A tyre created to roll fast without compromising on grip or puncture protection - how original!

Cycling Weekly Verdict

A surprisingly reliable tyre which rolls well even on pockmarked UK roads - perhaps more so than overseas. The tubeless easy system does what it says on the tin. A quality option, but not likely to become our tech team's all time go-to.

Reasons to buy
  • +

    Puncture resistance

    Easy set up (clincher and tubeless)

  • +

    Smooth on rutted roads

Reasons to avoid
  • -

    A little sticky on smooth roads

  • -

    Weight discrepancy

Schwalbe's Pro One tyre has always been a firm favourite, and last year the brand made some key updates aimed at lowering the rolling resistance, optimising grip in the corners and improving ease of tubeless set up.

The model we have on test is the Pro One TT (time trial) Tubeless Easy tyre, which has been tailored for time trial riders looking for the ultimate in performance. Whilst the standard Schwalbe Pro One Tubeless has a claimed 13 per cent drag saving over the outgoing model, the TT version boosts this to another 21 per cent, at a lower weight.
