When I turned 50 everyone told me that 50 is the new 40. The same holds true for gravel bikes. The new
Santa Cruz Stigmata
was designed to clear 50mm tires. So was the
Enve Mog. And so was
my new DeSalvo gravel bike.
In my case I went from 38s on
my old Rock Lobster
to 48s on the DeSalvo. The tires have the same awesome
Rene Herse tread pattern–just a lot more traction and comfort. I’m finding myself way faster and confident on the sketchier gravel sections. From now on, I won’t accept less!
What tires are you running on your gravel bike?
