The Panaracer Closer Plus Folding Road Tyre merges cutting-edge technology with exceptional durability to deliver a tyre that elevates your cycling experience. Designed with a puncture protective layer four times stronger than Kevlar, this tyre ensures you spend more time riding and less time repairing. Its ZSG Natural rubber compound not only offers superb grip but also guarantees long-lasting reliability, making it an ideal choice for both training and competitive rides.
With the same high-performance tread pattern found in Panaracer’s RACE series, the Closer Plus strikes the perfect balance between speed and safety. The All Contact Tread Shape enhances grip during cornering and braking, providing confident handling in varied conditions. Lightweight yet robust, this tyre reduces rolling resistance by 12% and sheds 40g compared to its predecessor, giving you a smoother and faster ride without compromising on strength.
Engineered in Japan with precision craftsmanship, the Closer Plus Folding Road Tyre features a PR Puncture Resistant Belt beneath the tread. This innovative belt combines strength and lightness, effectively preventing flats while maintaining optimal performance. Available in the popular 700 x 25c size and weighing only 220g, it’s the perfect upgrade for cyclists seeking a reliable, high-quality tyre that performs day after day.
Is the Closer Plus suitable for racing?
Yes, it uses the same tread pattern as Panaracer’s RACE series, providing excellent grip and performance for competitive cycling.
How does the PR Puncture Resistant Belt work?
The belt is a lightweight, strong fibre layer beneath the tread that significantly reduces the risk of punctures without adding unnecessary weight.
