{"product_id":"650b-48mm-tc-switchback-hill-endurance","title":"Rene Herse 650B x 48 mm TC Switchback Hill Endurance","description":"Inspired by the legendary Oregon Outback and named after the first climb of that epic 360-mile gravel ride\/race, the Switchback Hill is the world’s lightest, fastest and most comfortable ultra-wide 650B tire. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e On the Oregon Outback route, the gravel is quite loose in places, and the extra flotation of the Switchback Hills gives you more speed and security when the going gets really rough. 30% of the Oregon Outback is on pavement, so we designed this tire to roll as fast and grip as well as a good racing tire. The tread has enough thickness in the center to last many miles, but it’s thin and supple on the shoulders where it doesn’t wear. With this tire, you truly have the best of both worlds.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In their 2024 Buyer’s Guide, road.cc rated the Switchback Hill the “Best 650B road bike tyre.” They wrote: “At just 412g per tyre; the extralight casing is super supple and soaks up tarmac miles with no obvious penalty over something much, much narrower. Just be prepared for a few funny looks from your thin-tyre counterparts as you keep up just fine.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Endurance casing is reinforced for extra sidewall protection and puncture resistance, while retaining the speed and comfort for which Rene Herse tires are famous.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Clincher, folding bead\u003cbr\u003e Tubeless-compatible\u003cbr\u003e ISO size: 48 - 584 mm\u003cbr\u003e Recommended rim: 17-30 mm (inner width), hookless or with hooks\u003cbr\u003e Maximum pressure with tubes: 55 psi (3.8 bar)\u003cbr\u003e Maximum recommended pressure – tubeless: 55 psi (3.8 bar)\u003cbr\u003e Actual width on 20 mm rim (internal): approx. 49 mm\u003cbr\u003e Actual width on 23 mm rim (internal): approx. 50 mm\u003cbr\u003e Extralight casing: +1 mm width\u003cbr\u003e Tubeless: +0.5 mm width\u003cbr\u003e Made in Japan\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Endurance casing\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The same ultra-fine threads as our Extralight casing, but in a denser, stronger weave\u003cbr\u003e Protective belt under sidewalls and tread\u003cbr\u003e Ideal for rough gravel and tough conditions\u003cbr\u003e Dark tan sidewalls\u003cbr\u003e 520 g\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rene Herse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59354181108057,"sku":"RHS-TR-RF650B48TCAXCPGK-DTNW","price":800.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/3303\/9193\/files\/rene-herse_switchback_hill_endurance.jpg?v=1788990073","url":"https:\/\/cyclecopenhagen.dk\/en\/products\/650b-48mm-tc-switchback-hill-endurance","provider":"Cycle \u0026 Co Copenhagen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
