Size: 700×40C (40-622) Weight: 460g

[Gravel-specific compound] The newly developed ZSG GRAVEL compound is used. Designed to withstand harsh conditions, it provides low rolling resistance and high grip regardless of the road surface.

[Lightweight and Flexible] The Gravel King R series uses the newly developed TuffTex R structure. It uses a lighter and more flexible casing than the regular model, providing excellent ride comfort.

[Easy tubeless setup] The bead and structure have been thoroughly redesigned so that the bead can be easily raised even with a floor pump. Compatible with various rims, including hookless.

[Semi-slicks for versatile use] The center of the tread has a weaving pattern that is conscious of lightness of the ride, and the side has a pattern that is conscious of grip when cornering. Ideal for rides with a high proportion of paved roads and packed gravel.
