Specialized Terra TLR

Yes, the Terra TLR is designed specifically for gravel. The fast-rolling center tread keeps you moving efficiently on pavement, while the spaced shoulder knobs provide the grip you need when cornering on loose dirt or gravel.

Absolutely. The 'TLR' designation stands for Tubeless Ready, meaning they are designed to be set up tubeless. This allows you to run lower pressures for better comfort and traction while significantly reducing the risk of pinch flats.

The Gripton T5 compound is engineered to balance speed and longevity. It offers a reliable grip in various conditions without wearing down prematurely, making it a solid choice for long-distance gravel riding.

These are 700c tires with a 50mm width, so you need to ensure your frame and fork have sufficient clearance for a tire of this size. Most standard road bikes cannot accommodate 50mm tires, so check your bike's maximum tire clearance specifications before purchasing.

The 60 TPI (threads per inch) casing provides a robust balance between durability and suppleness. It is sturdy enough to handle rough gravel and resist cuts, while still offering a comfortable ride quality compared to lower-thread-count tires.
