According to the tyre specialist from Korbach, the new rubber should retain the technical properties of the standard model. In the test conducted by our sister magazine BIKE, the basic version scored highly in terms of safety on difficult terrain. The tyre is a good choice for bikepacking tours in particular. However, due to the very high rolling resistance, the Terra Adventure cannot be ridden at a faster pace, or only with a great deal of effort, according to laboratory measurements and riding tests.
According to the manufacturer, the reflective strip on the tyre sidewall complies with the European standard ECE-R88 and is therefore also StVZO-compliant. Schwalbe recently introduced the G-One Overland, another off-road tyre with reflective stripes. The "light tyre" is now available in three widths: The 28-inch versions with 45 and 50 millimetres are interesting for adventure gravel bikes. The 29-inch, 55-millimetre model is designed for use on mountain bikes. According to Continental, the Terra Adventure Graphite-Reflex is tubeless-ready and compatible with hookless rims.
