The G-One is the most versatile tire I've ever used. It rolls fast on pavement. It rolls fast on dirt and gravel. It's tubeless and installed easily. I've used these for everything from commuting (25 miles one way, mixed pavement and gravel) to gravel grinding to summertime cyclocross training. They're awesome.
Review by Yooperman
My brand new gravel bike came mounted with these. Im running them tubeless. Initial impression is excellent. Low rolling resistance, good traction, smooth ride and bump compliance on gravel and rough pavement. However, after a few rides one of my tires developed a bulge in the sidewall! Ive read of this same issue in another review as well. This is unacceptable and Ill assume its a manufacturing or quality control issue...

I live in the hills. 28 are fine but 35 tubeless running at 50 to 60 psi is heaven with theses. So much grip and forgiveness. And they are fast! Not a lot of difference with 28 at max psi.
Review by Brad P
Very smooth rolling tire with just the right tread for mixed terrain. Best on hard pack gravel, there are better option out there for rough gravel only riding. My only disappointment was in terms of durability and tubeless setup. Tighter and trickier to setup tubeless than other tires I have used. On my second ride I punctured in some rough gravel bad enough that it would not seal. Nice tire for racing or training rides in clean conditions... Beware for commuting, touring, any situation where your not willing to accept performance with increased hassle flat risk.

The 35mm G-One is a reliable tubeless tire, which I've found to be fast rolling, on both tarmac and pavement. Zero casing cuts from gravel.
Subjectively, the G-One seems faster rolling than a Challange Gravel Grinder (also a great tire), with comparable cornering traction. The G-Ones set up easily on a set of Stan's Grail rims. Two items to note first, I found that the G-One rides best with surprisingly low air pressure, so take a gauge with you on the first few rides and experiment. Also, if you mount these on a Stan's rim, the bead with stretch a bit, and they will then be almost impossible to mount on some other rims, that have a less-tight fit.
Overall, a great tubeless tire for mixed-surface riding. My tires varied a bit in weight 391 and 432 grams. Typical of Schwalble, in my experience.

These are great tires. They set up tubeless beautifully with Ultegra 6800 rims which makes for a great combo that makes the ride quality of my older aluminum cross bike frame very comfortable. Fast rolling and nice traction (at least in dry, haven't tried them in wet yet). Highly recommended.

I use the 29 x 2.25 version on gravel, pavements, and some single track. I really like the feel of the tires. They are very supple and feel fast on gravel and roads. Their grip on gravel is just as good as Maxxis Ikons or Vittoria Mezcal, but they roll better and absorb small bumps better. They also grip surprisingly well on singletrack and mud. No flats or other issues in the 500 miles so far.

My experience with the Schwalbe G-One Allround 700c Tubeless Gravel Tire (29 x 2.25) was not good. They are expensive and unreliable (in my experience). Within the first month of use I went through three tires due to punctures. Two of the punctures were so bad they could not be plugged and the tires had to be replaced. Punctures to the third tire were repairable, but I won't run a tire with more than two plugs.
I bagged these tires, went to Maxxis Tread Lite (29 x 2.1) and the Tread Lite's have been awesome! I've only suffered one minor puncture (easily repaired) in over 3,000 miles.
Review by JQuinn
I like the feel of these tires - on my second set of 700 x 40s. Most of my riding is on roads, with a little gravel and some single track and these are very comfortable on all these surfaces. They were easy to install with just a regular floor pump and I haven't had any punctures that I was aware of. My only issue is the quick wear, particularly the rear tire. I have put about 1,000 miles on the rear and the center ridge of nubs is noticeably worn down, I will probably need to replace within another 500 miles. Maybe it's not fair to compare to the wear life of a road tire (like a GP 5000), but I would expect at least 2K miles out of them?

Got the 29 x 2.25mm - TL Easy/SnakeSkin version for my Surly Ogre. Running them tubeless with no issues. From commuter rides on pavement to gravel to mixed tread single track, these tires have been terrific. There's a very real trade off with these tires; the tightly spaced, low knobs result in low rolling resistance on pavement, but when the tread gets loose, you just can't expect these tires to maintain traction the way a knobbier tire would. If that's a trade off that works for your riding, these tires are a terrific option.
Definitely spendy, but they are a very high quality tire.
Review by Cruising
I use these tires for riding 50% asphalt and 50% limestonegravel paths. I use the 700x35 on my 2019 Domane SL and am very happy with the fit. They go on easy. So far no flats, even on the roughest gravel. This is my second pair. My main complaint is these show wear one the rear tire at 750 miles and will be smooth at 950 or 1000. I will change them out at 850 at the latest.
I ride 100 miles a week (easily) during the summer and fall and that means I can go through these pretty quickly. Other than that, I am happy with them.

I have two sets of these (38cc), one on my Niner RLT and the other set on my LITESPEED T5G. My first try of tubeless tires and it's been good with not flats on either bike. Both sets are approaching 1K miles and the rear tire is pretty well worn down in the center on both. I'm a Clydesdale 6-1 and 230's and I run them at 60psi. Traction is very good even when the roads are wet. I'm going to replace both rears soon, the fronts look like they'll go a while longer. I have added sealant to both sets after the seemed to lose pressure more often. They are easy to mount and very easy to live with. A bit pricey but all around I think there is good value in them.

I have the Schwalbe G-One Allround 700c Tubeless Gravel Tire in 38c mounted tubeless front and rear on my gravel bike. So far I've been happy with these tires for general use. The low profile knobbies provide a smooth ride yet pretty good grip (except in mud). I don't race gravel or ride really rough terrain so I can't comment on how these tires would hold up under high stress conditions.
Review by dagar
I have used this tire for many epic races and it has performed flawlessly!
700 miles before they need replacing.
75% gravel 25% road with some sandmudgrass.
I have not had a flat or burp (3rd pair so far) I usually run lower pressure than most riders.
Fresh Stans every few months and I'm good to go (DT Swiss loops).
Latest set up is 38 front 35 rear.
I also use the X-Ones (33) for CX racing.
Review by bencolem
Great on road for a gravel tire, I can average only 0.2mph average off my best on a 30mph loop with this tire, but wants for nothing off road (albeit I'm in the dry south).
Review by Brij
I bought this as my first high volume (34mm) tire for my cx bike for summer mixed riding in Nor Cal. I've done a 70 mile road ride w45 psi and trail rides with about 25 psi on super dusty rough stuff. Love the extra volume and don't mind the file tread. Afraid this tire will spoil me when cx season starts and I go back to 33s. It's mounted on a HED Belgium rim, tubeless.
Review by Moby
I have 300 miles on these, 70% dirtgravel.
After pinch flatting twice in 5 minutes in my last event I decided to switch over completely to tubeless. This is my first tubeless tire, which is replacing Clement LAS (which I generally really like, other than the flats). These are gripper than the LAS on wet dirt with light loose gravel. They will not spin on climbs where I would occasionally spin the LAS. Maybe not quite as fast on pavement. Maybe. They are stiffer than the LAS and feel like they turn in quicker, probably due to a slightly more pointed profile. Like the LAS they struggle in deeper gravel, more than the Clement MXP, the tire I've been running the lags few years when I needed something more aggressive.
They set up easily with a compressor and a little soap on Stan's Grail rims. No leaks or burping so far. In the future they'll get swapped to Enve M50s for races.
Review by Jer
Yeah, they're a little pricey for a tire but it's definitely worth it. On the suggestion of a fellow rider I bought a set of these tires as an all-around tire. I've used them on asphalt, gravel, dirt, grass and mud and they far exceeded my expectations. In some soupy mud I thought for sure I would be spinning wheel but I had some fairly good grip, and that was with a good bit of air in the tires. I imagine they'd perform even better with low pressure. In the dirt they stuck really well and gave me confidence in the corners. Both gravel and asphalt showed them to be the all-rounder tires I previously mentioned. Once these wear out I won't hesitate to replace them with new ones.

Over priced , good tire but not a great tire !

Put these on my gravel bike because I thought that I would do mostly road. Ended up doing more gravel and needed more grip so I moved my gravel bike to the G-One bite. Put these on a road bike that previously had hard wearing messenger tires on it. These tires, run tubeless proved far more comfort on this road bike and no change in performance.
