Panaracer Agilest 16" 349 Folding Tyre
The Panaracer Agilest 16" 349 Folding Tyre brings Panaracer's renowned road racing technology to small-wheel bicycles. Designed for riders who demand speed, comfort and reliability, it delivers exceptionally low rolling resistance, confident grip and dependable puncture protection for urban commuting, fitness riding and weekend adventures.
Handcrafted at Panaracer's headquarters in Tamba City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, every Agilest tyre reflects decades of Japanese engineering and manufacturing expertise. The result is a lightweight, responsive tyre that maximises the performance of 16-inch (349) folding bikes.
Built for Small-Wheel Performance
Unlike simply downsizing a road tyre, the Agilest 16" 349 has been specifically engineered to meet the unique handling, comfort and performance requirements of compact-wheel bicycles.
Ax-α Advanced Casing
Panaracer's Advanced Extra Alpha (Ax-α) casing uses ultra-fine 0.14mm cords to create a lightweight, highly flexible tyre. The higher casing density reduces rolling resistance while improving ride quality and responsiveness.
ZSG Compound
The Zero Slip Grip (ZSG) rubber compound delivers an excellent balance of low rolling resistance, confident cornering grip and long-lasting durability for everyday riding.
PR Shield Puncture Protection
A nylon taffeta PR Shield layer reinforces the tyre casing to improve puncture resistance without significantly increasing weight, helping reduce the risk of flats on city streets and rough roads.
Lightweight Folding Bead
The folding bead construction reduces overall tyre weight while making installation, transport and storage more convenient than traditional wire bead tyres.
