The Bon Jon Pass from René Herse Cycles, formerly known as Compass Cycles, sounds like a nice versatile tire. With its 700C x 35 mm size, it is perfect for bikes with a little extra room, right in between the Stampede Pass and Barlow Pass. This tire seems to be made for a specific cycling experience, especially on fairly smooth gravel roads with moderate inclines, such as those found on the Olympic Peninsula.
A notable feature seems to be its performance on asphalt. The wider width and lower pressure translate to better cornering and smoother handling, especially on surfaces such as so-called "chip seal. The tire's compatibility with tubeless setups adds to its appeal, giving cyclists options to reduce punctures and generally improve performance.
It is interesting to note that the brand has rebranded itself from Compass Cycles to René Herse Cycles, although it appears there is still some overlap in terminology on the website and product branding. This consolidation may streamline the brand identity in the future.
All in all, the Bon Jon Pass sounds like a solid choice for cyclists looking for a tire that balances performance on a variety of surfaces and terrain types.
