Extreme Tires that SHRED. Shwalbe G-One Ultrabite 50mm/2.0in Gravel Tires Ride and Review

- Big knobs. Tough casing. Formidable width. These Shwalbe G-One Ultrabite 50mm 700c tires pack a mean punch when you are riding deep on unmaintained and rough gravel roads. The aggressive tread pattern and build quality on these is top notch and a force to be reckoned with. In this video, I mount these bad-boys and take them for a few test rides while looking for any positive or negative qualities on different types of gravel, dirt and pavement roads. Spoiler alert. They are pretty rad. Please let me know if you have any questions about these in the comment below. - Cyclist Pete

I have the 40c (38c on the label) version. I ride 60% road and 40% trails including easy MTB trails with several tree roots. I ride next to railroad tracks, mud, and everything between. in the city, I ride through glass, metal trash, and whatever else is on the road. Yes, these tires are not the lightest or the fastest, but they will not die! I have them mounted to a Surly Straggler with carbon Easton wheels. Survival is the name of the game for these tires.
Do you think the Straggler will take the 700 x 45c versions? I think the front fork definitely will but the rear? Maybe I would have to pull my rear wheel right back? How much clearance do you have at the rear with the frame with your 40c tyres?
Nice review. I just got some of these tires and it was the easiest tubeless set-up I have ever done. 2 shots with the blaster pump and they pinged into place nicely. I guess it all depends on the tire/rim combo. You are right about these being heavy though!
I was one of the first fellas buying a "gravel" bike here in Spain, a '17 Focus Paralane. I had no room for flat bar neither I wanted to renounce riding fire roads. Despite geometry being pretty well thought, tire clearance was 35c... That's why I sold it. It seems manufacturers are going wider for '22. With Schwalbe, for good protection you know you have to go to the upper price ranges. Nice content.
Think I'm going to try an Ultrabite on the front and a Bite on the rear - should improve rolling resistance on the road but still give the grip up front where it's most important. Might sacrifice a bit of climbing ability on the loose climbs though.
what you say yet about this combination? i ordered both, ultrabite 45mm and bite 45mm
Do you think these are bettter suited for offroad and singletrack than the vittoria mezcals?
The schwalbe website says they are 28 and not 29ers? Are they smaller in diameter? Thanks!
Yeah, I noticed that also. But these are 700/29er size. My bike shop said sometimes they are called 28
Hello i have the same bike too! But he has stock complete. I wont to instal 29 wheels 2.0
I have 2 questions
1. What are the gaps on the 50 mm wheels in front and behind?
2. What kind of vilset do you have in 700c?
Beautiful.
How do they roll on tarmac despite the tread?
They aren’t great on the tarmac. But not terrible either. A bit slower and a little noisier compared to other tires with tread less aggressive in the center.
@@cyclistpete Grand.
Thank you!
What about the TPi (or EPI) 67 right?
Maybe for mixed use better the one Bite then 🧐
Are these good for up hill climbing?
hey, yeah they are good for climbing. the aggressive tread helps a lot to prevent tire slippage on loose and rough gravel, especially on steep sections. however, they would be a little better if they were a just a little bit lighter. extra weight can add up on long days of climbing, but these aren't too bad
@@cyclistpete I'm sold!
What about the G-One R to test out?
Maybe!
Try the Ramblers
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check them out!
How do you compare these tyres to MTB mezcal tyres ?
I have that question two...
The Ultrabites are a little less flexible, seem stronger and more puncture resistant, they are heavier, slightly more narrow on my wheels than the Mezcal 2.1s, slightly better speed/noise on pavement, slightly less traction on loose gravel/dirt.

i wish i could go bigger on my bike. the widest that I can fit is a 43
Ah bummer. They do make a 40mm version of these if you wanted to try out those ones.
@@cyclistpete I have a set of specializes sawtooth on now 700x42 they feel a lot more supple than the stock 38
ah those look nice. do you have them set up tubeless?
@@cyclistpete yeah, i do. im a heavier guys so i feel more comfortable with running tubeless lol
@@theNiiicest haha very nice. Yeah I feel a good difference riding tubeless too, definitely seems comfy and smoother
RH oracle ridge endurance 7hundo x 48 all problem’s solved.
yooo my man, you know whats good! I had found those also and have been riding not too long after trying these ones. they are perfect! thank you for looking out! I might be making another vid for those ones coming up...
I’m glad you’re stoked on them, I’ve really liked all the RH tires I’ve tried. I really dig your channel and look forward to some more vids. Hope you’re doing well and going on some awesome rides……like the wind!
