Excellent review, thank you! Usually "suppleness" goes hand in hand with low rolling resistance, so hearing they felt a bit harsh was quite surprising

@GravelCyclist 13 дней назад

Once I got the pressure sorted, they rode as I hoped. A side effect of the TuffTex.

@MrFrescocotone 13 дней назад

@@GravelCyclist what pressure ?

@GravelCyclist 13 дней назад

I mentioned this in the review, and this will depend on your body weight, with me between 160 to 165lb. 18psi front, and up to 20psi rear, on the 45mm size.

@MrFrescocotone 13 дней назад

@@GravelCyclist that's very low, even for your body weight, for a 45 tire. Every tire would feel comfortable at such low pressure. It is a bit concerning if they require such low pressure to feel supple

@GravelCyclist 13 дней назад

Most people would probably be satisfied with mid to high 20's, but I prefer lower on these. No burping issues, no bottoming out, no dead feeling. Freely admit I enjoy tinkering. Tyre reviews are subjective, these X1 / X1 R's may feel amazing to you at 28psi.

@CaptainShiny5000 13 дней назад

Hmm, tbh, I never liked the Gravelking SK and this looks a little bit more usable to me but I doubt that it'll be able to replace my go to tire which is the WTB Resolute (the light rolling one). That has been the only tire so far which was able to cope with any weather/temperature and street conditions I could throw at it.

@GravelCyclist 13 дней назад

WTB Resolute is Indeed an excellent tyre.

Running some of the new SS tyres in 35mm for my road wheels. Bit of a pain to get on the rims, but seating with a floor pump was no issue. Running tubless and zero issues after 300km of suspect roads and bridleways. Will probably get the X1 when my Goodyear connectors wear out on the gravel wheels.

@PatJuhNL 2 дня назад

Just a new gravelrider here but I've replaced my stock Schwalbe G-Ones 40mm for these (X1+ 40mm) and they seem much faster and grippier. I might upgrade to a 45mm set for the winter when it's a bit muddier on my tracks.

@GravelCyclist 2 дня назад

Hello there, and welcome. Generally for muddier conditions, you desire a narrower tyre to cut through the mud. For the stickiest of mud, which depends on where you ride, the Panaracer EXT tyre is my go to for such conditions.

@PatJuhNL День назад

@stevekelly6544 13 дней назад

I really like these, have them on my Gravel bike and my Single Speed….they are a bit stubborn to get on, and seat, but I got it down after doing the first pair. I have the regular 40mm in brown sidewalls, I’m 6’2” and 200 pounds, and run them about 32-35psi for gravel and off road and around 38-40psi for road rides, they feel great to me.

@GravelCyclist 13 дней назад

Nice one Steve. I had to drop them lower in psi to achieve my preferred feeling, but these tyres are so so nice.

@stevekelly6544 12 дней назад

@@GravelCyclist yeah I prefer my pressure a little on the firmer side than most do, I’ll take a little abuse for a little more speed, lol

I have test the x1 in 40mm. Great quality, super easy to setting up tubeless and they inflate 41 mm /38 mm high on my 22 mm internal rim. The only thing i don't like is the rolling resistance and weight. I came from the s works pathfinder and they were more fast/agile. Now i ride the Tufo Gravel Speedero 44mm and they fits perfect to my ride profile...

I rode the 700x43 Gravel King SK tires for many years. However, I switched to the 700x47 Specialized Pathfinder Pro tires and I won't be going back to the GK SK's. The Pathfinder's roll much faster, are more comfortable, are dead silent on pavement, and they don't throw tiny bits of gravel like the GK SK's.

@GravelCyclist 12 дней назад

Except this review was about the X1 and X1 R.

@GravelCyclist 12 дней назад

No disrespect intended to you, Mark. I only ever heard complaints of tiny gravel being chucked by GK SK's from those who excessively suck wheel. Serious first world problem / mamby pamby land.

@abfutrell 11 дней назад

Despite the weight, I've PR'd all my gravel climbs on the X1 in 45c. My previous PR's were set with both the SS and SK in a 38c over the span of 2 years. I find myself running lower pressure than I would normally, but I roll faster and more comfortably. For the price I think these are a great tire to have.

@GravelCyclist 11 дней назад

Curious, what pressure are you running?

@abfutrell 11 дней назад

@@GravelCyclist I'm 61 Kgs. With the 38s I was running 33/38 psi. With the 45s I mainly use 25/30 psi. But recently I've been experimenting with 23/28 psi.

Have you ever tried slick, large volume (e.g. >40 mm), lightweight casing tires on pavement and packed down mud? Am curious to know how fast they are compared to a road tire.

@GravelCyclist 12 дней назад

I tried the closest thing to that years ago, a WTB Byway in mud... it didn't go well. Not a tyre designed for mud, it was a bit slippy.

@davehunt2191 13 дней назад

I’m an old MTB racer and rider and have been fairly familiar with Panaracer’s products since the introduction of the Smoke and the Dart which both work well for the time. I’ve now transitioned to gravel riding and have been using WTB products for my tires of choice. Any chance of you doing a review on their products?

@GravelCyclist 13 дней назад

I have reviewed several WTB tyres on the Gravel Cyclist website, before I switched virtually all reviews to RU-vid several years ago. With that said, I have a video dropping tomorrow that may be related to WTB 😀

@tstarnes11 12 дней назад

Doesn’t sound like you have any concerns with sidewall durability in the X1 R? I came from loving Tufo Gravel Thundero and while the X1 R sidewall seems slightly thinner to the touch when uninstalled, the ride quality is at least equal IMO. I have only about 100 miles on my set and so far and they ride great on local gravel and pavement (for their size). 45 measures 48 on my 25.5 mm ID rims

@GravelCyclist 12 дней назад

Hello there, no concerns with sidewall durability. With that said, if I was expecting terrain at say an event where sidewall cuts from rocks, flint, and so on was a known issue, I would likely run the X1. I was a little remiss in measuring inflated volume as you did (thank you), or at least including it in the video. Like you, I found with the three rims I rode with inner diameters of 23 to 25mm, I gained at least 2mm of freebie width, which is usually a nice bonus.

@nklundy565 13 дней назад

Love my X1 700x40c. Had some difficulty getting it on the rim, no problems setting up tubeless with only a basic floor pump. Super fast with good control and no punctures yet.

@sabamacx 13 дней назад

Wish the sidewall was more like the Rene Herse colour they make in the same Panaracer factory.

@keithpollasky2414 13 дней назад

Not a fan of the Panracer Gravelking tires. I find they don’t handle well on loose gravel here in No. Cal. I prefer Rene Herse tires with treads in both the 44 & 48MM widths. I find them far superior including riding on the road to get to the trails.

@GravelCyclist 13 дней назад

I've had no problems riding Panaracer GK SK in NorCal, and I have many videos to prove it. Loose gravel is often a case of skills over tread patterns in my experience. With that said, no experience riding Rene Herse tyres, made in the same factory as Panaracer. iMHO, they look to be flimsy with a focus on very light weight in some cases, and vastly overpriced.

@hansschotterradler3772 13 дней назад

@GravelCyclist In addition to succeptability to punctures, Rene Herse has also a history of popping off the rim. But I can imagine that their light weight and suppleness can result in great riding characteristics.
