Tyre PANARACER GravelKing SS Plus 700 × 28C – TuffTex+, ZSG Gravel, Folding, Black/Black (RF728-GKSS-P-B2)

The PANARACER GravelKing SS Plus 700 × 28C Black/Black is a high-performance semi-slick tyre designed for riders who demand fast rolling on asphalt, confidence on light gravel, and enhanced puncture protection. It combines a fast central tread with pronounced side lugs and a reinforced TuffTex+ casing.

Featuring the ZSG Gravel Compound, a 120 TPI casing, and a folding bead, it is an ideal choice for road and all-road bikes, fast gravel rides, long training sessions, and daily athletic use.

GravelKing SS Plus – Speed and Enhanced Protection

The GravelKing SS Plus (Semi-Slick Plus) model builds on the popular GravelKing SS semi-slick pattern while adding reinforced puncture protection.

It is designed for cyclists who want to maintain efficient rolling on paved roads while gaining extra durability when navigating rough surfaces, gravel, and dirt roads.

The Plus edition is particularly well-suited for long-distance endurance rides where reliability and minimizing flat tyres are paramount.

Semi-Slick Tread – Fast Rolling Center and Confident Cornering

The center of the tread features a subtle diamond pattern that ensures minimal rolling resistance on asphalt and hard-packed unpaved paths.

More pronounced shoulder knobs are placed along the sides to improve grip when leaning into turns and help maintain control on loose gravel.

This combination strikes a balanced compromise between the swift speed of a road tyre and the traction needed for light gravel sectors.

TuffTex+ – Reinforced Puncture Protection

The hallmark of this model is the TuffTex+ technology, utilizing a dual-layer puncture defense to resist cuts and punctures from bead to bead.

This protective shield safeguards both the tread and the sidewalls against sharp stones and road debris.

The supple 120 TPI casing delivers a comfortable ride quality and smooth rolling performance despite the reinforced barrier.

ZSG Gravel Compound – Grip and Rolling Efficiency

The tyre incorporates the advanced ZSG Gravel Compound (Zero Slip Grip), formulated specifically for gravel riding.

It is engineered to blend low rolling resistance, dependable cornering grip, and long-lasting tread wear.

It ensures consistent handling characteristics across varying temperatures and delivers stable control on asphalt and hardpack dirt.

700 × 28C Size for Fast Riding

The 700 × 28C (ETRTO 28-622) dimension is well suited for modern endurance road and all-road bicycles.

A 28 mm width offers an optimal balance of low rolling resistance, sharp handling, and vibration damping on paved roads.

It easily handles smooth gravel sections and packed dirt roads. For deep mud, loose sand, or rocky terrain, wider tyres with more aggressive tread patterns are recommended.

Tubetype – Classic Tube-Type Construction

The RF728-GKSS-P-B2 variant is designed specifically for use with a standard inner tube.

This tyre is NOT Tubeless Ready. Panaracer offers tubeless compatibility in the GravelKing SS Plus range starting from 700 × 30C.

The tube-type design ensures straightforward installation, simple maintenance, and quick tube changes in the event of a flat.

Folding Bead and Sleek All-Black Finish

Equipped with a lightweight folding bead, this tyre is easy to pack, transport, and install.

Its nominal weight of 350 g reflects its reinforced, heavy-duty puncture protection system.

The Black/Black styling pairs a black tread with matching black sidewalls for a clean, classic, and sporty look on any bike.
