Schwalbe claims a 20 per cent drag reduction at 45kph in a 28mm width <\/p>

Schwalbe has unveiled the Pro One Aero, which it calls its most aerodynamic road bike tyre.<\/p>\n

The brand claims the 28c Pro One Aero produces 20 per cent less drag at 45kph than the previous aero benchmark, the 25c Schwalbe Pro One TT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Schwalbe says its RaceGuard technology brings high puncture resistance to the tubeless-ready tyre that\u2019s compatible with hookless rims<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Schwalbe Pro One Aero will be available to buy for \u00a379.99\/\u20ac79.90 from October exclusively in black sidewalls and a 28mm width.<\/p>\n

The front tyre is light and the rear is heavier and more puncture resistant, according to Schwalbe.<\/span><\/figcaption> Ashley Quinlan \/ Our Media <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Schwalbe says it designed the shape of the Pro One Aero to be as aerodynamic as possible on the wide rims of the best road bike wheels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The collaboration between Scott, Syncros and Swiss engineering company Radiate saw the Pro One Aero tested in the wind tunnel and on the road, according to Schwalbe.<\/p>\n

Schwalbe hasn\u2019t said how many watts or how much time the Pro One Aero will save you, except that a 28c Pro One Aero produces 20 per cent less drag at 45kph than a 25c Pro One TT.<\/p>\n

The German brand also doesn\u2019t offer any rolling resistance claims, so we can only presume the Pro One Aero is faster overall than the existing model.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve weighed the Schwalbe Pro One Aero front tyre at 243g, which is the optimal weight for aerodynamics, according to the brand.<\/p>\n

On our scales, the rear Pro One Aero weighs 268g. Schwalbe says the additional weight increases puncture protection but not rolling resistance.<\/p>\n

Although light for a tubeless road bike tyre<\/a>, the Schwalbe Pro One Aero is considerably heavier than the prototype Pro One Aerothan<\/a> at a claimed 165g.<\/p>\n

Who will ride the Schwalbe Pro One Aero?<\/h2>\n

Without specifying, the German brand claims numerous professional cycling teams and triathletes have been riding the Pro One Aero.<\/p>\n

It claims the tyre will be used widely at the Ironman World Championships in Nice and Kona, where low rolling resistance and drag are prized attributes in a tyre.<\/p>\n

Given they ride time trial bikes<\/a>, you might expect triathletes to use the Schwalbe Pro One TT.<\/p>\n

If the Pro One Aero is as aerodynamic and puncture resistant as Schwalbe claims, where does that leave the brand\u2019s dedicated time trial tyre, the Pro One TT?<\/p>\n

On paper, the Schwalbe Pro One Aero sounds like a direct competitor to the Continental GP5000 TT TR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Continental says the WorldTour teams<\/a> it sponsors have used the GP5000 TT TR on fast, smooth-surfaced road stages and not just in time trials<\/a> \u2013 we spotted it fitted to Tadej Poga\u010dar\u2019s Colnago V4Rs at the Tour de France<\/a> Grand D\u00e9part, among others.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible we\u2019ll see Schwalbe-sponsored teams opting for the new Pro One Aero tyre for more than just time trials.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
