Panaracer TLR GravelKing X1 Plus TLR Gravel Tyre - 700X35C - Black/Brown

The X1 Plus features a new, aggressive tread pattern designed for faster rolling on loose and wet surfaces, combined with a focus on efficient mud shedding, which contributes to its speed advantage in demanding gravel conditions.

Yes, the 120 TPI TuffTex+ casing offers bead-to-bead protection, significantly reducing the risk of punctures from sharp objects and providing robust performance on rough terrain.

While designed for tubeless use with BeadLock TLR, these tires are generally compatible with standard inner tubes if your rims are not tubeless-ready. However, you will not benefit from the sealant's puncture protection and the BeadLock feature.

700c wheels with wider tires (40c+) offer a good balance of rollover speed and traction. 650B wheels with wider tires (48c+) provide greater tire volume for a more cushioned ride and enhanced traction on very rough terrain, often at the cost of slightly slower rolling on hard surfaces.

The ZSG Gravel compound is formulated to provide consistent grip and wear resistance across a wide range of temperatures and surface conditions, ensuring reliable performance whether it's hot and dry or cold and wet.

BeadLock TLR ensures a tighter seal between the tire bead and the rim, making tubeless inflation easier and providing greater confidence that the tire will stay securely mounted, even at lower pressures or during hard cornering.

While they can be used on roads, their aggressive tread is optimized for off-road grip and may wear faster and feel slower on pavement compared to dedicated road or smoother gravel tires.

Ensure the rim bed is clean and free of old sealant. Check that the BeadLock TLR bead is correctly positioned in the rim channel. Try increasing the inflation rate rapidly with a compressor or CO2 cartridge. Ensure consistent lubrication around the bead with soapy water.

Ensure you have sufficient tubeless sealant (typically 60-120ml per tire depending on size). Shake the wheel vigorously to distribute the sealant. Check for larger cuts or sidewall damage that sealant cannot repair.

This tire is optimized for gravel; prolonged pavement riding will accelerate wear. Consider using a different tire for mixed-surface commuting or if your rides are predominantly on roads. Check tire pressure; overinflation can increase wear on hard surfaces.

Experiment with slightly lower tire pressures to increase suppleness and comfort, provided you maintain adequate clearance and avoid rim strikes. Ensure the tire is correctly mounted and inflated.
