This video contains paid product placement from Lauf. Huge tyre clearances are one of the hot trends for gravel bikes, but the big question many riders are asking is, are wider gravel tyres actually faster? To find out, we’ve devised a test using two tyre widths, aboard this very special Lauf Seigla. Liam will be testing 40mm and 50mm tyres back to back. Firstly, on a timed lap to challenge the bike over a mix of terrain, and then he’ll head to a new location to complete a timed roll-down test to find out which tyre has the least rolling resistance. Which tyre do you think will be faster?
