Wanna know the info but ur B roll just keeps rolling and rolling.

That vulpine S tyre is just a copy of the Teravail Washburn 🤷🏻♂️ 🫣
The thumbnail is about some new gravel tyres, till minute 8 I have seen everything but anything about gravel tyres..
SRAM set ups all around? Another gravel trend worth exploring (I endorse your choices, btw 😊)
Specialized Pathfinder: "WTB, I am your father!"

The continuous middlestrip does not serve a better rolling resistance rather it leads to better durability and longer lifetime.
Can’t help thinking you could have come up with a better title for the video. The title suggests a 19 minute tyre review but it is way more entertaining than that.
Conti Race Kings would like to have a word with you.
Thanks for the tyre review and sharing the event. I really enjoyed the video. Awesome!
I've been riding the 700×47 Specialized Pathfinder Pro Gravel tire at 26psi and I would be happy to go even wider with a 700×56 (29×2.2) Pathfinder at 20-22psi.
Excellent video all my favourite Bike radar people except for Tom , I will have to give those tyres a try down here in Australia
Nothing transformed my gravel rides like when I switched from flimsy gravel tires to some 2.1 thunder burts and going down to 1.6bar. The comfort and grip add up in the long run and I have never been that fast for so long before
Look at all the people in the comments complaining about a new Gravel Diaries! Loved it.
There was maybe ONE take in the entire video where those tires were objectively useful and faster than fully treaded gravel tires. Guys, please, if you are doing basically a sales video for WTB at least try to do it credibly. Vast majority of the stuff you rode — especially the stuff you did in race mode — would have been far safer and faster to do on stuff like WTB Raddlers, Schwalbe G-One Overland or Bite, Teravail Rutland, Pirelli Gravel M etc… Not even talking about the parts where you ride in wet where these tires are borderline useless.
Pathfinders and this tire are for princess gravel and asphalt stuff. There is nothing inherently "fast" in them, it's not a button you can press.
WTB, leak sealant out of the sidewalls, tan are the worst, black is still bad – then they wear out as if they are made of chocolate – no wonder they have to pay to display – really not fit for purpose 👍😞
