Great tires, fast rolling, quality ride.

Stuffed the largest size that would fit on my Specialized Turbo Vado SL and it rides like a dream. Fast rolling on asphalt and enough traction when on the light dirt/dusty roads.

As good as they say

Big fan. There are a lot of good online reviews and videos and these tires are in fact awesome. Soft, grippy, yet still fast. I hope they never discontinue them.

Got 1,500 miles out of the Pro

Just swapped out Pathfinder Pro after 1,500 miles for the S-works version. Raced on a set of Pro tires a few times this Spring with no issues and put over 1k miles of training rides on them. The Pro on the rear got a small slice right on the smooth center section that would sadly never completely seal. Got tired of refilling sealant and wiping off sealant from frame and the back of my jersey after rides. Typical training rides are rugged and over sections with large sharp rock so not surprised the rear tire only lasted 1,500 miles. Let’s’ see how the S-Works version compares!

Great tire!

This tire is exactly what I need. I ride rough paved and some gravel. This tire rolls nicely and is fast and responsive. Not sure how it would do on a pure gravel ride, but for my needs its great. It's also quieter on my trainer.

The Best Gravel Tires I've Ridden
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- 700x32
- Weight:

I've now ridden all three sizes of the Pathfinder Pro – 700*42, 700*38, and, most recently, 700*32. They all roll really fast and I have never flatted on them. I've ridden them tubeless and with tubes, mostly for training but also for events and races. I currently have wheels with the 42's and a matching set with the 32's and I swap them regularly. The 42's are wide and can really go anywhere – they're just enough bigger than the 38's to make it worth putting them on for extra assurance in rougher gravel and singletrack. I most recently rode the 700*42's at the Vermont Overland without any problems – they handled the class 4 roads with relative ease. They're fast on roads and reassuring on trails. They inflate to 42mm wide exactly on "gravel-specific" rims and have not gotten wider after a year of riding them. The 700*32: Wow – these are awesome! I got them as soon as they were released and they are perfect for that sweet-spot of mixed road riding and lighter dirt roads and gravel trails. They feel a lot faster than the 42's, which I really like for rides when I'm mixing paved and dirt roads or when I'm riding a lot of paved to get to dirt roads. While the 38's and 42's are close to each other, the 32's feel much faster on the road and on trail. I think the quickness comes from them being noticeably lighter and maybe more aero. It's enough of a difference to make swapping wheels worthwhile. They inflate to 32mm on gravel rims after a few months of riding them, making them perfect for cyclocross frames, too. I think that all sizes of tire are one of the best value out there, too.

I put the 700 x 42 on for BWR Asheville due to mix of gravel and road and couldn't have been happier with the performance. Ran them tubeless at 38 rear and 36 front. Really pleased.

Fast on pavement, sketchy on gravel
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:
- 700c 42 mm
Setting up tubeless was easy with a floor pump and they didn't leak any air, even without sealant. They roll fast on pavement and when going in a straight line on gravel. But careful in the turns when on gravel. Even with the 42 mm wide tires at 32 psi (on a rim with 25 mm internal width) these tires will slide. 31 to 33 psi is recommended by the Zipp pressure guide. I also think the prominent solid center tread makes the transition from going straight to leaned into a turn a little abrupt. Unless rides are mostly pavement, with a little gravel, this will make for a better commuter tire than an adventure tire.

Fast & Smooth

- 38mm
I'm a roadie that uses a gravel bike as my all-round, go-to bike. I typically ride 80% pavement, 20% gravel. This Pathfinder (120 TPI) is noticeably faster and smoother than my 60 TPI tires. Although I've been very happy with 60 TPI, the Pathfinder takes it to the next level of comfort along with less rolling resistance. Thanks to Jonathan, CCs gearhead, for his spot-on recommendation based on my pavement/gravel style.
