Cyclocross and Gravelbiking (Recreational) This has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed bicycle racing on a short off road course or riding the off pavement rides on gravel like : "Unbound Gravel". We also have a dedicated Racing forum for the Cyclocross Hard Core Racers.

Anyone tried Bontrager GR2 tires?

Thread title asks the question. I've seen a couple good online reviews, but not too much info - such as actual width on various rim widths.

I appreciate any input! Thanks.

I have the GR2 Team Issue in 40c. I only use them on occasion. Sorry I did not measure them when mounted. I have not had any issues with their performance on dirt or gravel (and this is my first knobby tire so nothing really to compare it to). They are slower on pavement but that is comparing them to Gravel King slicks in 38c.

Thanks for that input! Are they mounted tubeless, and - if so - were they easily to get mounted?

Yes, I have run them tubeless on two different wheelsets and both mounted fine. They do however loose air slowly over a few days more so than my gravel kings.
