PANARACER GravelKing R 700 × 45C Tyre – TuffTex R, ZSG Gravel, Tubeless Ready, Black/Amber (RF745-GK-R-SX2)

The PANARACER GravelKing R 700 × 45C Black/Amber is a premium gravel tyre designed for maximum speed, comfort, and efficient rolling on asphalt as well as hard-packed unpaved roads. It ranks among the fastest models in the GravelKing lineup and, thanks to the innovative TuffTex R casing, provides outstanding suppleness while preserving reliable puncture protection.

This tyre combines the modern ZSG Gravel Compound, BeadLock bead technology, and a Tubeless Ready construction. The 45 mm width offers ample air volume for a comfortable ride over gravel, rough tarmac, and woodland tracks.

GravelKing R – Maximum Speed and Suppleness

The GravelKing R model is the performance-oriented variant of the popular Panaracer gravel series.

It features a subtle, low-profile tread pattern that minimizes rolling resistance and enables very fast rolling on hard surfaces.

Thanks to its optimized design, it is especially suited for fast-paced gravel racing, athletic training, and long endurance rides.

The tyre excels on asphalt, hard-packed gravel, dry dirt tracks, and firm forest paths.

TuffTex R – Exceptionally Light and Supple Construction

The standout feature of the GravelKing R is the TuffTex R technology, which represents the lightest and most supple version of the TuffTex casing.

The protective layer running bead-to-bead helps shield the tread and sidewalls from cuts and punctures.

A refined 120 TPI casing supports flexibility and allows the tyre to smoothly conform to minor road and trail imperfections.

The result is a remarkably plush ride feel, reduced rolling resistance, and superior comfort on long-distance outings.

ZSG Gravel Compound – Grip and Efficient Rolling

The tyre utilizes the ZSG Gravel Compound (Zero Slip Grip), formulated specifically for gravel cycling.

The compound is engineered to deliver low rolling resistance, dependable grip, and consistent performance across varying temperatures and weather conditions.

It helps sustain effortless rolling on paved roads while offering confident handling on gravel and solid unpaved surfaces.

Low-Profile Tread for Fast Gravel Courses

The GravelKing R features a finely structured, low-profile tread pattern.

This minimizes energy loss while rolling and promotes rapid acceleration and speed on firm terrain.

Compared to more aggressive gravel tyres, this model is best suited for predominantly dry and hard-packed conditions.

For deep mud, loose sand, or rough rocky surfaces, a tyre with a more aggressive tread pattern is recommended.

45 mm Width for Speed and Comfort

The 700 × 45C (ETRTO 45-622) dimension provides high air volume, effectively dampening road vibrations and impacts on rough gravel and coarse asphalt.

The 45 mm width promotes stable surface contact and allows fine-tuning of tyre pressure to match specific riding conditions.

This makes the tyre ideal not only for high-speed sport rides but also for demanding endurance gravel adventures where comfort is essential.

Ensure adequate frame and fork clearance before installation.

BeadLock – Reliable Rim Fitment

The BeadLock bead profile is specially developed to ensure secure, reliable seating on compatible rims.

It supports both traditional hooked rims and suitable Hookless rims.

BeadLock can also simplify tubeless setup, often allowing inflation with a standard workshop floor pump.

Tubeless Ready – Capable of Tubeless Operation

The RF745-GK-R-SX2 variant is built with Tubeless Ready technology.

When combined with a compatible rim, tubeless valve, and sealant, it allows for tubeless operation.

A tubeless setup helps seal small punctures automatically and allows lower air pressures tailored to rider weight, riding surface, and luggage load.

The tyre can also be run with a standard inner tube if desired.

The maximum inflation pressure for this variant is 400 kPa (approx. 4.0 bar / 60 PSI). Always observe the pressure limits specified by your rim manufacturer as well.

Folding Bead and Low Weight

The tyre features a folding aramid bead, making handling, storage, and transport effortless.

Weighing only around 430 g, it is remarkably lightweight for a 45 mm wide gravel tyre.

The Black/Amber colour combination pairs a black tread with amber sidewalls, giving your bike a classic and stylish look.
