Fast gravel speed meets confident traction. The Rene Herse Corkscrew Climb 700×44 mm tire combines the efficiency of a slick tread with the bite of cornering knobs — perfect for mixed routes that blend paved roads, hardpack gravel, and loose terrain. Designed with three years of development and patent‑pending tread innovations, it answers serious riders’ demand for a semi‑slick that actually performs where others compromise.
Speed‑Focused Semi‑Slick Design
A continuous center tread with file pattern ensures low rolling resistance and confident braking on hard surfaces, while the smooth transition to side knobs gives you traction when you need it most — through turns, climbs, and unstable surfaces.
Anchored Side Knobs for Traction
Large side knobs are anchored to the center tread for increased stiffness and traction under power — ideal for sprinting, climbing out of the saddle, or leaning deep in a gravel corner.
Noise‑Canceling Knob Layout
Thoughtfully staggered knob patterns reduce reverberation for a quieter ride — so the Corkscrew Climb feels smooth and fast until you need the extra grip.
Versatile All‑Condition Performance
Tubeless ready and compatible with a wide range of rims (17–28 mm inner width), this tire flourishes on hardpack, mixed surfaces, and gravel races alike.
Standard – Versatile, comfortable, and fast for everyday all‑road riding.
Extralight – Ultra‑supple for minimal rolling resistance and maximum comfort.
Endurance – Reinforced casing and puncture protection for rough terrain.
Endurance Plus – Maximum sidewall protection for harsh conditions.
If you’re a gravel adventurer or race‑oriented rider who wants slick‑like speed without sacrificing traction in loose corners, the Corkscrew Climb is a perfect upgrade — especially on bikes that see a mix of pavement and unpaved roads.
