• They feel like they roll a lot faster. But, different wheels (very different rims), different wheel sizes, tubeless vs non-tubeless etc. Feel less dead to me.

    On a personal level I just really don't like Jan Heine either, so I will not support RH. I only have RH tyres because they came on the Stumpy when I bought it.

  • My Ultradynamico Mars JFFs (27.5 x 2.3, super-knobby) feel way faster than the GravelKing SKs (27.5 x 2.1, semi-knobby) that I had on my Ritchey before. Both ran tubeless with the same sealant. I initially viewed UD as hypebeast nonsense, but they've proved to be genuinely good (but expensive) tyres.

  • Yeah, I am intrigued as to how their Race models ride, cause these already feel great. But they do be pricey. Though tbf, I only ride the Crust on like two shortish rides a week so I expect they'll last a long time.

  • TBF the Gravel King are probably the most lacklustre tyres in term of feel and ride quality.

    A 300g 38mm GK slick felt way slower than a 42mm Hetres that’s heavier and bigger.
