Terra Competition gravel tire optimized for hardpack speed and tubeless performance
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This tire makes the most sense for firm, fast terrain. The casing keeps it feeling supple and efficient, and the tread doesn’t waste energy on surfaces where you don’t need extra bite. It’s a smart choice for performance gravel setups where rolling speed and consistency matter most."
Terra Competition is engineered specifically for hardpack gravel and mixed-surface efficiency. Its tread pattern minimizes rolling drag on compact terrain while maintaining predictable traction during cornering and high-speed efforts. Rather than chasing aggressive lug depth, the design focuses on maintaining speed across pavement connectors and firm gravel sectors.
Compound options allow riders to fine-tune performance. The Rapid compound prioritizes acceleration and low rolling resistance for race-oriented setups, while the Grip compound offers a more versatile balance of traction and efficiency. A lightweight single-ply construction enhances responsiveness and road feel without unnecessary bulk.
Tubeless Ready compatibility enables lower operating pressures for improved compliance and control, and hookless compatibility supports modern wheel standards within stated pressure limits. For competitive gravel events and fast all-road builds, Terra Competition delivers a focused blend of efficiency, control, and durability tailored to firm terrain.

The Fastest Terra Yet


Lower Rolling Resistance
Up to 17% lower rolling resistance than Terra Speed for sustained speed across pavement and firm gravel. Designed to maintain momentum without excess drag.

Lighter Build. Responsive Ride.
Up to 16% lighter than Terra Speed, the reduced rotating mass improves acceleration and climbing response. The refined casing and tread profile also support aerodynamic efficiency during sustained high-speed efforts.

Performance Tread Design
A nearly continuous center tread supports straight-line efficiency, while pronounced shoulder knobs enhance cornering control. Rapid prioritizes speed; Grip adds traction and durability.

Best For Hardpack & Tarmac Mix
Terra Competition is built for fast riding on firm, mixed surfaces.
• Optimized for compact gravel and pavement connectors
• Not intended for deep, loose, or muddy terrain
• Rapid compund for maximum speed; Grip for added traction
• Designed for dry to lightly moist conditions
