Review on 🚴 Panaracer GravelKing Folding Tire: Versatile Black with Black Sidewall - A Superior Choice for Adventurous Riders by Russell Wong

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Super fit Mavic Open 4 CD rims

Lightweight folders with Kevlar beads. They stick like glue. I think they are a little more expensive but not insane. Intermediate++. They feel pretty good on the bike and corner very confidently (asphalt). In any case, I would be wary of throwing the bike into a gravel turn on them. It's basically a file tire with a foldable bead and a carcass that looks pretty good. The case is a bit small. I think the 700 x 28 (the size I bought) will fit most bikes with road brake calipers. To me, this 700 x 28 on the Mavic rim looked like a 23. The fit. Crazy tight. Squeeze the inner chamber fighting these and plastic levers. Tip for future buyers: Mount and dismount tires once without a tube and then mount them with a tube. In my case with my rims, this seems to have stretched the bead to the point where I could barely push the rim with my hands, avoiding pinching. If they can stand the commute, they might buy again because they feel very fast. I hope they hit the middle ground in terms of speed and resilience to road hazards.
