IRC Boken Gravel Bike Tire Review: "Mega Grip for Serious Extreme Gravel Riding"??

[@chriskalberg6356]

I just put 42x650b on my Kona rove and absolutely love them. Very speedy on both tarmac and gravel.

Their performance really surprised me, a very underrated tyre.

The IRC Boken Plus (650x42b) has done well for me on tarmac, concrete, gravel, dirt/sand and grass. They are taking a beating but holding up well.

I use specialized renegade control tubeless. They are amazing on gravel and other conditions. I might order myself some of those tires to try. I like wide tires on wide rim. I run nukeproof horizon v2 30mm inner tubeless.

I enjoy all of the options nowadays. When I first started this madness in 2006, there was one tyre, that we converted to run tubeless; the Michelin Jet clincher.

IRC Yeti Geoclaw from bitd sell for big bucks nowadays. Had some in the early 90s, a proper tyre brand like Panaracer.

Been running the 36mm tubeless on a mix of road/greenways/gravel, I like them quite a bit and no issues with flats !! Fast tire that measures closer to 38 mm than 36

Love when you score free tyre width 😄

I loved these tyres on my gravel bike but they rode a tad too wider for my frame than expected. They were nice and soft to ride on though.
