Bontrager GR2 Team Issue

Yes, you can run these with tubes if you prefer, but they are specifically optimized for a tubeless setup. Using them tubeless allows you to run lower pressures, which significantly improves grip and puncture resistance on gravel.

The 40mm width is a sweet spot for gravel, offering enough volume to dampen vibrations on rough roads while remaining fast and efficient on paved sections. It provides a stable, predictable platform for most gravel riding conditions.

Not at all. The casing is designed to be supple and lightweight, balancing durability with a responsive feel. The protection is integrated into the sidewall structure, so you get the extra security against sharp rocks without feeling like you are riding a heavy, sluggish tire.

The GR2 is a versatile all-rounder designed for unpredictable gravel, dirt roads, and light trail use. Its consistent tread pattern is built to handle loose surfaces and corners with confidence, making it a great choice for long-distance adventure riding.

A 120 TPI (threads per inch) casing is higher than standard, which makes the tire more supple and flexible. This allows the tire to conform better to the ground, resulting in a smoother ride and better traction over uneven surfaces.
