René Herse 700Cx44 Corkscrew Climb Deck

Description

The Standard casing is our most affordable option: comfortable and fast, yet robust enough to withstand heavy use. The Extralight casing takes your bike's performance, comfort, and feel to a whole new level. The Endurance casing is reinforced for greater sidewall protection and puncture resistance, while maintaining the speed and comfort that define René Herse tires. The Endurance Plus casing offers maximum sidewall protection for extremely challenging conditions. Professional racers asked us for a semi-slick tire that combined the speed of our slicks with the grip of our knobby tires. They didn't want a conventional semi-slick, but one with the same rounded profile as our other René Herse tires, for predictable cornering grip at all times, whether on a muddy gravel track or a descent with ultra-fast corners. So we reinvented the semi-slick tire. It took three years of research and development, resulting in three new patents. The Corkscrew Climb semi-slick takes its name from the biggest climb in the SBT GRVL race in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Instead of using separate areas with different tread patterns, the slick tread gradually transitions into the side knobs, providing better and more predictable grip when cornering. The first row of knobs is anchored to the center tread for added stiffness, ensuring superior traction under extreme power, crucial when sprinting or standing up and rocking the bike from side to side. The knobs are designed with our proprietary noise-canceling technology, making this tire incredibly quiet for a gravel tire. The innovations don't stop there: the tread radius is larger than the casing radius, creating a tire that corners like a much wider one. This innovation also allows us to make the center tread thin and flexible for ultra-low rolling resistance, while the tall side knobs provide excellent traction when the tire digs into the surface.
