While gearing, bar extensions, nutrition and bike choice may give you a small edge in a gravel race, events are won or lost on tyre choice and setup.<\/p>

Mud tyres will help if it’s wet, but they\u2019ll slow you down on drier stretches and tarmac. Equally, a fine file tread is useless if a route includes squelchy bogs or technical climbing.<\/p>

A wider tyre at lower pressure may be comfortable, but it could also slow you down on smoother trails. Plus riders need to consider their bike’s tyre clearance. <\/p>
