Ever thought there weren't enough colour choices for your bike tyres? Well, Panaracer now has you covered.
Panaracer has released its Gravel King tyre in two new vivid colours, Honey Butter and Cranberry, with the option of black or brown sidewalls.
I can’t say I've ever thought I needed more vividness from my tyre choice, but I'm warming to the Cranberry and tanwall option, which might be a good fit for my Cannondale Topstone.
Why Honey Butter and Cranberry?
Panaracer has released a range of brightly coloured gravel tyres in the past, including purple, orange and green options.
The company has provided rationales for its 2025 colours, which reference their food-y roots.
"Honey Butter brings warmth and charm to any ride. Inspired by the golden richness of churned butter with a touch of honey and the soft glow of afternoon light. This creamy hue adds a timeless, refined look that stands out and brings a unique blend of comfort and sophistication," Panaracer says.
It says the Cranberry option "draws inspiration from the rich, deep hue of freshly picked berries. Evoking a sense of adventure from the vividness of the natural world".
"Cranberry is perfect for riders who want their bike to stand out on city streets or rugged trails," Panaracer adds.
Tread options
The Honey Butter and Cranberry tyres are available in four tread patterns: Gravel King Slick; Gravel King SS; Gravel King SK; and Panaracer's latest Gravel King X1 tread.
Panaracer says the X1 is the fastest-ever GravelKing tyre and that it's an homage to the tyre's 10th anniversary, featuring "cutting-edge technology".
"This next-generation tyre aims to surpass its predecessors by delivering unparalleled performance, boasting low rolling resistance, puncture resistance, and a supremely smooth riding experience," Panaracer says.
The tyres will be available in 700x40c or 700x45c and cost £54.99 / $64.99.
