Anyone running them? I have a new set of Conti Terra Speed 45m but I’m heading toward a race with lots of sand and some chunk. Looking at a set of 50 mm Terra TLR which apparently fit well in a Crux. Sounds like width ends up being 48 mm on 25 id whereas Conti Terra Speed are more like 44…

I would also like to know. As a die hard of the old Pathfinder Pro 42’s who wants a MTB tire but cant fit it, the 50m looks interesting.

[IMG_7600] Well I went and got some Terra TLR and slapped em on my Terra CLX ii and they inflate to 48 mm. Seeing reports they stretch to almost 50. Chain stays will be tight. They feel faster rolling than the Rene Herse Manatash Ridge 44c and Gravel King SK 43c I’ve used lately. Handling feels di…

I tried a 2.1 up front (fast track) and a 42 out back. It could not corner. Same problem or was it just cause mine was a frankin bike that had way to slack a head angle? Also what wheels are you running for internal rim width?

I just mounted up 50c Tracer on Reserve 40/44 GR rims and they measure 49mm. Honestly so far (albeit only two rides in) they feel amazing. I was a die hard pathfinder fan and that’s all I ran. I did like the Cont Terra speed for awhile but realize how harsh of a ride they were now after trying Trace…

From the race reports I’ve seen, the Specialized team riders seem to be picking the Tracer over the new Pathfinder for most of the gravel races, so it seems they have confidence in them. I think Beers was on Pathfinders for BWR Cali, but back on the Tracer for Traka. [image]

Yeah good to know. Also cool picture. I am soo ready for them to update the Crux into a gravel SL8 cause why not? I recon an SL8 with 2.2 in tire clearance would be a killer of a bike if not just kinda cool. Yall think the center of the pathfinder is still faster? I almost think its what adds to pu…

I think there are tons of gravel SL8 on the market already. Crux should stay light, snappy, and simple.

Where are the said Gravel SL8’s? I would defiantly consider it as my next bike if the tire clearance was reasonable (does not need to be able to fit 2.2) and was aero

Are you riding the wild horse? I wanted tracer but could only find Terra in SLC. They feel pretty fast though…
