Tires for gravel and cyclo-cross bikes
When choosing the right tires, the inner diameter of the tire and its width are important. The inner diameter of gravel and cyclo-cross tires is most often 700 mm (28 inches). You can pick from tires and tubes, which are available in different widths and with different tread patterns. With wider ones, you may be limited by the width of the rim or the space in the bike frame, so check the recommendations of your component manufacturers. For some products, you will find the TPI (threads per inch) number. The higher the number, the lighter the tire and the lower rolling resistance, but it is also less durable. Tires may be suitable for tubeless use, this information is listed with the product. To install the tube, you will need a special glue or double-sided adhesive tape designed for this use.
What is the difference between a gravel tire and a cyclo-cross tire?
- Cyclo-cross (CX) tires are typically narrower (33 mm max) due to racing rules, designed for short, intense rides in mud and grass.
- Gravel tires are wider (35–50 mm), designed for long rides, gravel, forest roads and asphalt. They offer more comfort and stability.
What tire width should I choose for gravel?
- 35–40 mm: faster riding, mixed terrain (asphalt, gravel)
- 40–45 mm: a universal compromise for comfort and grip
- 45–50 mm: more technical terrain, more comfort, more traction
Can I use tubeless tires for cyclo-cross and gravel?
Yes, most modern gravel and CX tires support tubeless ready technology. Benefits:
- Lower tire pressure (better traction and comfort)
- Less risk of punctures
- Lower weight
Is it worth investing in more expensive coats?
In most cases, yes – higher quality tires offer:
- Lower weight
- Better grip and rolling
- Higher resistance to punctures
- Better driving characteristics and durability
