Tire Review: Panaracer CrossBlaster Cyclocross Clincher Review
Racing and Riding Impressions: Like the Cinder-X, the CrossBlaster has a versatile tread that does well on all types of terrain, but its narrower width handles grass better than its bigger brother. The CrossBlaster is one of the lightest ’cross tires at under 300 grams, and its high TPI casing helps provide a supple ride over the rough stuff. Heavier riders may steer clear, as the narrow width requires higher pressures to avoid both pinch flats and tire roll at low pressures, but lighter riders would do well on this light and fast tire.
