Is anyone using these tyres that can express an opinion on them.  Struggling to find user reviews here and elsewhere.

we have sold a few but Gravel Scene in SA is still relatively NEW and GROWING.

 

some pics below of them mounted on a wheel --- they are great for gravel and can do some light offroading due to the micro dot side tread. super fast on the ROAD

I have them on my gravel bike and so far can't fault them. They are SUPER tight in my frame (at the rear) though, so make sure that you've got clearance. Coming from 32mm Conti's these are a lot more plush and roll well on tar/hardpack.

Nice tyre profile and tread pattern. Probably close the best setup for multi use on and off road as an all rounder. 
Definately more on the chunky side in the weight game though! But at the price, hey.

Pretty sure he were looking for some UNBIASED opinions

 

That said I am eyeing a set for an upcoming build...

at R 499 and Tubeless Ready with yummy CARAMEL sidewalls you have nothing to lose ... and FREE DELIVERY OFFER ( for SA orders over R 500 ) means you will not pay delivery fee

I have done 560km on them - about 80/20 gravel tar. At first I was disappointed because it's on my weight weenie gravel bike and they are not light by any means. But, they roll like they are and they can take a bit of a beating. A few sketchy sections on a recent ride didn't result in any punctures. Mine are on MTB rims which probably helps. I mostly ride gravel and 45c for me is a sweet spot. Previous tyres felt like wide road tyres to me. On tar they are fast. On gravel they hold in the corners. A genuinely good product

My gravel bike with it's Farr dot tyres. Last year I rode Swellendam with my other Hardtail and mtb tyres choosing not to ride my Cannondale slate which I then sold. A good decision as I passed far better riders because they were struggling on their gravel rides. This year I'm taking this because I have confidence in the set up and wheels

@Farrnus, I'm aware these fit on 29" rims - but how will they mount up on 29mm internal width rims? I'm a bit worried that the rims will be too wide for the tyres and make the profile too square? Do you guys have any experience mounting them on wide rims?

Rolling some on my Diverge. Roll incredibly well on the road, and the volume mean you can throw a lot of horror at them on the gravel. Cannot fault them thus farr

I had them on my Momsen R355 gravel bike..........not happy at all ! Punctured many times, even on tar twice during the 94.7 last year !

I took them off and replaced with WTB................no punctures yet in almost a year and fantastic grip and handling

Thanks for the comment. I must admit, I haven't put a ton of miles on them yet. Planning a big week of bikepacking next week, so might be worth doing some more research first. 

 

Anyone else having puncture issues?

I wouldn't use them for a bike-packing trip, just too unreliable. I cycled around 1100km on them with numerous issues. They are also heavy, so i've saved 700grams with just fitting other tyres on.

How do they compare to Gravel Kings?
