The René Herse Barlow Pass tire is the perfect fit for most mountain bikes. We name our tires after the Cascade Mountain passes that inspired them: Barlow Pass is near the ghost town of Monte Cristo in the northern Cascades. Our Barlow Pass is the ideal tire for rides that combine equal portions of pavement and gravel: light enough to keep your bike feeling as nimble as a road bike, yet 38mm wide to give you incredible traction on and off pavement.
The soft casing of our Rene Herse all-terrain tires rolls smoothly over uneven surfaces. The tread pattern interlocks with the road surface for superior grip in corners, whether your roads are wet or dry. The tread has sufficient thickness in the center to last for many miles, but it is thin and flexible on the shoulders where it doesn't wear down.
