Review on 🚲 Panaracer GravelKing Folding Tire, Multiple Options, Black/Brown Sidewall by Elvis Kimbro

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I survived BWR on my road bike!

I installed 28mm pebbles on my S-Works asphalt specifically for training and racing at the Belgian Waffle Ride. I admit it's not an ideal configuration but I needed a tire that would at least handle the ride given my limitations as I didn't want to buy a 'gravel bike' just for this event. Paired with 28-32mm Q-Tubes, I found these tires extremely stable on the roughest pavement, but fast enough on the pavement. On sandy and rocky descents I was definitely at a disadvantage compared to others with 35mm+ tires. However, in hundreds of miles of training runs, as well as an actual 133 mile race, I have never fallen, which is more than I could have hoped for! I would definitely recommend this tire if your primarily looking for a flat road tire. yet tough enough to survive in rough terrain.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
