  • Guys can you help me out with a tyre choice? Gonna use my Exploro as a DO IT ALL bike and I can't really decide on what tyres to get for them purely road rides. Should be either 28c or 30c. Is 30c too much for road rides, or should I stick to 28c ?

  • I did back-to-back tests with Schwalbe Pro One 28mm tyres and 30mm S-One (now G-One Speed) tyres. No statistically significant difference in speed (mph per Watts) but the S-Ones felt comfier. If you've got clearance, I'd go for 30mm.

  • Thanks for the info! There was actually a live Q&A with Gerard Vroomen (the designer of the Exploro) and I asked what is the best tyre size for road use with the Exploro. He basically said that, if I'm not riding on silky smooth roads - 32 is the best option. I find the 32 a bit too big for my taste... so I think a 30c tyre will be the best option.

    Can you guys recommend a specific tyre, offered in 30c ?
    I'm currently looking at the Vittoria Corsa Graphene 2.0.

    Also... is going tubeless worth it - have not tried it yet.
