Gravel Bikes with 45mm+ Tyre Clearance
Maximum tyre volume for plush comfort, technical trail grip, and UK winter mud capability
Tyre clearance is arguably the most decisive specification on any gravel bike. Bikes designed with 45mm, 47mm, or 50mm (2.0") clearance offer a dramatic transformation in traction, stability, and comfort over rough terrain.
Wider tyres allow you to run significantly lower pressures (down to 20โ28 PSI tubeless) without risking pinch flats. This creates a larger contact patch that conforms over roots, flint, rocks, and mud while acting as natural suspension.

The Benefits of 45mm+ Tyre Clearance on UK Trails
Why wide rubber is the ultimate weapon for handling Britain's rugged bridleways and wet seasons.
Traction, Cushioning, and Mud Clearance
Running 45mm+ tyres gives you the confidence to ride mountain-bike style trails, rocky descents, and sandy fire roads with stability and ease. Furthermore, generous clearance means that even when running 40mm tyres in winter, your frame won't get clogged with sticky UK clay.
- โLower tyre pressures dramatically reduce rolling resistance over bumpy off-road surfaces.
- โAmple room for mudguard installation without sacrificing tyre volume.
- โOption to swap between 700c wide gravel tyres and 650b x 2.1" mountain bike tyres.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do 45mm tyres feel sluggish on the road?
Modern fast-rolling gravel tyres with slick or semi-slick center treads (like Pathfinder Pro or GravelKing SS) roll surprisingly fast on tarmac, with only a 1โ2 mph penalty compared to narrow road tyres.
