FAQ

Is 700x45 compatible with most gravel bikes?

Many modern gravel bikes accept 700x45, but clearance varies significantly by frame and fork design. Always check your manufacturer's maximum tire clearance spec. Bikes with 40-42mm clearance may not accommodate the X1 Plus at 700x45, especially with fenders installed.

Why choose the 700x45 over the 700x40 X1 Plus?

The 700x45 offers more volume for better compliance on rough terrain, lower optimal tubeless pressures, and added cushioning on long bikepacking days. If your bike has the clearance, the larger size is worth it for comfort and traction on sustained technical gravel.

Does the X1 Plus tread clear mud effectively?

Yes, the open X-pattern tread is specifically designed to shed mud and maintain traction in soft conditions. It performs noticeably better than semi-slick designs when trails are wet and loose, though very deep mud will challenge any gravel tire regardless of tread design.

Best For

Adventure cyclists and bikepacking riders with high-clearance gravel bikes who ride sustained technical terrain and want maximum volume, aggressive traction, and flat protection in a single tire setup.
