The gravel tire kings, Panaracer Tires releases some exciting new sizes to their iconic GravelKing line and updated additions to their Agilest Road group. I got to see the new tires up-close and personal while attending day 1 of the Sea Otter Classic yesterday. Let’s take a quick look.
The beast of the bunch is the new GravelKing SK in the 29 x 2.1″. Not only is the SK version of the GK the most aggressive of the bunch, but now with this new bigger size, you’re sure to increase the traction with a larger footprint when you’re puttin’ the horses down.
The other new addition to the GK family is the 700 x 43c in the OG GravelKing tread (slick). Just as tough as the original segment starter, this new size offers the 700c crowd extra volume, making it exceptional for the roads less traveled.
New Tougher/Lighter Agilest Tires
Continuing to be a prime example of the “Panaracer Ratio” with its balance of performance, puncture resistance, and grip while excelling at low rolling resistance, the Agilest Lite has added lighter compounds for sizes in the 700c x 28, and 25. The 700 x 28mm is weighing in at 190g, while the 25mm clocks in at a superlight 165g
Also added to the Algiest line are a tubeless (TLR) version of the tough DURO as well as two new sizes: 700c x 30 and 32mm both available in tan or black wall.
