Valkyrie

Happy so far

Haven't had a chance to put serious miles on them but happy so far. 4 stars because they were a bit challenging to seat.

Huge improvement over OE tires

Installed tubeless and they seated easily. The main thing is ride quality. My new road bike came with Kenda tires and they were adequate for OEM, but these new tires transformed the ride experience. Faster, better cornering, more assured braking, less chatter and greater comfort. I have become brand loyal to Kenda tires in recent years. The performance and value of these tires remind me why. And lest you credit the switch to tubeless as the reason for the improvements, tubeless cannot make a bad tire good. It did make these excellent tires a bit better.

My wife rides a Road Bike and I ride a Gravel bike. We are doing RAGBRAI and I wanted a common tire size for both bikes to minimize the number of spare tires/tubes we needed. We only have a couple hundred miles on them, but they have been great.
