Why Do Gravel Racers Choose the GravelKing SS Plus TL?

The Panaracer GravelKing SS Plus TL combines the fast-rolling efficiency of the original Semi-Slick with added puncture protection for riders who push long miles over mixed and unpredictable terrain. The semi-slick center tread minimizes rolling resistance on hardpack and gravel two-tracks while the shoulder knobs provide confident cornering grip when you push into a turn. A reinforced Plus protection layer guards against the sharp rocks and debris that inevitably appear on gravel routes. At 700x40, it runs tubeless-ready on most modern gravel rims and pairs well with any quality sealant.

This is the tire for riders who spend most of their time on fast hardpack and gravel but need the reassurance of puncture protection when routes get rough or remote. The folding bead keeps weight down and makes installation easy, and Panaracer's tubeless-ready casing mounts quickly and holds air reliably. Made in Japan with attention to consistency and casing quality, the GravelKing SS Plus TL in 700x40 suits competitive gravel racers, fast club riders, and bikepacking adventurers who want speed without sacrificing peace of mind.

FAQ

What is the difference between the SS and SS Plus?

The SS Plus adds a puncture protection layer beneath the tread for added flat resistance on rough routes. The rolling feel and tread design are the same as the standard SS. If you ride remote or debris-heavy routes, the Plus is worth the slight weight addition.

Is the GravelKing SS Plus TL good for road riding?

Yes, the semi-slick center tread rolls efficiently on pavement and is a common choice for all-road bikes used on mixed routes that include significant tarmac. It is not a pure road tire, but it handles pavement connectors between gravel sections without penalizing your pace.

How does the SS Plus compare to the SK Plus?

The SS Plus prioritizes low rolling resistance on hardpack with shoulder knobs for cornering control. The SK Plus has more aggressive center tread for better traction in loose or technical conditions. If your rides are predominantly fast and dry, choose the SS Plus. For more mixed or technical terrain, go with the SK Plus.

Best For

Competitive gravel racers and fast all-road riders who want the lowest rolling resistance a gravel-appropriate tread can offer, with the peace of mind of puncture protection on mixed-surface routes that occasionally turn rough or remote.
