TUFO Gravel Thundero Tyres

The Thundero is TUFO's do-it-all tyre. The center comprises of tightly packed knobs, designed for speed and silent coasting, with three indented rows of knobs on the outer tread, which gives the Thundero its potent bite on any surface, providing excellent grip even on unpaved surfaces and allows you to corner sharply. It features a wide tread and the durable flexible Jubena protection layer on the sidewalls offering protection from stones. A Puncture proof ply under the tread minimizes the risk of punctures and contributes to the overall reliability of the tyre. The high TPI casing construction, together with the soft tread compound, smoothes out any surface and prevents the tyre from bouncing and maintains traction on uneven surfaces. The Thundero is also made to be long lasting and guarantees high mileage.

From the Curator;

Thundero
"The intermediate tire, it has the best mix between the Speedero's low rolling resistance and the Swampero's hard bite. Recommended for more advance riding in Singapore and some overseas riding / touring. If you aren't sure what to expect, or which tyre to pick, this would cover it."

"TUFO - Never has a tyre company launched 3 models of gravel tires, ALL scoring 5/5 and highly recommended verdicts on independent tester, Bicycle Rolling Resistance. They have also been awarded back to back Editors choice on Bike Rumor in the gravel segment, on ALL models.

The TUFO's are extremely light, topping the weight chart.

For reference, a Pirelli - Cinturato Gravel S is 110grams, heavier.
PER TIRE. Of the same size. (40mm)

All TUFO Tires are proudly Made in the Czech Republic."

We rate the Gravel Thundero 5 out of 5 as we feel this is one of the best gravel bike tires for mixed conditions. We're also impressed by the looks and quality of this tire; it's obvious the new Tufo tires are made to a very high standard."

"Having specialized in cyclocross tires and uniquely durable tubeless tubulars on & off-road for 25 years, TUFO have expanded their capabilities greatly since first adding clinchers, then tubeless clinchers, then more Europe-based contract manufacturing for other brands in recent years. I’ve ridden generations of tough CX & maybe too fragile road TUFOs in the past, so after looking at the specs I was hoping these new tires might hit the ‘just right‘ sweet spot in between.

And that they did… earning an Editor’s Choice Award this winter as the best all-new gravel tire I rode in 2020.

At just SGD 85 a tire, Tufo’s Gravel tires definitely feels like a solid value. A 40mm wide tire isn’t going to offer the volume & comfort for heading deeply off-road or onto big loaded bikepacking adventures. If that’s what you are looking for, probably best to go find the biggest mountain bike tire that will fit in your gravel bike.

But if you are just looking for a well-made (in the EU) grippy all-rounder gravel tire that won’t break the bank, and 40mm sounds like a good fit, it’s hard to argue with either Tufo’s tubeless Gravel Thundero or Gravel Speedero tires."

<BikeRumor> - Editors Choice 2020

EDITOR’S CHOICE (GRAVEL) – Tufo Thundero: So, these new Czech-made tubeless gravel tires are new enough that I haven’t even written about them yet. But with two 700c x 40mm options – this more aggressive Thundero & a tighter-spaced Speedero – Tufo has crafted some relatively light ~440g gravel tires that are fast rolling, comfortable, grippy, and super affordable. Meant to ride hardpack terrain, they are a happy medium type tire that has carried me quickly on both road and trail – with an easy tubeless setup that has been totally trouble-free.

Czech tyre manufacturer Tufo had a legendary reputation in the past for tubular cyclocross tyres. It now has a whole range of tubeless gravel tyres that are claimed to enjoy the same low weight and fast rolling the ‘cross tyres were famed for.

Thundero, available in a 40mm width with a tightly gridded tread that maxes out at 2.5mm deep.A tight diamond-pattern centre strip tread should provide fast rolling on tarmac, while the more spread-out tread on its flanks and shoulders is designed to give ample bite in dry dusty corners.
