Byways on the Highway

This is an excellent tire for light gravel and mixed pavement roads. They roll fast. Good on an easy, dry singletrack, but honestly would have liked more width. A good product.

Pros
  • is only available with black sidewall.
Cons
  • New Competitors

Great gravel/road bike tire

Tubeless very easy to fit. It costs a few dollars extra for the puncture-proof version. Rolls quieter and faster than most Gravel tires thanks to the smooth middle section. Ideal for driving on gravel roads. Very happy with it.

Pros
  • Dual DNA Compound/Tubeless Folding Bead/Light Body/Single Ply/SG2 Protection/120tpi/etrto: 44-622
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Who Said It's Tubeless?

I really wanted to use this tire. Although stated to be 700 x 44, it is narrower than the Panaracer 700 x 43. However, this is not a tubeless tire. At least not for me. The bead was easy to mount, but it never holds pressure on me. The walls were leaking through the side walls. I couldn't even finish a ride on this tire. It's a really good tire and I was really hoping it would work but it just couldn't hold the pressure.

Pros
  • The high body volume allows the Detour to penetrate deeper into the mud than you would expect from a drop-beam semi-slick tire. byway allows drivers to find comfort and confidence on remote gravel roads without getting bogged down in the pavement required to reach them.
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Great tire for asphalt/dirt roads.

I ordered 700x44 for my 2021 Trek Dual Sport. Replaced the stock Bontrager GRE 1 Expert 700x40. The tires are basically the same size as the WTB, which is 41mm and not 44 as advertised. I went up to 44 based on previous comments and glad I did. WTB 700 x 40 would be too small for me. It's a great looking tire and the tread pattern is just great to me: 60% pavement, 40% dirt/gravel and the handling and traction are excellent. This is a riding bear but well worth the effort as the ride isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sport Type: Cyclocross
Cons
  • Upgradeable
