Schwalbe G One R Pro first impressions

Promised to drop a feedback here. They day before I was doing a 100 km (mixed terrain) on the Legacy Schwalbe RS 40mm. The next day I was putting the R Pro 40mm on. Just for 27km mixed terrain. So that have me good comparison. Both rides where not heavy pushing, but by use of a power meter staying in Z2 mainly – this means not going after max speed but for the advantage of beeing very focused and aware of situation. So this was mainly below 30km/h especially in forest or uphill. Peaking on asphalt and downhill around 45km/h

Both rides where mostly dry terrain due to hot weather conditions.

I where riding on asphalt, Forrest, gravel, pack, single trail, pavement, everything. Forest including lots of hills.

Turned out I had one of the best rides ever on the R Pro. To be honest never felt slower compared to RS on street or asphalt ground. But I clearly felt faster everything off-road. Putting out 27 km/h on even „Schotter“ gravel with just 150 watts – i think is totall fine. Compared to RS I also felt just more confident to go harder into trail turns in the woods aswell / this can be just psychological but if something works – it works. Not only I had more confidence I had great fun.

I know this is not a racing review and my pace has been slow. But I can definitely say that going on and off-road this tire delivers and I did not miss any of the RS on road.
