Review on AMERICAN CLASSIC Gravel Bike Tire: Premium Tubeless Ready Bicycle Tire for Optimal Performance on Loose Gravel and Various Terrains by Michael Boyle

Revainrating 3 out of 5

On difficult weekdays I drive best in sport

I really wanted to like these tires - they are attractive and the price matches their price. I recently put together a gravel bike and these 700x40 fit perfectly. They mount tubeless with little effort and look good. The only problem is that I hate her. No matter what tire pressure I run, the hard shell sidewalls don't do much, meaning they beat me up. I feel pain after riding even on relatively smooth pavement, let alone gravel or a single track. I hate that I hate them because tubeless gravel tires are typically $50 a tire and $70 a pair. Sorry guys, I just can't recommend these tires.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Band
