Rene Herse view on shoulder knobs for gravel tires

Agreed, there needs to be some change in tire profile and or tread pattern along as leaned to take advantage.

  • Tires like the Schwalbe G-One don’t matter, since it’s consistent pins.
  • But something like the Panaracer GravelKing SK, Maxxis Rambler and the like benefit from more open and angled knobs as the tire kicks over.
