TECHNICAL SPECS
Rene Herse tires combine the performance of high-end tubular tires with the convenience of clincher. The supple casings roll smoothly over surface irregularities. The knobs are large enough so they don’t squirm, yet they are spaced far enough to clear mud. All models feature:
- Clincher, folding bead
- Tubeless-compatible
- Maximum pressure with tubes: 75 psi (5.2 bar)
- Maximum recommended pressure – tubeless: 60 psi (4 bar)
- Actual width on 20 mm rim (internal): approx. 42 mm
- Actual width on 23 mm rim (internal): approx. 43 mm
- Extralight casing: +1 mm width

- Recommended rim: 17 – 31 mm (inner width; hookless: +1 mm)
- Made in Japan

I first bought a set of Rene Herse Steilacoom Pass 700x38c Extralight tyres off you last December. I was so amazed by their low rolling resistance and amazing traction that I’ve subsequently bought a set of the ‘Standard’ sidewall Steilacooms for my son in law in Melbourne and this set of Hurricane Ridge Endurance tyres (same profile but 42mm wide) for my new gravel bike. I’ve only had one ride with the Hurricane Pass tyres (slow trans-Tasman postal service!!), but they are everything I expected after using the Steilacooms. The big feature of note from last night’s ride is that they offer very secure traction on soft muddy corners with loss of traction happening in a predictable and controllable way.

Lots of grip, not too heavy. Work well tubeless.
