Schwalbe S-One is 127tpi and uses Level 5 (of 6) V-Guard puncture protection. It is 330g.
For '17, apparently S-One is rebranded as G-One Speed. They are expanding the line with a 60mm model, apparently adapting the textured tread pattern to the slick Big One's casing. The S-One moniker has been dropped from Schwalbe UK and Schwalbe International websites.
I have been very happy with my S-Ones on hardpacked gravel roads and they are really good on pavement, feeling solid and hooked-up even when cranked over; they're quiet and do not buzz on tarmac. Performance on shallow, loose surfaced gravel is good, as they're supple to conform to irregularities and narrow enough to cut down a bit to the firm underlayer. Snow performance is good for this reason. Sticks to dirt pretty good during unseated, power climbs.
Very nice tires, IMO.
