Expanse epitomizes high-end road that isn’t fazed by rough surfaces and lengthy detours.
Elevated centerline ridges and dense intermediate peaks conform to any terrain during out-of-the-saddle efforts while two rows of outer knobs provide both the support and sidewall protection you need to really push it in the corners. Venture is an excellent choice when both the terrain and destination are unknown.
Fast Centerline
Tightly-spaced centerline tread provides a smooth and efficient ride on pavement and hardpack surfaces while still providing the grooves and knob edges needed to maximize accelerating and braking traction on loose dirt and gravel surfaces.
Massive Footprint
Large, high-volume footprint allows for more of the working edges of the tread to be in contact with the terrain. Increased surface contact between the tread and terrain results in more traction without the need for tall knobs that reduce rolling efficiency.
Supple Intermediate Ridges
Rows of dotted ridgelines are repeated along the transition zone of the tread. Tight spacing allows the ridges provides a nearly continous contact patch that increases efficiency as a whole, while the ridges are able to individually conform to the terrain and therefore increase braking traction and cornering confidence.

Venture is the set-it-and-forget-it gravel tire for riders who demand steadfast traction on a wide range of surfaces.
The nearly uninterrupted centerline provides swift efficiency on hardpack terrain while staggered outer knobs allow you to stay on the gas while hammering up chunky climbs or hanging on through loose gravel corners. The high-volume 40mm casing smooths out jarring gravel while also reducing drag and rolling resistance. This makes for an all-out gravel destroyer that still appeases those clamoring for a truly big cyclocross tire. Everybody's irrefutable favorite.
Looking for a gravel tread that keeps your legs on their game for hours on end while also accommodating longer dirt tours with ease? The Riddler is equally at home on your local cyclocross course or gravel B-road.
Semi-slick tread
Shorter center knobs cut down on rolling resistance while still providing ample bite for out-of-the-saddle pedaling. Increased outer knob height allows them to bite in the earlier phases of cornering and therefore provide the traction you need on loose gravel roads.
Efficient Knob Spacing
Tightly spaced knobs throughout the the tread keep the Riddler 700 rolling quickly and efficiently across the whole spectrum of riding conditions. Uninterupted knobs ensure you get the most out of every single watt you're able to crank out.
Two Widths, Many Uses
The Riddler 700 is available in 37 and 45mm widths. Riddler 37 is the go-fast option for those who are in it to win it on their CX or gravel bikes. Riddler 45 is the go-confidently choice for long gravel rides or bikepacking overnights. Whichever width you choose, the Riddler 700 is often considered the set-it-and-forget-it gravel tire in the WTB line.
