RENÉ HERSE Switchback Hill 650bx48

The original supple tire that started the ultra-wide ‘Road Plus’ segment. We name our tires after the passes in the Cascade Mountains that have inspired them: Switchback Hill (photo) is the first climb on the 360-mile Oregon Outback gravel ride/race. The gravel is quite loose in places, and the extra floatation of the Switchback Hill tires gives you more speed and security when the going gets really rough. 30% of the Oregon Outback is on pavement, so we designed this tire to roll as fast and grip as well as a good racing tire. With this tire, you truly have the best of both worlds. All Rene Herse tires combine the performance of high-end tubular tires with the convenience of clinchers and the width for all-road riding. The Standard casing is a more affordable option that also offers extra protection against sidewall cuts on sharp rocks. The Extralight casing takes the performance, comfort and feel of your bike to an entirely new level. The Switchback Hill is tubeless-compatible. When used with tubes, we recommend the SV13 or SV14A tubes. Made in Japan. casing color 650B x 48 Switchback Hill TC quantity 1 ADD TO CART Category: 650B Tags: essentials, tubeless-compatible
