FAQ

How does the Getaway TLR compare to the Gravel Grinder TLR?

The Getaway is designed for more technically demanding terrain and variable conditions including sandy and wet surfaces. The Gravel Grinder is better suited for general mixed gravel and hardpack. If your routes get legitimately rough, the Getaway is the better fit.

What makes the three-zone tread design effective?

Each zone of the tread serves a different function: the packed center minimizes rolling resistance, the open transition knobs handle lateral loads and soft surfaces, and the shoulder knobs activate under cornering pressure. Together they make the tire adaptable without any one zone compromising the others.

Is the Getaway TLR standard version different from the Pro Handmade?

The tread design is the same. The Pro Handmade version uses higher-quality casing construction and materials, resulting in a more supple ride feel. The standard TLR is an excellent performer at a lower price point, while the Pro Handmade is for riders who want to maximize ride quality.

Best For

Gravel riders who regularly encounter varied surfaces including loose corners, sandy washes, and wet conditions on routes that go well beyond straightforward gravel roads. The Getaway TLR at 700x40 is the standard version that hits the right balance of price and performance for mixed-terrain riding.
