Following extensive lab testing, Cyclingnews has this week concluded that the future of road bike tyres could very well be far wider than those we're seeing in use today.
It's well known that over recent years, the industry's preferred tyre size has been growing. Where 23c was once deemed the standard, Tadej Pogačar raced 30c tyres at the 2024 Tour de France and the 2024 edition of Paris Roubaix featured 35c tyres, so wide that they'd be illegal in a cyclo-cross race.
