Despite being designed for gravel racing, Pirelli’s Cinturato Gravel RC is a seriously impressive tyre in all but the sloppiest of conditions.<\/p>
It’s constructed from the brand’s proprietary SpeedGRIP compound used on its other tyres, with a tread pattern that alternates between two short arrow-shaped knobs at its centre, one larger than the other. Two sets of parallelogram knobs then run along on either side for cornering grip.<\/p>
The tyres dispatch all surfaces with ease and grip is excellent with no noticeable skittishness. The tyre’s tread pattern sheds dirt easily and although it’s by no means a mud tyre, it becomes overwhelmed less easily than its competitors. They’ve also proven plenty durable, too.<\/p>

The Teravail Rutland Light & Supple is available with tan or black sidewalls. – Katherine Moore \/ Our Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>
Price:<\/strong> \u00a355 \/ $55 \/ \u20ac58 as tested<\/li>
Sizes available:<\/strong> 700\u00d738mm, 42mm (tested), 47mm; 650b\u00d747mm; 29\u00d72.2in<\/li>
Weight:<\/strong> 445g (700\u00d742mm claimed weight)<\/li>
Highs\/lows:<\/strong> Great puncture protection; cuts through mud well; single width only<\/li>
Best for:<\/strong> Four-season, and wet and muddy riding<\/li><\/ul>
The Teravail Rutland is for foul weather and rough terrain, and it\u2019s one of the best gravel bike tyres for winter riding.<\/p>
The tread has an asymmetric pattern with ramped knobs towards the centre, which effectively sheds mud and delivers plenty of grip.<\/p>
The fairly low profile of the lugs means you don\u2019t get the significantly draggy feeling you can get from more overtly winter tyres, and consequently the Rutland could double as an \u2018all-road\u2019 tyre.<\/p>
While this \u2018Light and supple\u2019 Rutland has a lighter carcass than some winter gravel tyres, we didn\u2019t have any punctures in testing. There is a \u2018Durable\u2019 model which weights 100g more.<\/p>
There are faster-rolling tyres for drier conditions, but if you want a true fit-and-forget gravel tyre then the Rutland is hard to beat.<\/p>

The GR1 Team Issue is a good all-rounder with a tightly packed low-profile block tread that shines in loose, dry conditions on varied surfaces.<\/p>

Price:<\/strong> \u00a359.95 \/ $64.95 \/ \u20ac62.49 \/ AU$92.99 as tested<\/li>
Sizes available:<\/strong> 700\u00d735mm, 40mm; 650b\u00d735mm, 40mm<\/li>
Weight:<\/strong> 450g (650b\u00d740mm claimed weight)<\/li>
Highs\/lows:<\/strong> Fast and excellent for dry-ish rides; not suited to mud and no wide options<\/li>
Best for:<\/strong> Dry, mixed-terrain riding that isn\u2019t too rocky<\/li><\/ul>
The Terra Speed sits alongside the Terra Trail<\/a> in Continental\u2019s gravel bike tyre line-up. We found it to be a reliable, fast-rolling, excellent tyre for dry conditions, thanks to its low lugs, low weight and the German company\u2019s BlackChilli compound.<\/p>
The shallow lugs unlock speed on tarmac roads, but the trade-off is less grip than some other gravel bike tyres. The Terra Speeds do hold up on damp trails, but they wouldn\u2019t be our first choice for cutting through deep mud.<\/p>
When it comes to wear and tear, the Terra Speeds have held up well, and we\u2019ve logged over 3,500km on these tyres. However, we would suggest opting for more robust tyres if you are regularly riding over rocks and roots.<\/p>
The Terra Speed is tubeless-ready and we found it fitted to rims easily.<\/p>

The Maxxis Rambler is lighter than many competitors. – Russell Eich \/ Immediate Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>
Price<\/strong>: \u00a346.99 \/ $49.99 \/ AU$79.99 as tested<\/li>
Sizes available<\/strong>: 700\u00d738mm, 40mm (tested)<\/li>
Weight<\/strong>: 375g<\/li>
Highs\/lows<\/strong>: Lightweight; supple casing; best suited to smoother dirt and gravel, not mud<\/li>
Best for<\/strong>: Smooth, dry hardpack and gravel<\/li><\/ul>
The Rambler was Maxxis\u2019 first foray into gravel bike tyres and the company\u2019s depth of tyre knowledge is readily apparent. This gravel tread is quick and considerably lighter than many of its competitors.<\/p>
The Rambler\u2019s low-profile blocks are packed tightly down the centre to keep them rolling swiftly, with slightly larger intermediate and shoulder knobs for cornering.<\/p>
The 120 TPI EXO casing is very supple and rolls over uneven roads with ease. While the stated width is 40mm, the actual measurement on our test rims was less than the published width, which makes this a good option for riders who use a cyclocross bike<\/a> or gravel bike with limited clearance.<\/p>
The Rambler is best suited to smoother dirt and gravel roads. The low-profile knobs perform well on hardpack and sand over hardpacked roads.<\/p>

Size:<\/strong> 700\u00d740mm<\/li>
Weight:<\/strong> 546g (700\u00d740mm claimed weight)<\/li>
Highs\/lows:<\/strong> Great puncture protection; cuts through mud well; single width only<\/li>
Best for:<\/strong> Winter riding<\/li><\/ul>
Sitting alongside the intermediate Maxxis Rambler and slicker Receptor, the Ravager is Maxxis\u2019 aggressive gravel tyre, well-suited to winter riding.<\/p>
The tyre has deep-profile shoulder knobs and a tightly packed tread pattern in the middle, which cuts through and clears mud well. Siping on the tread means the tyre clears moisture well, too.<\/p>
Despite the no-compromise off-road grip, the Ravager still feels swift on tarmac without the squirminess you can sometimes experience with more supple tyres.<\/p>
The Ravager provides an easy tubeless setup and we found it didn\u2019t lose pressure in testing or show any signs of premature wear.<\/p>
The only real downside to the Ravager is it is currently only available in one size, 700\u00d740mm, which is an about average width for tyres these days.<\/p>

Sizes available<\/strong>: 700\u00d735, 40, 45mm; 650b x 45, 50mm<\/li>
Weight<\/strong>: 500g (40mm as tested)<\/li>
Highs\/lows<\/strong>: Super-grippy compound; impressive puncture resistance; sturdy; confidence-inspiring ride at lower pressures; can be tricky to seat during setup<\/li>
Best for<\/strong>: Year-round reliability across all surfaces<\/li><\/ul>
One of the best all-round gravel bike tyres, the Pirelli Cinturato M offers plentiful grip and great puncture protection.<\/p>
The aggressive tread features widely spaced, angular knobs with a smoother central line, balancing rolling resistance on smoother surfaces with grip and mud-shedding when the trails become more challenging.<\/p>
A sturdy, reinforced sidewall helps the tyre maintain rigidity at lower pressures to avoid any squirmy sensations or rim damage, while giving excellent puncture resistance.<\/p>
With no fewer than five widths across 700c and 650b wheel sizes, there\u2019s a size for everyone, as well as black or tan sidewall options.<\/p>

Sizes available<\/strong>: 700\u00d735, 40mm <\/li>
Weight<\/strong>: 571g (black 40mm as tested)<\/li>
Highs\/lows<\/strong>: Grippy on almost all surfaces; excellent blend of speed and puncture protection; consistently easy installation; a shame it’s not available in wider widths <\/li>
Best for<\/strong>: Spring, summer and autumn<\/li><\/ul>
The souped-up sibling to the excellent Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC, the RC-X is designed for the demands of gravel racing and bikepacking. <\/p>
It’s constructed from the brand’s proprietary SpeedGRIP compound used on its other tyres, with a 60 TPI (threads per inch) nylon casing that has a longer overlap on the sidewall so it’s more resistant to cuts. <\/p>
These tyres impressed in almost all situations they were put through in testing. While there may be a slight speed penalty over the Cinturato Gravel RC, the RC-Xs still feel supple and they hold up in very challenging terrain. <\/p>
Only the thickest of mud will overwhelm them. <\/p>

Sizes available<\/strong>: 700x40mm, 45mm, 50mm<\/li>
Weight<\/strong>: 526g (40mm tested)<\/li>
Highs\/lows<\/strong>: Durable and hard-wearing; decent wet-weather grip; on the heavy side<\/li>
Best for<\/strong>: All-round gravel riding<\/li><\/ul>
The Schwalbe G-One Overland is more versatile than the brand\u2019s racier gravel bike tyres, such as the G-One R and the G-One RS.<\/p>
Available in three widths, the Schwalbe G-One Overland is a tough tyre that didn\u2019t puncture in months of rigorous testing.<\/p>
The tubeless-compatible G-One Overland could be easier to mount, but it retained pressure once inflated.<\/p>
As for the tread, relatively tall and dispersed shoulder knobs help the G-One Overland grip well on dry and wet off-road surfaces.<\/p>
For a gravel bike tyre, the G-One Overland rolls fine on tarmac, but it’s heavier than Schwalbe claims.<\/p>

Weight<\/strong>: 482g (40mm as tested)<\/li>
Highs\/lows<\/strong>: Easy to fit; straight-line speed and cornering confidence; great puncture resistance; significantly pricier than other gravel bike tyres<\/li>
Best for<\/strong>: Fast-paced riding over smoother gravel<\/li><\/ul>
Schwalbe\u2019s latest release is a gravel-racing<\/a> tyre optimised for tarmac and light-gravel terrain.<\/p>
The G-One R<\/a> features a dense, fine tread pattern with closely spaced knobs and no defined shoulder.<\/p>
The tyre gives a smooth, fast and comfortable ride, while the Super Race carcass provides great puncture protection. The carcass \u2013 unique in Schwalbe\u2019s gravel bike tyre range \u2013 is also said to reduce rolling resistance.<\/p>
This is a great all-rounder. The only downside comes with the price, which is significantly higher than most gravel bike tyre options.<\/p>

Sizes available: <\/strong>700x35mm, 40mm, 45mm<\/li>
Weight: <\/strong>505g (45mm)<\/li>
Pros\/Cons: <\/strong>Low rolling resistance; ill-suited to technical riding<\/li>
Best for: <\/strong>All-round performance<\/li><\/ul>
The Schwalbe G-One RS Gravel Tyre grips well for a race-orientated gravel tyre on firm and compact surfaces. Its semi-slick tread pattern means traction slides, however, on looser stones and certainly on mud.<\/p>
The tyre stands up well to harsh treatment despite its lightweight casing.<\/p>
The tubeless-ready 700c tyre comes in three widths: 35mm, 40mm and 45mm. These options boost the versatility of a tyre already capable on a mixture of terrain and surfaces.<\/p>
