Isn't that on the heavy side for a tire?
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- loeg 3y agoYes. This is not marketed at anyone vaguely performance sensitive. For very rough comparison, a GP5000 in 28mm is 280g. But a more comparable tough, heavy (wire-bead) Schwalbe Marathon in 28mm is 560g. (Schwalbe could save a bunch of weight using folding beads, but it seems like they don't bother for the Marathon line.)
- chihuahua 3y agoFor the quoted 700x35 size, it's similar to ordinary tires. Depending on the type of tire you're comparing to (pure road tire, gravel tire, commuter, etc)
- loeg 3y agoIt's a little heavy for a 700x35 tire. Compare: Rene Herse Bon Jon Pass (700x35) @ 355g or Continental Terra Speed TR 35 (a knobby gravel tire) @ 360g or Continental Grand Prix 5000 All Season TR 35 @ 425g.
