Panaracer Closer Plus | Road Tire with Both Lightness and Puncture Resistance

"Light and enjoyable riding" made more accessible. A high-balance tire that's easy to use for everything from training to city riding.

The Panaracer Closer Plus is a lightweight mid-range road tire developed with the concept of "making light riding more casual."

In addition to the nimble performance of the base model "CLOSER," it is equipped with the "PR Belt" anti-puncture belt. It strikes a high-level balance between lightness and puncture resistance, making it a model suitable for everyday use.

Its main appeal is its light rolling resistance, allowing you to enjoy a nimble ride whether you're commuting, city riding, or on a weekend road ride. It's also an easy choice for those replacing road bike tires for the first time, and it's perfect for those who want to "slightly improve the ride from their stock tires."

Furthermore, the use of a folding bead contributes to its lightweight design. At approximately 220g for the 700x25C and around 240g for the 700x28C, it's easy to handle and allows you to fully experience the nimble feel characteristic of a road bike.

With a good balance of durability, lightness, and price, this versatile tire is ideal for training and road bikes used primarily for city riding.
