The TUFO Thundero is a fast-rolling gravel tyre for riders who want one tyre that can handle a bit of everything. It rolls smoothly and quietly on hardpack, sealed roads, and gravel, but still gives you enough edge grip and control when the surface gets loose or rough.
If your rides mix tarmac, gravel roads, rail trails, and light backcountry terrain, the Thundero is a strong all-round option. It is the kind of tyre that suits riders who do not want to overthink every route choice.

What kind of riding is it best for?
The Thundero works well for:
- gravel rides with a mix of sealed and unsealed surfaces
- adventure rides where conditions can change
- hardpack and fast gravel
- riders who want speed without giving up too much grip
It is a good pick when you want one gravel tyre that feels efficient on the road ride out, but still capable once the gravel starts.
Ride feel
Expect a tyre that feels quick, predictable, and versatile. The tightly packed centre tread helps it roll efficiently, while the more aggressive outer tread gives you more confidence when leaning into corners or riding over looser surfaces.
Compared with a more aggressive gravel tyre, it is better suited to mixed riding than deep mud or very soft terrain. That follows directly from the tread design shown on the live page.
Choose the TUFO Thundero if you want:
- a fast gravel tyre for mixed terrain
- a tubeless-ready gravel tyre for NZ roads and gravel
- a tyre that balances speed, comfort, puncture protection, and grip
- one dependable option instead of swapping tyres for every ride
