Great for flint hills B roads and gravel adventure rides. I rode these tires thousands of miles and they are one of my favorite gravel tires of all time, however, they are AWFUL in the mud. I don't know what all these other reviews are talking about but they will cake up FAST and you will fight hard to keep riding in Kansas mud with these tires. 10/10 dry conditions 1/10 if you encounter mud.
I am an amateur race enthusiast. So far, I have ridden two 100-mile races and the North Course of Unbound XL on these tires. These tires have handled mud, sand, and big and small rocks well. On Barry-Roubaix, I completed the course in under 6:30 to earn the coveted mug. In a Local 100-mile race, I won on these tires. Finally, I just finished UB XL with them. I had a puncture that quickly sealed, not noticing until I came home and cleaned the bike. After 700 miles of riding, the tread still looks great, and the tire keeps performing well.
love it
This tire is great for gravel/ off road
Perfecto para un gravel con barro, arena, o piedras. Y bastante eficaz en el asfalto. Un gravel con toque de mtb!
700x42, I put these on my 2017 Fuji Absolute bike and was able to tear single track mountain bike loops with confidence! These have so much grip. I don't weigh a lot so I'm able to drop the pressures down to 28psi with inner tubes and these handle rocks, roots, dirt with ease! I will for sure be buying these again.
Traktion und Kontrolle sind hervorragend, selbst auf loserem Untergrund und bei nassen Bedingungen. Dennoch rollen die Rhombus auf hartem Untergrund recht schnell, dank der eng stehenden Mittelstollen. Tubeless war sehr einfach, habe ca. 70ml pro Reifen verwendet und mit einer MTB Standpumpe aufegepumpt.
Great tires. Use it as a front paired with the pathfinder on rear you get the fast rolling rear with the grip in front. Using this as a rear tire is good too the center knobs are supportive on the straights.
These are GREAT tires, stick well in just about anything you throw at them. Really love the traction they give in the gravel, goop and sand. They also roll pretty smooth and corner confidently on pavement, admittedly with a little noise. My speed on pavement is only off just a bit from the 32mm Armadillos Elites I normally run on the road. They aren't much heavier either. They are super easy to mount by hand on the Terra CLX wheels I have. I set them up tubeless with a regular tire pump, it was super super easy and I didn't need to break out the air can!!! They seated right up and held air immediately and I've had no leaky sidewall messiness since I put in the sealant. Note for the Creo SL folks, the 47mm fits, but has ZERO clearance for mud and goop. You really want the 42s, and even they might clog up in the really sticky mud. They are so good I won my age group (55+) at the first gravel (eGravel) race I've ever entered in my life in Kremmling last weekend... what a thrill!
O pneu pra gravel mais divertido que tem! Isso pelo fato de fazer muita curva e ter uma tração excepcional. Fiz o Bikingman 2022 usando a medida 700x47 em minha Crux e simplesmente eles salvaram nos 5 dias de chuva constante, onde tiveram vários trechos de lama tipo pasta de amendoim e pedras pontudas. A maior parte desta prova foi de asfalto e ele se mostrou com boa rolagem nesses trechos. Sua borracha tem um grip de tração excelente e faz com que conseguimos pedalar mais em pé com mais potencia, em trechos de gravel mais inclinados e escorregadios. Uso um par de 700x47 em minha Sequoia e eles são super robustos. Para quem gosta de descer bem agressivo e/ou pedala em um gravel mais grosseiro.
These tires are great for concrete or gravel on trails.
La mejor llanta de gravel para el tipo de terreno en Colombia, las pendientes, y el tamaño 47c da la seguridad, comodidad que se agradece.
Fijne banden, zeker als je veel singeltrack en MTB trail rijdt. Geeft veel grip ook in natte en modderige omstandigheden. Op asfalt wel meer weerstand, maar dat was te verwachten.
It’s a fine tire, but (like most/all tires) volume will be impacted by rim width. On my 12-year old rims, the tire is significantly thinner than on my modern wheels. The difference is striking, and changes how the tire corners.
Great tires. Really grumpy and fast rolling
Finally I feel comfortable in mud and terrain.
My local bike shop mounted Rhombus Pros on my Salsa Warbird after the OEM Maxxis Ramblers tread delaminated after only 800 miles. The Rhombus is a beast on loose dirt and moderate mud (as long as it's not too deep). Very impressive! The Rhombus also rides well on packed dirt and pea-gravel but have a tendency to grab and throw smaller bits of gravel into the air, pelting your back and helmet. I will note that, at speed, on pavement, the Rhombus gets a bit squirrely and likes to try to steer you where you don't want to go. So, keep your wits about you when descending steep curvy hills on tarmac.
So far, I just can't believe how great this tire is. Using it as a front tire for mostly-dirt rides, local MTB track in South Bay, CA. It's never washed out on me in the front. And I simply can't believe how well it rolls on flats and pavement. I don't get it. To me, so far, this is the THE perfect gravel tire, especially in the front, if you ride a little more aggressively than gravel roads. It rolls so well I might just use it in back as well.
J’ai longtemps hésité à passer sur du pneu de 42 bien cramponné, inutile de précisé que j’ai été servi avec ces Rhombus! En plus de donner un look agricole à votre machine ces pneu ont une accroche fabuleuse. Et chose étonnante ils ne sont pas à la peine sur les quelques portions goudronné que l’on peu franchir mise à part un bruit de roulement. Le 42mm apporte confort et les crampons latéraux une sacré accroche. Ils sont idéaux lorsque l’on part à l’aventure défricher de nouveaux sentiers et que l’on connaît pas sur quoi on va rouler. Seul petit désagrément les cailloux ont tendance à se mettre dedans et à être projeté sur le cadre.
I'm running the Rhombus Pro 42s on my 3 month old Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO on a new Roval Terra CLX carbon wheelset. The setup is tubeless (32 and 45 psi). They're built using an additional set of brake rotors and rear cassette that match my originals, These tires are confidence building on steep or technical single track and fire roads with large cobbles. Since I started riding on the new wheels and tires I'm finding less of a reason to ride my mountain bike. They are also shockingly fast on pavement. I have ran well over 30mph on slight downhills. I've kept the stock wheels and Pathfinder Pro 38s for road and light gravel duty. The Pathfinders are quite good on dirt and gravel, but I needed more traction for step ascents, descents and technical sections. I run the Pathfinders between 45 and 65psi depending on the ride. Having both sets of wheels gives me the best of both worlds. The Rhombus Pros and Pathfinders are the perfect tires for most rides on San Diego/So Cal.
I installed these Rhombus tires on my new Turbo Creo SL Carbon Comp EVO paired with Rapide C38 Wheels (an upgrade). While the stock tires (Pathfinder Pro's) were awesome and gripped well in gravel or dirt and could run on low inflation pressure, the Rhombus brings riding on the loose, steep, off camber, gravel and dirt fire service roads to a whole new level. They can be ridden at very low pressure (I run at 34-36 lbs, tubeless with sealant) and they are wider with better cornering. It's like riding with thin mountain bike tires. They also do well on asphalt surfaces due to the high center ridge (obviously the Pathfinders are smoother on asphalt). But since 75% of my riding is on steep, twisty, and loose gravel or dirt roads, the Rhombus is a perfect upgrade for my gravel e-bike.
Rolls faster than I expected for how well the tire hooks up once the dirt gets loose and steep. Give me 47mm versions!
Rode these on my local trail non tubeless and was very impressed with the grip it provided, especially the shoulders knobs and grip when braking.
J'ai essayé de nombreuses marques de pneu mais celui ci est juste parfait il tient dans les parties techniques et il est roulant sur les dfci. Juste un regret j'aurai aimé mettre plus large 44 mais il n'existe qu'en 42 mais au final ça passe partout. Bill Gravel

These came standard with my Diverege EVO Flat bar. I removed the inner tube so as to go tubeless as soon as I got home. They exceeded my expectations. Fabulous for cornering on loose surfaces thanks to the aggressive side-nobs. Great for climbing thanks to the traction that a 42cm tubeless tire at low PSI can provide. Works well enough on sealed roads - i.e., I can hold the wheel of my friends on their regular gravel bikes. The one disadvantage is the weight that comes with 42cm. But that's a worthwhile trade-off.
