Have not seen it anywhere else and wondering.

Per the Panaracer catalog, I only see a 700x32 Gravel King slick (https://www.panaracer.com/lineup/gravel.html).

[eBAUMANN]

nah i think only the SK comes in 35/40.

there is a "slick" 32c tire though.

If there was they'd sell the ****outthem! I'm running the 32's now on rollers just bc I'm too lazy to break down a great tubeless seal. I think they're gonna be fantastic for what I do with the mr pink. Reviews to come after real road rides.

I have a couple Panaracer knobby 700 x 32's and like them. i recently bought a couple Panaracer smooth 700 x 32's and mounted them. They were skinnier than my Continental GP2000's 700 x 28's. I was hoping for heaven and was handed disappointment. I sent them back. I still want some thin, fat, relatively light, but still flat resistent tires for mt IF all 'rounder.

I am riding smooth 32 mm Gravel Kings on A23 rims and I'd bet they measure just that...32mm. Interesting to note if the web does not lie that Compass Stampede Pass weigh 291 grams and the Gravels weigh 320 grams. My guess is that the extra 30 grams are YOUR flat protection.

I don't think the Panaracers are "fast" but ride pretty smooth and with 50 psi in the front and 60 psi in the rear they sure do wonders to crap roads.

I have recently installed Conti 4000S x 28 mm on my fast road bike. According to this test:

http://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/specials/conti-gp4000s-ii-23-25-28

they weigh in at 267 grams and measure a whopping 31mm. That's only 13 grams heavier than Stampede Pass Extra Lights. I find them fast, floaty, and supposedly with quite decent flat protection

Confusing, I just purchased and mounted a pair of Gravel Kings SK's in 35c, catalog only lists 40c's. In fact, the reason I went with the 35's over the 40's was based on a review on Gravelcyclist I believe.

Is it just running changes in production?

To have a set of smooth Gravel Kings in 35c and TUBELESS would be heaven.

[zennmotion]

Did y'all forget about Paselas that have been on the market, like, forever? OK they aren't tubeless, but aren't these pretty much smooth GKs?

Compass Jon Bon Pass tires are made in the Panaracer factory and look almost identical to the GK slicks. They are also tubeless. I love mine.

I just got a set of these bon jons in the standard casing and holy balls the casing is nice. A considerable step up from the gravel king 120tpi tire. Very much looking forward to comparing the two

Yeah, they Jan really knows a thing or two about designing nice tires. I love my Bon Jon's.

Yes, the BonJons are a delight to ride. I've had one problem with them, which was that they made me think a 35c tire was about 38.5mm across! I got hold of several other pairs of 35s and they were WAY smaller, smaller than I want to use.

Luckily I could unload 'em here on the Paceline. But that's NO EXCUSE! These tire manufacturers got to get their act together!

Aside from that, though, the BonJons are heaven. Regarding what Hank said about smooth tires on rough surfaces -- I've ridden them on areas of large-ish crushed granite and they behaved quite well.

I dunno, I have tires on my MTB that are marked 3.5" but only measure about 2.7". A couple of mm doesn't seem so bad! haha.

[cachagua]

*Gawd*. That's worse.

Those elastic suspenders printed like yardsticks, that were a fishing joke years ago... is that what tire designers wear, I wonder.

Or, different tire factories are traveling at different speeds, so a millimeter in one isn't the same as a millimeter in another... yeah, that's the ticket.

*update*

I received the SK version in the mail. Was hoping for 35c slicks, I guess they really don't exist.

I'm actually waiting for those in the mail from amazon... I haven't seen the slicks in 35c anywhere as well.

Ill update when I get it, should be sometime this week.
