Rene Herse's award-winning 650b clincher rolls fast on pavement while floating over loose gravel
The Rene Herse Switchback Hill TC earns its reputation on routes that refuse to commit to a single surface, the kind of all-day ride that starts on asphalt, opens onto gravel, and asks the tire to do both without compromise. Made in Japan, it pairs a folding bead and tubeless compatibility with broad appeal for racers and randonneurs alike.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The wide casing rolls over loose gravel without scrubbing speed on the pavement connectors. At 50mm actual width it floats where a narrower tire would dig in, and it doesn't punish on the miles in between."
