Panaracer GravelKing SS Folding Tubeless Gravel Tire 700x38c Black

The GravelKing SS Tire delivers unmatched performance for riders seeking speed and precision on dry roads and competitive gravel terrain. Designed as an evolution of its acclaimed predecessor, this high-performance tubeless-ready clincher combines race-day efficiency with versatile traction—ideal for cyclists tackling fast-paced gravel events or pavement-focused adventures where every second counts. Whether you’re chasing KOMs on smooth trails or carving through technical sections during endurance rides, its innovative tread pattern ensures rapid acceleration without sacrificing grip or stability.

At its core lies our proprietary ZSG (Zero Slip Grip) compound—a breakthrough formulation that balances low rolling resistance with tenacious traction on hardpack surfaces and loose gravel alike. The center’s diamond-cut grooves slice through dust while maintaining razor-sharp cornering ability, while reinforced side lugs provide confidence-inspiring grip during steep climbs or high-speed descents.

Constructed with a supple 120 TPI casing wrapped in a durable nylon puncture belt, this tire offers both agility and reliability under pressure—perfect for riders navigating unpredictable conditions or long-distance challenges where flats aren’t an option. Its lightweight design (410g) ensures minimal rotational mass without compromising strength, making it equally at home on pavement during century rides as it is on packed dirt during criterium-style gravel races.
