FAQ

Does my gravel bike have clearance for a 700x45 tire?

Most modern gravel bikes are designed for 700x40 to 700x50, but actual clearance depends on your specific frame and fork. Always check your manufacturer's maximum tire width specification before ordering. Tire brands also measure widths differently, so a 700x45 may measure slightly wider or narrower depending on your rim internal width.

Should I choose the 700x45 or 700x40 GravelKing SK?

If your bike has the clearance, the 700x45 delivers more volume for better comfort on rough terrain and lower optimal tubeless pressures. The 700x40 is a better fit for bikes with tighter clearance or riders who prioritize a snappier, slightly faster-rolling feel. Both sizes use the same SK tread pattern.

Is the GravelKing SK TL a good bikepacking tire?

Yes, the SK TL is a popular bikepacking choice. The semi-knob tread handles the varied terrain of multi-day routes well, and the tubeless-ready casing pairs well with sealant for added flat resistance on remote stretches. The 700x45 size offers enough volume for comfort with loaded bags.

Best For

Riders on gravel bikes with generous tire clearance who want maximum comfort and control on mixed terrain, from long gravel events to multi-day bikepacking routes where the surface changes every few miles.
