Rene Herse 700x28 Chinook Pass Extralight Blk

The Chinook Pass is designed for cyclists who want to experience the legendary comfort and speed of a high-performance, supple road tire. Named after the high-altitude passes in the Cascade Mountains, this tire is built to handle everything from smooth valley-floor tarmac to the rugged roads found above the treeline. Rene Herse finds that the thin and flexible casing allows the tire to roll smoothly over surface irregularities, effectively absorbing road vibration and maintaining momentum.

The tread pattern is engineered to interlock with the road surface, providing superior cornering grip in both wet and dry conditions. While the shoulders remain thin and supple to enhance ride quality, the center tread is thick enough to last for thousands of miles of adventure. This intentional design ensures that the tire remains incredibly responsive without sacrificing the longevity needed for long distance touring or daily training blocks.

Rene Herse offers this tire in multiple casing options to suit your specific riding style and budget. The Standard casing serves as a durable and affordable entry point that can withstand considerable abuse, while the Extralight casing takes performance and road feel to an entirely new level of comfort. To achieve the best possible performance, Rene Herse recommends pairing these tires with their specialized TPU tubes for a setup that is as fast as it is reliable.
