As an iconic cycling image, "Strada bianca" refers to the iconic white packed gravel/dirt roads in Tuscany, conjuring images of dust billowing through country vineyards behind a peloton as their tires crunch musically over the hardpack dirt and fine gravel roads. The aptly named Challenge Strada Bianca (formerly called the Eroica-series) perfectly fills that niche and in this 120 tpi Nylon Superlight TLR version, you get a fast rolling, high volume tire that offers grip and hold on uneven surfaces, even when dusty. The alternating medium file tread also holds corners well on wet pavement and along with the casing and higher volume helps smooth out the ride at any speed.

This is your tire for rough roads, packed dirt, and most gravel surfaces and as such, the Tubeless Ready Casing allows you to run lower pressures as needed. An aramid bead keeps a strong, safe hold on hooked tubeless rims, whether you are running tubeless or opting for a tube. The seal is effective thanks to the strength and shape of the bead. Challenge recommends their SMART sealant, though any non-ammonia based sealant will be safe and effective.
