No longer do you need to choose between a gravel bike tire that is either fast, light, or providing great traction. The new Booster Pro combines the best of all worlds.
Versatile casing with great all-round protection. 50% lighter than traditional trail puncture breakers. Tubeless ready. Intended use: All-around Cx and gravel riding
very smooth rolling on the pavement, haven't been on the gravel with them. so far, the tires seem to handle very well.
I went on my first ride with my new Boosters and they grabbed the sandy surface and helped me through the soft spots. Of course they were fine on the hard surfaces. Everything was wet, but I never had a hint of a problem.
Installed the 40mm on 25mm internal width rims and performed very well after riding known route with loose rocky picthes, hooks up well, rolls well on initial ride with 50% gravel 50% pavement. Installation was trouble free and with low volume bike compressor the seated first try.
Previous tires were 38mm light tread front and 35 file tread rear. Bonus reflective logo is MUCH appreciated since this bike doubles as a commuter.
quick to ship and arrive -
one mounted with no problems (just a floor pump) , the other did, after using all the tricks (including a compressor) but it finally did. maybe the difference between rim type? the extra night of relaxing out the folding kinks? not sure...
