It's a slick. It's reliable on dry gravel. I only recommend it as a spare. It packs very tight because it is a slick. It also has reliable flat protection. It's a highly regarded fast touring tire and touring cyclist need to use ultra reliable gear that is light. It also can be found at a modest price.
