Происхождение

Road tubeless was immature in 2015. Schwalbe bet on tubeless as 'the future of road bike tires' while competitors (Continental, Michelin) focused on clinchers. Correct bet — tubeless became standard by 2020.

+Достоинства

Class-leading puncture protection in 2025 Gran Fondo group test — best in a 13-tyre field
Rolling resistance of 12.4W at 30mm — just 0.4-0.6W behind class leaders (negligible in real world)
TLE setup: easy to mount and seal tubeless — floor pump often sufficient, no special tools needed
Souplesse carcass: supple ride quality, reduces fatigue on long rides
Hookless rim compatible — relevant for modern carbon wheelsets (Zipp 303, etc.)
Dual ADDIX Race compound: firm centre (low rolling resistance) + softer shoulders (grip in corners)
V-Guard protection: light yet strong Vectran fibre belt
Wide size range — 25 to 38mm covers road, endurance, and light gravel use
Air retention without latex tube — holds pressure well over days (tubeless with sealant)
Pro One TT at 205g: lightest tubeless road tyre for minimum-weight builds
Priced below most premium competitors (~€69.90 vs €75–90+ for Vittoria Corsa Pro, GP5000 STR)

−Недостатки

Heaviest tyre in 2025 Gran Fondo group test (338.7g for 30mm) — weight penalty vs Conti, Pirelli, Specialized
Cornering feel less sharp/confidence-inspiring than Vittoria Corsa, GP5000 or Specialized S-Works Turbo per La Velocita and BikeRadar
Compliance not best in class — cobblestones and square asphalt edges felt more than on Michelin or S-Works Turbo (Gran Fondo 2025)
Gen 1 (2015–2018) had reputation for cuts — V-Guard in Gen 2+ addressed this but perception lingers
Bead fitment can be extremely tight on some rims — occasionally requires air compressor or CO2
Sealant evaporates faster than stated in some conditions — requires top-up every 2–3 months

А вы знали

01Schwalbe was the first tyre company to make tubeless road tyres genuinely mainstream — Pro One established road tubeless as viable in 2015-2016 before Continental's GP5000 TL arrived in 2019
02The Gen 2 turn-up construction (2019) was described by Schwalbe as 'not a successor but an entirely new concept' — new carcass, new compound, new manufacturing process
03Sebastian Kienle won Ironman Hawaii 2018 in record time on a Pro One TT prototype — direct racing proof before public launch
04Pro One TLE's V-Guard protection uses the same Vectran fibre found in bulletproof and anti-stab vests — extremely light, extremely strong
05Pro One was the first road tyre in Schwalbe's history with different bead material between tubeless (TLE) and tube-type versions — same carcass, different bead processing
06Gran Fondo 2025 group test: Pro One TL had class-leading puncture protection AND only 0.4-0.6W slower than fastest tyres — 'best value' proposition
07Pro One Aero (2025) uses different front and rear constructions — front optimised for aerodynamics (235g, lighter), rear for lowest rolling resistance (270g)
08Schwalbe Pro One has been used for multiple UCI wins including Marco Brenner (Stage 1, Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali 2024) and Søren Wærenskjold (U23 World Championship TT)
