The new Terra Competition – Technical Details.

The new Terra Competition is designed for fast gravel use and features a finely treaded pattern that is ideal for light gravel, compacted soil, as well as rough, worn asphalt in dry to slightly damp conditions.

  • The Terra Competition has a distinct profile, designed for on-road and light off-road use.
  • A nearly continuous central section ensures uncompromising speed on straight sections.
  • More pronounced shoulder blocks and drainage elements improve ground contact and off-road performance.
  • The overall design is intended to reduce aerodynamic drag.

Hardpack.

Developed for dry to wet conditions, as well as stony, hard and slightly loose surfaces. Master the challenges of modern XC and Downcountry at maximum speed.

Fast, light and smooth.

  • Lightweight and flexible single-layer casing construction. Combination of textile insert and rubber compound provides excellent cushioning and flexibility
  • Reinforced sidewall and crown for the optimal compromise between weight, flexibility and tubeless-readiness. Reinforced for optimal puncture protection.
  • Tubeless Ready and hookless compatible thanks to aramid core and optimised design in the bead area.
  • Optimised for cross-country and down-country use.

Trail Casing

Adaptable, agile, and robust.

  • Adaptable and robust single-layer construction. Construction and fabric are designed for outstanding durability and ground adaptation.
  • Reinforced sidewalls and crown for demanding off-road and trail riding with first-class adaptability and puncture protection.
  • Tubeless Ready and hookless compatible thanks to aramid core and optimised design in the bead area.
  • Optimised for demanding down-country and trail use.

GRIP: Flexible, cushioning and traction.

Developed for modern cross-country, down-country, trail, and gravel use. This compound offers an excellent balance between grip and rolling resistance, making it the first choice for all-rounders.


RAPID: Efficient, fast and agile.

If speed and acceleration on flat sections and climbs are your priorities, the Rapid compound is the right choice for you. Inspired by the compounds used in our road, race, and gravel tyres. For riders who don't want to compromise on speed.


All compounds feature the BlackChili Compound.

The user-friendly tubeless system. TL technology is specially designed to adapt tubeless for the demands of road cycling. Easy to mount and reliable in use.

Specially developed, the tubeless bead seals particularly well due to its shape and ensures a stable hold on the rim.

We recommend the use of Revo-Sealant.

E-bike ready.
For our e-bike tyres, we draw on over 100 years of experience with moped and motorcycle tyres. All our city/trekking tyres meet at least the standard up to 25 km/h. Tyres marked with E50 are also approved for S-pedelecs. With their high-quality construction, they offer high puncture protection, low rolling resistance, and protection against premature wear due to the additional drive force.
