Bontrager GR1 Team Issue
Best comfortable gravel tire for varied off road adventures.
This is a dedicated speed demon for hard-packed gravel where rolling efficiency is everything. The supple casing offers a remarkably smooth ride, though you sacrifice the aggressive bite needed for loose, chunky terrain. It is the perfect choice for riders who prioritize pure velocity over all-terrain versatility.
