The all-new Rene Herse Manastash Ridge tires fill the 700 x 44mm sweet spot in the brand’s growing line-up, bridging the gap between gravel and adventure tires. Find more details about the Manastash Ridge tires here…

The latest tire from Rene Herse Cycles comes as a response to countless customer requests for a tire to fill the perceived gap in their line-up, which didn’t have any offerings between 42mm, considered a standard gravel tire size by many these days, and 48mm, which most bikes designed for gravel can’t clear. That’s where the new 700 x 44mm Rene Herse Manastash Ridge comes in, rounding out the goldilocks position and bringing the technology featured in Rene Herse’s 29″ x 2.2″ Fleecer Ridge to a smaller format.

Rene Herse Manastash Ridge tires

We gave the Tour Divide-winning Fleecer Ridge tires the award for “Best New Component” in our 2020 Bikepacking Gear of the Year Awards for being extraordinarily fast-rolling, surprisingly durable with the Endurance casing, and remarkably quiet compared to similar tires. The Manastash Ridge tires feature the same dual-purpose, noise-canceling, flex-free knobby tread seen in the Fleecer Ridges, and they also boast Rene Herse’s new Brake Support technology, which they claim optimizes knob shapes and distribution to withstand the huge G-forces of hydraulic discs.

They’re currently available in Endurance and Endurance Plus casings, which are priced at $92 and $98 per tire, respectively. By the end of the month, they will also have stock of the Standard and Extralight versions, which come in at $78 and $92.
