PANARACER RACE A EVO3

£39.99 (per tyre) Panaracer has over 50 years of experience producing high performance cycling tyres and the Race A Evo3 is its all-rounder offering. The tyres are said to incorporate ZSG dual compounds to provide high grip in all weather conditions, while the fight against punctures is led by Protite Shield technology. Unlike some ‘all-rounder’ tyres, which struggle to maintain performance when seeking to improve durability, the Race A Evo 3 rolled well and had good grip. The 23mm testtyres mounted easily to several different wheelsets and, although many riders now opt for wider tyres, there’s no noticeable performance negative. In short,the Evo 3s are unquestionably reliable and versatile tyres.
