Improved casing and EVO2 compound improve this light weight high performance tire made for hill climbing and TT. Outstanding light race day tire also. ZSG Dual compound works in all conditions giving grip and feel no matter what the weather. Superfine AX Casing is the perfect blend of suppleness and toughness to help ward off cuts and flats. Combines with the PT Belt under the tread this is one tough light tire.700 x 23c with black sidewall700 x 25c with black sidewallRoad CC reviewThe ‘L’ in Panaracer Race Type L is for ‘light’. Panaracer bill this as a lightweight high performance road tyre and at a claimed 185g (191g on our scales) it lives up to its name. Lighter means less rubber and so more risk of punctures though the suggested use is for short races such as hill climbs and TTs where puncturing is less likely. There is however some protection in the form of Panaracer’s ‘PT belt’. And with the tyres mounted on my bike for a month I have yet to suffer a flat. Anyone who tests tyres knows that the puncture gods are fickle but perhaps the PT (‘puncture technology’) protection is doing its job. To save weight the reinforcement runs only under the tread rather than bead to bead as on the Race Type A and other models. Panaracer claim that the 126TPI AX casing is the perfect balance between suppleness and toughness. It does have that grippy-soft compound feel common to the upper echelons of bike rubber. The tread is uniform around the contact area and has a slight low-profile roughness. The tyres couldn’t have come for testing at a better time given the great weather recently. The Type L’s soft compound inspires confidence when cornering and it rolls quickly on sunny clear roads. That’s not to say it would slide all over the place with a cloud in the sky but I wouldn’t fancy such a light tyre during the early spring hedge cutting or when the lanes are back to their mucky autumn state. But then that isn’t part of its job description. At aroundฃ35 it is at the Michelin Pro 3 or Continental GP4000 price point and it’s a good race-day alternative to either of them. The ~15g weight saving that it offers over the competitors could be the tipping point. For those wanting to save every last gramme on their race whippet it could just be the tyre of choice. VerdictIf you’re looking for a lightweight tyre that won’t puncture every ride you won’t go far wrong with the Panaracer Type L
