Panaracer GravelKing Slick TLC Folding Tyre

Product Information

It's critical to understand our static wet grip test works with a hard surface. This means the grip data is only directly useful for comparing tires on hard surfaces where the rubber compound creates the grip. Understanding the test results gets more difficult when grip is created by the knobs digging into the surface. Sadly however I had a spate of punctures on a wet road commute home and then and one tear that the saw the Stans sealant blow out like a Catherine wheel on plot night. 300 miles and rip tyre! Tyre choice has a fundamental impact on how your gravel bike rides, so we put seven of the latest and best-selling gravel tyres to the test to find out which offers the best grip, speed and puncture protection over the rough stuff. Each item entering Canada will be charged GST (General Sales Tax) and PST (Provincial Sales Tax - varies by province) based on the declared value. ZSG Natural Compound: This compound has the same low rolling resistance as the premium compound. Its enhanced wear resistance makes it perfect for a long lasting training tire with an excellent ride.

I typically have 38-40 psi in it. I have punctured it once since I installed it, but it was one of those stealth punctures that sealed without my knowledge. Only discovered it when I was pumping up the tire and noticed an abnormally low starting pressure.On the road they felt amazing, the comfort of a large volume tyre on a carbon gravel bike is really welcome. On mixed surfaces they didn't inspire much confidence. I figured I'd use this fast-acting sealant, which is capable of plugging bigger holes than the standard option, as I was expecting rough conditions over the winter, but I needn't have worried – or if they have punctured I've not noticed it. So it's a win-win.

AX technology uses extremely narrow cord which is weaved at a super high density into the casing for lightness and flexibility. This increased density improves resistance to cuts and abrasions. At 309g per tyre it's pretty light, and only 19g heavier than the 32mm version. Meanwhile the 38s give a slightly bigger jump at 337g, so you could argue these are the sweet spot for weight versus width. Certainly they're a lot lighter than the outgoing 40mm Schwalbe G-One All Round tyres that came with my all-roads/gravel bike, which are about 480g. Puncture Force Blunt Needle: The Blunt needle has a flat tip and won't split the casing wires. To puncture the tire, the blunt needle has to cut the casing wires.Finance is subject to application, financial circumstances and borrowing history.
