Panaracer has unveiled the GravelKing ZX, a semi-slick tire engineered for speed across diverse terrains. This latest addition to their GravelKing lineup is tailored for riders seeking a balance between low rolling resistance and reliable grip on mixed-surface routes.<\/p>\n
Innovative Tread Design<\/strong><\/p>\n The GravelKing ZX features a distinctive three-zone tread pattern:<\/p>\n Centre Tread<\/strong>: A smooth surface designed to minimize rolling resistance on paved roads and dry hardpack gravel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Transitional Tread<\/strong>: Located on the inner edge, this tread engages during braking and cornering, providing stability and control.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Outer Edge Lugs<\/strong>: Aggressive side lugs offer enhanced traction in loose gravel corners and technical descents.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This design ensures the ZX maintains speed where it matters most while delivering the feel and confidence gravel riders expect. (bikeradar.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n Advanced Materials and Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n The ZX utilizes Panaracer’s proprietary ZSG Gravel compound, offering a balance of low rolling resistance, durability, and predictable ride characteristics. The tire also incorporates TuffTex protection, a closely woven material that resists cuts and punctures, and BeadLock technology, ensuring compatibility with both hookless and hooked rims. (bikeradar.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n Sizing and Availability<\/strong><\/p>\n Initially, the GravelKing ZX is available in 700c sizes of 45mm and 50mm, with other sizes (and additional versions) to follow throughout 2026. The ZX is offered in Black\/Black or Black\/Brown, with the ZX version priced at $64.99.
