Gravel tyres

[JayLow]

Does anyone have an opinion on the Kenda Booster Pro (700x40c) tyre? I just bought a set at LBS recommendation, and the reviews online seem pretty glowing. Plus the tan walls now match my mtb so that must reduce the rolling resistance a little.

I ride the Kenda Booster pro 29 x 2.2 (measured about 55mm...)   on my Giant Revolt. 589g a tyre.

Rides like a tank... 👌

Interesting to see the increasing options for semi and full slick tyres, now up to c40.

 

Certainly an increasing market for people wanting ultra wide low rolling resistance tyres in town.

 

 

 

But yea ... these are still scarce in SA.
