Good Choice. Or Schwalbe Pro One 32 or 35mm, Challenge Strada Bianca, Gravelking Slick. All tubeless of course.
That's what I am considering for my sl7 for potential winter setup, together with protective foil on all exposed areas of frameset.

Has anyone ridden the new Hutchinson Tundra yet?
Currently on Pirelli gravel M - which are great for most of my riding (northern UK trails), but interested in trying something else as the nearly solid centreline of the Pirelli's isn't particularly confidence-inspiring in mud... and unfortunately for me that's a feature even in the summer

The Schwalbe G-One RS has been revealed for Unbound, only available in 700c and 3 widths.
They claim it's the fastest ever. And it will be available for €73 in August.
Schwalbe's Track record with "super fast tires", at least based on BRR, is rather bad.
Their road tires aren't so fast either, so I hope this is a leap forward.

what would you recommend on 53% pave and 47% gravel and single track, some lose gravel on very fast descent with sharp cornering .

didn't used to be the case. the first gen one-series (esp. big one, s-one) were among the fastest. seems like since they switched to their addix compound from onestar/pacestar they've not tested as well. i wish they would at least release their own testing data/methods.FlatlandClimber wrote: ↑Fri Jun 03, 2022 3:56 pmThe Schwalbe G-One RS has been revealed for Unbound, only available in 700c and 3 widths.

.. and the winner Ivar was riding on the G-One RS. Must be reasonably fast rolling.FlatlandClimber wrote: ↑Fri Jun 03, 2022 3:56 pmThe Schwalbe G-One RS has been revealed for Unbound...

Reasonably fast yes, but not "faster than..."
The margins in rolling resistance arr just not large enough to draw more conclusions.

i have bought a set of Challenge Getaway HTRL 40mm
but they are really uneven and wobbly. both sideways and with flat spots.
i have done a few rides to see if it would set, but dont seem to work.
i have tried leaving them at max preassure for few days to see if the would stretch.
any tips for this or am i just unlucky with these tires? seems like great tires else.
