PANARACER GravelKing SK 700 × 45C Tyre – Limited Edition 2026, TuffTex, ZSG Gravel, Tubeless Ready, British Racing Green/Black (F745-GKSK-BRG-B2)

PANARACER GravelKing SK 700 × 45C British Racing Green/Black is a versatile gravel tyre from the Limited Color Edition 2026, developed for riders demanding dependable traction, outstanding comfort, and puncture resistance on unpaved surfaces. The signature Small Knob (SK) tread pattern ensures confident grip on gravel, loose stones, dirt roads, and moderately challenging off-road conditions.

The distinctive combination of a dark British Racing Green tread and black sidewalls provides a unique, elegant aesthetic. Modern technologies including TuffTex 120 TPI, ZSG Gravel Compound, BeadLock, and Tubeless Ready deliver an optimal balance of rolling performance, ride quality, and puncture defense.

GravelKing SK – Reliable Traction on Unpaved Surfaces

The GravelKing SK (Small Knob) features a proven tread pattern with closely spaced, low-profile blocks designed to enhance traction across gravel and unpaved terrain.

The knob layout supports smooth and efficient rolling on hard-packed surfaces while delivering the necessary bite during acceleration and braking.

Shoulder knobs help maintain cornering control and stability, especially on loose, uneven ground.

Compared to the semi-slick GravelKing SS, the SK variant offers a more aggressive tread pattern, making it ideal for routes with a higher share of rough, unpaved surfaces.

ZSG Gravel Compound – Grip and Low Rolling Resistance

The tyre uses Panaracer's proprietary ZSG Gravel Compound (Zero Slip Grip), specially formulated for gravel riding.

Its formulation is engineered to achieve a balance between superior grip, low rolling resistance, and long-lasting durability.

The compound retains consistent physical properties across varied temperatures, providing dependable handling on different surfaces.

TuffTex – Supple Casing with Bead-to-Bead Puncture Protection

The TuffTex casing combines a flexible, high-density carcass with an integrated puncture protection layer.

Continuous bead-to-bead protection safeguards both the tread and sidewalls against cuts and punctures caused by sharp stones and trail debris.

The 120 TPI casing delivers a supple ride, conforming smoothly to terrain irregularities to optimize comfort and traction.

TuffTex offers the ideal balance of durability, low weight, and ride smoothness for regular gravel riding and touring.

45 mm Width – Stability and Comfort

The 700 × 45C (ETRTO 45-622) size delivers ample air volume, smoothing out rough gravel, rocky trails, and broken tarmac.

At proper tyre pressures, the 45 mm width effectively absorbs vibrations and small trail bumps.

Higher volume enhances ground contact, promoting stability and confidence on long gravel rides and loaded adventures.

Compatible with gravel and adventure bikes offering sufficient frame and fork clearance.

BeadLock – Secure Rim Engagement

The BeadLock rim interface features an engineered bead shape that supports easy mounting and dependable seating on modern rims.

It is fully compatible with both traditional hooked rims and modern hookless rims.

This design also facilitates tubeless installation while maintaining a secure tyre fit during rigorous riding.

Tubeless Ready – Ride Without Tubes

The F745-GKSK-BRG-B2 model is equipped with Tubeless Ready (TLR) technology.

When used with compatible rims, tubeless valves, and sealant, it allows for reliable operation without inner tubes.

Tubeless setups seal small punctures instantly and allow lower tyre pressures for enhanced comfort and improved grip based on rider weight and trail conditions.

The tyre can also be used with standard inner tubes if desired.

Maximum pressure for this width is 400 kPa, approximately 4.0 bar (60 PSI). Always observe the maximum pressure limits specified by your rim manufacturer.

British Racing Green/Black Limited Edition 2026

The British Racing Green/Black colorway is a special release for the 2026 Panaracer GravelKing limited lineup.

The rich, dark green tread inspired by iconic motorsport heritage is complemented by stealthy black sidewalls.

The result is a distinctive, premium look that enhances any modern gravel build.
