What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I wanted a simple, bombproof gravel setup for loaded bikepacking-Touareg 700x50 Tubetype nailed it. Big volume smooths washboard, the small-block tread stays fast on pavement, and it still finds bite on dusty fire roads. Wire bead, tube in, ride all week."We reach for the Touareg 700x50 Tubetype when the route blurs from tarmac to timber roads to forgotten two-track. The generous 50mm casing brings plush comfort and stability under bags, while the tightly packed, low-profile center rolls efficiently on pavement. Step into the shoulders and the more pronounced small blocks deliver dependable cornering grip on dry hardpack and loose-over-hard. Built with a durable 33 TPI wire-bead carcass and a long-wearing mono-compound tread, it's the low-maintenance, long-mileage tire we trust for commuting, trekking, and multi-day gravel adventures.
