We are now taking a left turn and are going Mavic All Road SL with Teravail 27.5 x 2.1 Sparwood 30ish psi. The same wheels so more of a like for like comparison.
Well what to say? You feel like the Fall Guy! They are again slower on the road than before, but that doesn’t matter as you are now on a magic carpet ride. You feel no bumps under you, but they don’t wallow too much. Hit the Gravel + ™️ and you are set. They have side knobs so bite really well in most conditions, except really muddy mud. Again you need to realise that the MS is really a Road + bike and not a real gravel bike, it pretty much has road geo so there are limits to what you can do comfortably, these tyres take you there and a way beyond it. If you want a soft carpet ride for those lumpy rides these are the kiddies. If you want PartyPace™️ coffee outside without braking the biscuits golden. Hit a few Gravel++ shoots sure thing.
