For the first time in summer 2025, Goodyear Bicycle Tires will present the new
Connector, the latest generation of gravel tires. The current Connector series has
been completely redesigned from the ground up and redefines the possibilities of
gravel riding. With three new tread designs, a next-generation race casing, and the
latest Dynamic:UHP compound, Goodyear promises ultra-high performance in a new
concept for all-road and gravel. The "Slick" version is aimed at riders who want to
extract every last watt from their tires, especially on paved roads and trails.
The "Speed" version offers a compromise, providing more lateral grip thanks to its
flat side knobs and excellent rolling characteristics due to its center rib.
The "Inter" boasts optimized all-terrain performance, even off-road.
All models share the new 120 TPI "Race" casing, which promises 20% greater durability.
This results in up to 50% less rolling resistance and 70g less weight compared to
previous Goodyear gravel tires. The models are available through the German
distributor at Messingschlager.
