MAXXIS High Road SL HYPR K2 ONE70

[okx]

Has any one tried them?
By weight looks like TT tyre, but still have some puncture protection...

One of my favorite clinchers for the obvious weight saving, but I only use it at the front and pair it with the non-SL on the rear. Just enough tread width and very supple. Great wet grip. Don't roll exceptionally fast like GP5k tho.

Largely agree with this. Great for the weight savings, but you don't get anything for free and it does roll slower (noticeably when riding) than the top performers, and puncture protection is patchy at best. I gave up on them in the end due to the amount of punctures. I also found them to be quite a noisy tire, which I suspect contributes to the sense that they aren't rolling as freely (even though that probably has nothing to do with the RR).

You'd probably be better off trying the Agilest Light if you want a hillclimb tire, as the RR is likely to be much lower, even at 20-25kmh.

I'm not sure that's right. The Agilest hasn't tested particularly well either (BRR has the standard one pretty average, and I doubt the Light will be materially quicker). There is a test of the HYPR SL on Aerocoach, where for a pair of wheels it tests 3.6w slower than a GP5000 clincher, so not appalling, but not that bad (and I suspect not much different to the Panaracer).

That's surprising re: the Aaerocoach test ... because other Maxxis road and gravel tires have been terrible. And their XC tires too ...

Agreed - I can see the High Road TLR on Aerocoach tested at about 15w slower than the GP5000 clincher for a pair of tires - a bit eye watering... I guess the SL must have a different compound (in addition to having very little tread depth or puncture protection)
