This uniquely designed and cutting edge community boasting the only marina established in the Riviera Maya. Whether it proves as durable as some heavier tyres remains to be seen, but for such a light and smooth-rolling tyre it's certainly enjoyable to ride.The gated marina community of Puerto Aventuras is located just 20 minutes south of Playa del Carmen and 30 minutes north of Tulum.

Even with this narrower option, though, the grip surpassed my expectations. The 38mm size I tested won't suit all, but there is a wider version if you have more clearance. It's hard to find fault with the Aventura. Vittoria's comparable Terreno Dry is closer, but still a fiver more at £54.99. While it isn't exactly cheap at £49.99 per tyre, the Aventura does cost less than some of the competition, such as the impressive Schwalbe G-One R at £70, and the Continental's Terra Speed and Terra Trail, both £65.95. I didn't experience any punctures, though I did notice some air loss between two rides – that might have been a puncture which then sealed, but there was nothing evident from the outside, and no further leakage. Whether the Aventura is the most durable gravel tyre remains to be seen. I've tested more race-focused gravel tyres from Schwalbe, Vittoria and Continental, and the only one I've used that weighed less is the practically bald Maxxis Receptor. > 10 of the best gravel bike tyres for 2022 - get more grip, speed & comfortĪt 450g it's very light, even for a relatively narrow tyre. I pushed the tyres hard, even taking on some red-graded mountain bike trails, and while they weren't fast, they held up and survived. It was only in deep, sloppy mud that they struggled, which is to be expected given the tight and low-profile tread pattern. I used the tyres in a range of weather conditions and on hardpack terrain they worked well both dry and wet. The only time I felt a slight loss of traction was from the rear when unweighted while braking hard. With my confidence growing, I continued to push the tyres to find their limits and they continued to impress, even on one of the fastest and twistiest descents I use for testing tyres they were tenacious, helping me achieve a PB on the 3km downhill. In the corners I found it encouraged confidence, especially when run at lower pressures, with the front tyre gripping even on slightly loose gravel. The tread pattern continues towards the edge of the tyre, the knobs slightly larger and more spaced out, but still very much a low-profile tyre. Heading off-road onto hardpacked trails, I wasn't expecting such minimal tread to have much grip but it proved me wrong, with excellent traction both uphill and down, rarely losing grip even on the steepest climbs and fastest corners. The tyres deliver a swift, smooth and quiet ride that is almost certainly down to the tread pattern – very tightly packed, trefoil-like knobs. Initial impressions on the road were very good. I tested the tyres at pressures between 25psi and 35psi, depending on the ride and trail surface. Once fitted, the tyres measured exactly 38mm, and this was on rims with a reasonably wide 24mm internal rim.
