It has a thicker tread and a supposedly 'stronger' casing,
full name is something like "TServ for messengers".
Rearding lack of data, Panaracer are generally not sold
through the big discounters but usually through independent
distributors/independent LBS.
TServ folding are available in 700-25, 28, 32 and 35C then
also 26x1.75, 1.5, 1.25.
FWIW the casing doesn't look as finely woven as a Pasela.
The casing material has distinctive yellow 'mesh' laid over
a black thread. Panaracer says 'full kevlar' casing. That
mesh might be to resist casing bruises. They do seem durable
in use.
