The Panaracer GravelKing SK R-Line Folding Tyre is designed for serious gravel cyclists seeking a lightweight, performance-oriented tire. Its key benefit is the enhanced suppleness and reduced weight from the new TuffTex-R casing, combined with excellent grip and puncture resistance thanks to the ZSG Gravel Compound and BeadLock technology. A potential caveat is that the ultra-lightweight casing might require more careful handling during mounting and inflation compared to more robust standard casings.

The TuffTex-R casing is significantly lighter and more supple than standard casings, offering a more comfortable ride and reduced rotational weight.
While it can be used on roads, its tread pattern and construction are optimized for gravel and mixed terrain. It will have higher rolling resistance on pavement compared to a dedicated road tire.
Recommended pressures vary based on rider weight, load, and terrain. Generally, for tubeless setups, pressures can range from 30-45 PSI. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines and adjust based on your riding experience.
BeadLock ensures a secure and consistent bead seat, making tire mounting easier and providing enhanced retention to prevent the tire from de-beading, even at lower pressures or on hookless rims.
Yes, the tire is TLR (Tubeless Ready) but can also be used with an inner tube on standard clincher rims if preferred.
'SK' stands for Small Knob, referring to the tire's tread pattern which is designed for versatile performance on varied gravel surfaces.
The specific weight for the 700x45C R-Line is TBC (To Be Confirmed) at this time.
Ensure the rim bed is clean and free of debris. Use a tubeless-specific rim tape. Try increasing the inflation speed with a compressor or CO2 cartridge. Check that the BeadLock bead is correctly positioned in the rim channel.
Ensure sufficient tubeless sealant was used. Rotate and shake the wheel to distribute the sealant. Inspect the tire and rim for any small punctures or damage that sealant may not have sealed. Re-apply sealant if necessary.
The TuffTex-R casing is designed for lightness and suppleness. For extremely rough terrain, consider slightly increasing tire pressure or opting for a more robust tire model if durability is the primary concern.
Ensure the bead is fully relaxed in the center channel of the rim before attempting to mount the last section. Use tire levers carefully to avoid damaging the bead. The BeadLock technology is designed for easier mounting, but some initial resistance is normal.
Setup: This tire is Tubeless Ready (TLR) and features a folding bead for easier installation. Ensure you are using appropriate tubeless rim tape and sealant for your wheels. The BeadLock technology aids in seating the tire bead securely on both hookless and standard clincher rims. Inflate gradually, listening for the bead to 'pop' into place. Check for sealant distribution by gently shaking the wheel.
Compatibility: The GravelKing SK R-Line is compatible with most gravel bike wheelsets, supporting both tubeless and clincher setups thanks to the BeadLock feature. Always ensure the tire's intended width (700x45C) fits your frame and fork clearance.
Care: Regularly inspect the tire for wear and any signs of damage. Clean the tire with water and a mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh solvents. Check tire pressure before each ride.
