Review on 🚲 Enhanced Riding Experience with Panaracer Swoop Folding Bead Tire by Troy Early

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Why is the tire so wrong?

I don't know what to think of these tires. When I installed the tire on my 26" front wheel, the tire was a bit wobbly, but the inner tube was fine. I don't know if it was wrapped in zip ties for too long and permanently affected the shape of the rubber, or if it was itself eventually straightened myself. However when I took my bike out to the track it ran great. Much better than the previous tire I had. Now I use this 2.25 front and my old 2.1 rear (smoke) and the bike is amazing now .But then again, the deformed rubber shape is a bit worrying.

Pros
  • Aramid (Kevlar) bead
Cons
  • Useless features
