Rene Herse Chinook Pass 700x28C Tire

Enjoy the comfort and speed of supple tires on your road bike! We name our tires after the passes in the Cascade Mountains that inspire them: Chinook Pass branches off from Cayuse Pass and heads to Eastern Washington. The road takes you above the treeline. As you round Tipsoo Lake, you get the most spectacular vista of Tahoma (Mount Rainier) – especially in the morning, when the glaciers glow in the early sunlight.

The moderate gradient allows you to let your bike fly, and these tires are perfect for the smooth gravel surface of the pass and for the chip-sealed asphalt that covers the approach.

The supple casing of Rene Herse all-road tires rolls smoothly over surface irregularities. The tread pattern interlocks with the road surface for superior cornering grip, wet or dry. The tread has enough thickness in the center to last thousands of miles, but it’s thin and supple on the shoulders where it doesn’t wear.

The Standard casing is our more affordable option: comfortable and fast, yet also strong to withstand considerable abuse. The Extralight casing takes the performance, comfort and feel of your bike to an entirely new level.

The Chinook Pass is NOT tubeless-compatible.
