Review: Specialized S-Works Pathfinder 2Bliss Ready - great set of tyres, just steer away from wet mud cycling iamspecialized
When you're riding in a straight line, that smooth centre line is all that contacts the ground, and as a result the tyres deliver impressively low rolling resistance. As my gravel rides often involve a fair bit of tarmac to get to and from the off-road sections, I was very grateful for this, and it really does feel as fast as a wide slick tyre.
But there is a flip side: if things get wet then this tyre probably isn't the one for you. Thanks to the Pathfinder's slick centre, the tyres slip about, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence. When I first saw the tyres, I was worried that the reduction in weight may have drastically reduced the tyre's robustness, especially as Specialized says it has 'reduced the volume of rubber used to reduce rolling resistance and shave weight'.
Having now put in roughly 2,000km on the tyres I was quite impressed to have only met the puncture fairy once. That good performance could have been helped by Specialized's Black Belt puncture protection, which runs under the entire tread.Are they the most robust tyre out there? No, but are they stupidly fragile? In my experience, also no.
