Coming soon (April, to be exact) are three new colors for the Panaracer Gravelking and Gravelking SK. The new hues are Bordeaux Red, Belgian Orange, and Sandstone. All three will be avaiable in both models, and all with your choice of black or brown sidewalls. They’ll run $49.99 each and join the other green and blue colors that have been in the line for a few months.

Look for all the colors in all the biggest sizes, too, including 700×38, 700×43, and 27.5×1.9 (650Bx48) for the SK (Side Knob) version, and 27.5×1.9 (650Bx48) and 700×38 for the smoother Gravelking standard. Now we just need yellow and violet and we’ll have a nice little prism of colors available!

That sandstone color is hot! It’s a good replacement for the discontinued Vittoria tires.

I’ve got Panaracer-made Fairweather For Traveller 28 mm tires on my bike (Fairweather is Blue Lug’s house brand) and they’re the exact same color as the Bordeaux Red GravelKings. Fairweather calls the color “rust.”

The For Traveller tires are a variation of Panaracer’s Tour Guard Plus road tire, but are close enough to the normal herringbone-tread GravelKings. They just swap the center herringbone tread for a file tread pattern.

Bordeaux. With a nondirectional thread pattern.
For when your bike’s job is looking good in front of the hipster café rather than taking you places. ‍♂️

well if said bike clad in nondirectional thread pattern tires (its tread by the way) is out the front of a hipster cafe fair chance its how you/they got there, so it indeed does take you places, remember its all about the journey not he destination

You’re right about the tread of course (and the places, for suitably small values of “places”) – I’ll blame it on the same thing that turned my facepalmey into that masculinity symbol. Back2ASCII 😉

Tyler, everywhere else I’ve heard that the SK stands for “small knob,” never “side knob.” Do you have some inside information no one else has?

I call it side knob because the other name hits too close to home.

Actually Panaracer calls it Semi Knobby, but your guesses are descriptive enough.

As a Belgian I have to ask: what the hell is “Belgian orange”?
Our neighbours to the north (the Dutch) have orange as their national colour, so I guess that’s where the mixup happened.
Now waiting for them to release tires with Mexican Stars & stripes.
