Your Next Road Bike NEEDS More Tyre Clearance! | 35mm Continental GP5000 S TR Review

The bike industry is often criticized for pushing new standards on its customers, like big road tyres, or the shift to 50mm+ gravel tyres (I also don’t own a gravel bike that can take 50mm tyres).

It’s a difficult decision, as for me these 35mm tyres offer serious tangible benefits. Better ride quality, grip, and speed on more stubborn surfaces.

Do they merit a whole new bike?

Well I won’t be selling my favourite racy bikes just yet, but I know I’m in the enviable position of having multiple bikes and testing many more. So, my advice would be you shouldn’t feel compelled to upgrade your bike now, but when it comes to your next road bike purchase do not skimp on tyre clearances.
