The Yksion Elite Allroads are fine on tarmac, but the Gravel King SS/SK+ combo is better. When I'm doing more tarmac than gravel I do the Gravel Kings, when I know that's going to be flipped or know that it's loose fire roads & single track I go with the Yksions as they have more bite on the side wall. If I only had the Nox w/GP5K & Mavics I'd be content, but who wants LESS bike stuff??
