PANARACER'S PIONEERING 650B-ONLY tyre ironically has a more '26in' feel than most mid-sized rubber due to its 560g weight, which means excellent acceleration, and its rounded carcass, which turns very easily.
It blows up just under 2in (49x48mm, to be precise),
grips well in loose loam/sand or grassy conditions and cleans quickly after wet
patches, making it a good summer singletrack speed tyre.
The staggered centre tread
isn't as fast as a semi-slick pattern on harder surfaces though and it needs
decent air pressures to help the sidewall bumper shrug off impact flats on
rocky ground.
PRICE 60$
