Key Benefits for the Ultimate RideExperience a seamless transition from smooth asphalt to demanding gravel tracks. The Strada Bianca Pro is designed to provide a fast, efficient, and comfortable ride, no matter the surface.* Unmatched Comfort and Control: The artisanal handmade tubular casing, with its high thread count, acts as a natural suspension system. It absorbs high-frequency vibrations, reducing fatigue and allowing you to ride longer and faster. The ability to run lower pressures enhances this effect, providing a plush ride and maximizing the tyre´s contact patch for incredible grip.* Effortless Speed and Low Rolling Resistance: Don´t sacrifice speed for capability. The tyre features a fast-rolling herringbone center tread that minimizes rolling resistance on paved sections and hard-packed dirt, allowing you to maintain pace with road-specific setups.* Confident Cornering and Braking: When the terrain gets loose or the corners get tight, the aggressive side knobs dig in to provide predictable and tenacious grip. This inspires confidence, allowing you to carry more speed through turns and brake later and harder, on both dirt and pavement.* Enhanced Puncture Protection: Explore with peace of mind. The integrated Smartplus protection system offers a robust defense against flats from sharp stones and debris, without compromising the tyre´s legendary supple ride feel.
