Tan wall, 40 or 45mm size, puncture protection, and 'super race' casing.

Looks very promising! I love Schwalbe Tires for my road an mountain bikes but have been underwhelmed with their gravel offerings until now. I will give the 45's a go once I can find a set.

Looks good, I'm surprised there isn't a 35mm version as well.
Velonews shows the 40mm version as weighing 485g, which seems kind of heavy to me but if they roll fast it may not matter. $89/ea is also not insignificant.
Solid product placement by Hunt in those Cyclingtips photos. I wonder how much they pay for that.

Schwalbe makes some of the best gravel tires.
But with pandemic pricing - its getting hard to find anything on sale. I usually buy stuff when i see a big discount, but everything is top dollar these days.

These appear good for dirt / gravel, but look like they would be slow on pavement.
