tire is needed for a journey like this.
What qualifies the G-One R for this occasion? Not only are they made with ultra modern Tubeless Easy technology, they also have the same material often used for bulletproof vests. These tires allow their riders to strive for the best performance while ensuring safe braking and overall riding. The G-One R is the 5th model of the gravel family bike line. It combines the same unique characteristics that the Pro One road tire brought to competitive bicyclists and lovers of the outdoors. Additionally, these tires are made to last even on the roughest terrain.
So, will the G-One R be the new "it" tires? Though their public premiere debuted June 5th, the G-One R will be available for purchase at the end of June. Priced at EUR 69.90.
