Why Is the Strada Bianca Pro Handmade TLR Challenge's Fastest Gravel Tire?

Challenge calls the Strada Bianca Pro Handmade TLR their fastest gravel tire and their most versatile road tire, and those are big claims that the construction backs up. The proven herringbone tread pattern handles rough roads, packed dirt, and dry gravel with confidence, delivering speed where surfaces are predictable and grip where they are not. At 700 x 36, it sits in the sweet spot between road efficiency and all-road capability, and the 260TPI SuperPoly casing gives it the kind of suppleness and compliance you would normally associate with a high-end road tire.

Pro Handmade construction means every tire is built to tighter tolerances than machine-built alternatives, and Challenge's SmartPlus Compound delivers the grip and durability balance needed for all-condition performance across extended miles. TLR tubeless-ready for use with sealant and compatible with hooked rims. Priced at $76.99, this is the tire that serious all-road and gravel riders reach for when they want Challenge's best materials in a race-day or high-mileage training package.

FAQ

What is SmartPlus Compound and what does it do?

SmartPlus is Challenge's rubber compound formulated for the balance of grip, rolling resistance, and durability needed for all-condition performance. It holds traction in variable conditions while resisting the wear that extended mileage demands.

How does the Pro Handmade differ from the standard Strada Bianca TLR?

The Pro Handmade uses a 260TPI SuperPoly casing versus the standard 120TPI nylon. The higher thread count delivers a more supple, road-bike-like feel that reduces fatigue on long rides. Handmade construction also means better bead consistency and more uniform ride behavior.

Is the 700x36 wide enough for serious gravel riding?

Yes, especially for hardpack gravel, rough roads, and packed dirt. At 36mm, the Strada Bianca Pro is fast and efficient while still providing real comfort and compliance. It runs at lower pressures tubeless, which increases the effective contact patch and ride quality significantly.

Best For

Road cyclists who regularly hit gravel and all-road routes, or gravel racers who prioritize speed and suppleness over maximum volume. The Strada Bianca Pro Handmade TLR at 700x36 is the choice for events like Strade Bianche-style routes where pavement and packed dirt are equally in play.
