Gravel as a phenomenon of modern cycling. Tubeless gravel tyres have become standard thanks to their ability to combine the best of road and MTB technologies – they allow lower pressures for greater comfort and traction on rough terrain, minimize the risk of punctures thanks to sealant, and maintain low rolling resistance. The growing popularity of gravel stems from its versatility – one tyre, many surfaces, the freedom to discover new paths off the beaten track.

Our range includes two types of gravel tyres that meet the different requirements of riders and terrain conditions:

• The standard version is designed with an emphasis on low rolling resistance and excellent grip, making it the ideal choice for racing and fast riding on solid surfaces. The finer structure of the tire with a higher number of thin fibers (higher TPI) ensures smooth and sensitive contact with the surface.
• The HD (Heavy Duty) version provides increased resistance to punctures and cuts. It is suitable for more demanding terrain where reliability is key. The tire has a lower TPI, meaning fewer but thicker fibers, which increases the overall robustness of the construction.

The current standard for professional pelotons. Tubeless tyres combine the advantages of tubular tyres and tube systems – they offer low rolling resistance, greater riding comfort thanks to lower pressures, and significantly reduce the risk of punctures thanks to the use of sealant.

Tubeless technology has become popular mainly due to its versatility, safety, and performance—it allows for aggressive riding even on rough surfaces without the risk of puncturing the inner tube or removing the tyre. Most World Tour teams today choose this option as their primary racing solution.
