“Getaway is the best choice for riders who enjoy a wide variety of roads. The tight knob pattern has terrific rolling resistance and almost velcro-like dry traction in sandy turns and on surfaces all the way up to champagne gravel. Getaway works best in dry to tacky conditions – anywhere the fast tread can grab clean dirt it’s a great choice.”

RECOMMENDATION: Our most popular gravel tire is designed to handle hardpack, intermediate gravel, and firm to loose dirt – in other words, many of the conditions you might face every day. This is the tire that should be the first choice for races or big rides, only switching if the course is quite wet or rocky with chunky gravel.

Easy-Fit Shape

A new moulding process pre-forms the tire for easier installation and inflation. The gently rounded easy-fit shape remains clear of the rim channel, simplifying mounting of the second bead.
