Every tyre has its own niche. There are super-durable touring tyres like the Green Marathon, grippy enduro tyres à la Assegai and super-fast semi-slicks like the new G-One RS. One tyre, however, can do it all. The G-One Allround was Schwalbe's first ever gravel tyre design with its fine knobbly tread and is still a good choice for use as an all-rounder.
But G-One Allround is not G-One Allround. The classic is now available in countless different versions and widths, with a cheaper Addix compound and with more expensive Addix Speedgrip rubber. As an example, we have ordered the G-One Allround in two common widths: The 45 is a classic gravel tyre with narrow and fine studs, while the wide 57 is now also popular on e-trekking bikes and lightweight e-SUVs.

Few weaknesses on the strong all-rounder
The question of wide or narrow will be dealt with in detail in another article. The fact is: the G-One Allround rolls excellently even in the cheaper Addix compound. The wide 57 Allround with slightly larger lugs is particularly favourable. It combines great propulsion and rolling resistance with good weight and offers a lot of comfort and riding safety even off the beaten track. The lighter 45 is a little more sporty, but offers less puncture protection and riding safety. The biggest disadvantage of the G-One Allround: the tread pattern with the fine lugs is quite susceptible to wear, depending on the rubber compound. As an all-rounder, there are of course specialists that perform even better in individual disciplines.
Conclusion on the G-One Allround from Schwalbe
The G-One is light, fast and affordable. Although the tyre was specially developed for gravel, the fine, even tread of the narrow variants is more at home on roads and light gravel. The puncture protection is only moderate. The wide G-One Allround does everything a little better than its narrower brother. Extremely high comfort combined with sensational rolling resistance. Thanks to the even tread pattern, it is very smooth to ride in a wide range of applications. The disadvantage is the mediocre puncture protection, even on tubeless tyres. - Adrian Kaether, Editor Test & Technology
