Boken Doublecross 42

IRC

Gravel = DoubleCross

As its name implies, the Boken DoubleCross is a dual-sport tire. This tire excels on both gravel and pavement an aggressive all-conditions gravel tire.

Our engineers optimized the tread pattern for the 42mm to have a fast-rolling center tread for gravel and adventure riding paired with burly side knobs that hook up when the gnar gets gnarly. With more bite than our file-tread Boken, the Boken DoubleCross 42 give you superior performance on loose, rough, or loamy terrain.

Strengths:

The DoubleCross with Ballistic nylon side walls is known for its toughness and puncture resistance.

I’m on my 4th pair. It’s the most versatile tire on the market and durability is unmatched.

IRC tires are game changer!!

I thought all tires would be pretty much the same from brand to brand. But I was wrong and IRC are the bomb! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
This is my 3rd season doing gravel and I have been riding on panaracer Gravelking SK+, I’ve tried 42’s, they felt ok but too big and settled for the 38 but couldn’t get used to lower than 40PSI. I can run 25-28PSI on my 42 DoubleCross they feel solid and super comfortable without bottoming out and hitting the rim on rocky sections. I believe this is due to the sidewall of the IRC being so strong that you can run lower pressure without sacrifying control over comfort. Looking forward to Unbound 2024!!

Broken Doublecross 42

Got a couple rides on the new tires, they seem to roll very good and no issues with traction. Looking forward to testing them out at Stetina's paydirt!
