Pretty unreal puncture resistance and the rolling resistance isn't horrible. Basically halfway between a GP4000 SII and a Gatorskin for crr but with better puncture protection than the Gatorskin.

Edit: and it’s tubeless. You’ll have to work to kill this tire.


Meh...puncture resistance is over-rated for gravel duty IMHO...and I've been known to "gravel" with tires with pretty light casings and in rocky, single-track conditions, and I have yet to suffer a straight puncture off-road. The only issue I've had is a sidewall cut on a Compass Extra-light casing tire, which is a big reason I recommend the standard casing over the ELs on those.

Might be ok for a commuter tire though...that said, if running tubeless, it's easy enough to just plug a puncture sealant alone won't handle.
