Founded in 1948, Panaracer began manufacturing rubber products for a variety of commercial and consumer applications. In 1978 we began to exclusively produce bicycle tyres so we could carefully focus on producing the finest tyres available today. Without a doubt, Panaracer is the last Japanese manufacturer still producing bicycle tyres in Japan. We feel that our domestic production allows us to keep our quality control at the highest levels. On staff we have seven full time R&D engineers constantly researching compounds, tread patterns and casing technology. Additionally, there is a emphasis on cutting-edge CAD tread and profile development. This advanced first stage of tyre creation allows us to quickly advance new tire designs and product development. We are also constantly upgrading our molds and bladders, both important tools for producing reliable cutting-edge rubber products. For the tyre production itself, we use only the finest hand-picked raw materials to create our casings and compounds. When those material choices are combined with our patented technology, the result is the finest tyres that you can cycle on today. In the 28 plus years of exclusively focusing on bicycle tyre design, we‘ve created some of the most ground-breaking tyres ever used by cyclists. Smoke and Dart are such an example of that history. These models left such an indelible mark on MTB tyre performance that they are still in production today due to their continued popular demand and their trend setting performance.
COMPOUND TECH ZSG Ultima provides incredible grip in wet or dry road conditions and superior handling performance. ZSG Ultima will wear at least 10% longer without sacrificing any riding performance. The PT Shield fabric layer is over 3 times more puncture resistance for a tire of comparable weight than other currently available casing reinforcement systems.

More durable than our other compounds yet without the harsh ride of other competitor’s hard compounds, Mile cruncher will roll the miles beneath you as you enjoy the ride.
Panaracer’s exclusive Multi-Step knobs have various heights designed into each knob These stepped knobs help tires to perform in all conditions from hard to soft. Short big knobs are specially designed to provide an excellent ride that also delivers the lightest weight full knobby MTB tires.
The Universal Tubeless System was developed by Mavic. UST allows you to run tubeless tires at a lower pressure for excellent traction and control. Pinch flats are virtually eliminated and ride quality is vastly improved.
800D polyamide cord is nearly twice as strong as the cord used in conventional tires. It improves rigidity, pinch flat and side cut protection. Transition from center to side is smooth and predictable 2. Tread designed to maintain contact at all times 3.Unique shape supports all riders and riding styles. 4. Elongated sidewall surface reduces tread cuts. 400D Cord technology improves side cut resistance of your tire while improving the rigidity during cornering.
Tourguard is an Aramid fiber belt placed under the tread to improve puncture resistance without increasing tire weight or sacrificing performance. When you see the ASB logo, it means that the tire has a proprietary anti-rebound rubber strip that reduces the chance of pinch flats by an average of 40%!
