Rene Herse got ahold of Sofiane Sehili’s Fleecer Ridge tires that were used to win last year’s 2,666-mile Tour Divide race. See how they fared after this long ride of more than 175 miles per day here…
In our annual Rigs of the Tour Divide last year, we looked at the bikes of 120 riders who embarked on the challenging ride from Canada to the US/Mexico border. In total, 19.6% of the bikes were shod with Rene Herse tires, most of which were the venerable Fleecer Ridge, a tire made expressly for such routes.
Rene Herse-sponsored rider Sofiane Sehili won the race, averaging more than 175 miles (280 kilometers) per day for almost two weeks. For the sake of testing and product development, Rene Herse got the tires from Sofiane and Abe Kaufman (4th place winner) to examine them after all these miles. What did they find? “The first thing that struck us was the good condition of these tires.” Find more in the photos and captions below.
