540g

http://www.bgcycles.com/new-page-24/
The things you need to know:
The new tire measures out at a nice 43mm ( or 1.72" for the Imperial folks) x 700c.
It's lighter than the original. Our 43mm x 700c samples all weighed right about 540g.
We payed extra for top quality! Japanese built by Panaracer, the tire has a nice kevlar folding bead and a classic gumwall.
If you want to bundle several items and save on shipping - Please give me a call and I will work out a bundle shipping cost (707) 762-5601 via the phone.
Please make sure that the bike you are fitting the tires on has enough clearance. Your bike must also have 43.5cm chain stays.
PLEASE MEASURE before ordering!!! Don't just hope they will fit!!!
See the dimensions and the necessary clearances in picture 4 & 5

ENDURO TIRES
https://janheine.wordpress.com/2016/02/28/enduro-allroad-bikes-taking-off/
Compass introduced the first two Enduro Allroad tires last year. The Rat Trap Pass is a 26″ x 2.3″ tire (54 mm wide). The Switchback Hill (above, named after the first climb of the Oregon Outback) is a 650B x 48 mm.
WTB introduced their new “Road Plus™” 650B x 47 mm tire
The WTB tire may look similar to our Compass tires, but it doesn’t duplicate our efforts. At 515 g, it’s about 100 g heavier than our Switchback Hill, and it seems to be intended more as a utility tire. “Road Plus™” http://www.wtb.com/collections/road-plus Horizon 650 x 47c Road Plus TCS
And there finally seems to be a consensus that a knobby tread is of little use when riding on gravel. (The rock “layers” move in relation to each other, rather than the tire slipping on the top layer of gravel.)
Masi, Miele, Rawland and Brodie have announced new models designed around 650B Enduro Allroad tires.

You need a set of calipers (below). If you don’t have any, bike shops have them. Please leave a generous tip if you ask a shop mechanic to help you with this!
Measure the width of your current tires. Be careful not to pinch the tire. Instead, increase the opening of the calipers by 0.5 mm increments, and check whether the opening has play when it is slipped over the tire. (The calipers “rattle” when you move them.) When this happens, the calipers are set just a tad larger than the actual width of your tires. Use this measurement as your current tire width.
If you pinch the tire with the calipers, you may get a measurement that is up to 2 mm narrower. Also don’t use the width that is printed on the side of the tire. More likely than not, it’s inaccurate.
Then check all around how much clearance you have. Most important are:
fork crown
brake calipers (front and rear): squeeze your brakes to get the clearance when braking
chainstays
seatstays can limit the clearances on some bikes.
fenders: often, you can adjust the fenders to eliminate a tight spot.
I recommend a minimum of 3 mm clearance between your tires and the closest part of your bike. Any less, and you run the risk of having your tire rub, under hard acceleration or if the wheel develops a slight wobble.
To calculate your maximum tire width, start with the smallest clearance between your existing tire and bike.
Then deduct the minimum clearance, 3 mm, to get the existing available clearance for your wider tire. Multiply this by 2 (you have that much room on both sides of the tire), add the current tire width, and you get the maximum tire width.
Example: Your current tires are 29 mm wide. You have 5 mm clearance at the tightest spot. That leaves 2 mm available clearance. You can run 4 mm wider tires than your current ones. You maximum tire width is 33 mm.
This assumes that your new tires have a similar height-to-width ratio as your existing ones. Some inexpensive tires can be much taller than they are wide, but high-end tires usually are relatively round, and this formula works well.
If you find yourself between two available tire sizes, I suggest you use the narrower tire. High-end tires tend to expand over time as the casing “relaxes,” and you don’t want your tire to rub every time you rise out of the saddle and flex your wheel. If you find that you still have extra clearance, you can go up one more size when the new tires wear out.
By the way, the bike in the photos does not appear to have extra clearance, so if your bike looks like that, you probably should stick with the tire width you have. You still can improve the ride and performance of your bike by using more supple tires with higher-quality casings.
