But in the last year, the preferred tire size for the gravel race is sharply charged. Pros, especially, now, a wide mountain bike crossing between 50 and 57 mm selects racing tires.
In short, it was tested with extensive XC racing tires with light bowls to roll faster than the faster gravel tires. The gravel gets tougher, faster, but in a smooth gravel, there is no loss in speed compared to the narrow gravel tire. This is easy to combine a wider tire with an improved puncture resistance and why the pebble is trying to squeeze the biggest tires possible in the race.
Now, if you are a gravel pro, the additional security margin has grown to fill a larger tire for the sake of performance. Paint and frame integrity dammed.
Pro Racer Torbjørn Andre Røed’s Trek Checkmate I got up close and personal foot Sea ottter classic – Race the Grand Prix to start the life of 2025. The 2.1-inch Schwalbe Thunder Burt (54mm) front (54mm) was clear that 45 mm was ignored in front of the front (54 mm).
Torbjørn was 11th in the sea otter, so this tire factor works clear for him. But follow the following photos before you rush to adjust the possible wide tires to your gravel bike:

Such paint and framework injury is acceptable only for professional drivers who do not pay for bikes. If you have received your own bike, mostly, no downside of our rest – this frame is not worth damaging and will not be able to evacuate the guarantee to gain a performance advantage. Not to mention extra risk (how small) to fail the frame during a walk.
Pro Racers make motivated decisions for performance, and sometimes these decisions are contrary to the manufacturer’s recommendations. If you do not receive your bikes for free, the people who make the bike, not those who do not compete, not listening is best! And worth remembering, because a tire can be rotated in a tire frame or for the fork, if the maximum maximum time will not be enough space to allow these tires to be freely smooth Especially when leaving the road.
