For my Vaya,

Currently running 41mm Knards, but want something a bit more road orientated for the (upcoming?) Summer.

I've Schwalbe marathon Plus' but they are beyond heavy, thinking along the line of Compass Barlow's?

Any other ideas?

I run the Compass Barlows on my Fargo. Lovely.
The Compass Bon Jon are tubeless compatible but only 35mm.

Schwalbe G-One might be in the mix?

Panaracer Pasela or Ribmo are pretty good, not too heavy, available in up to 37mm.

Or Schwalbe Marathon Supreme are a lot lighter than the Marathon Plus, still pretty tough.

Another Barlow Pass fan here.

BUT going to try G-Ones next, bit more protection esp in sidewalls, bit more grip, from the look of it.

I found continue cx speeds very good on roads and bridleways and cheap and light but they are only 35mm and can be puncture prone

Panaracer Pasela

Good tyres, I like them and use them but they are noticeably draggier than the Barlows (on same bike and wheels)

If you don't mind going down to 35c, the kojak might be worth checking out- it's a genuine fatter road tyre, slick and light and fast. I really rate it but obviously it's a little undersized.

I've been running 40c Little Big Bens for touring and have been very happy with them. Marathon Supremes are great too if you can find them at the right price.
