Description

Your Introduction to Luxury Performance

The Challenge Elite PRO TLR breaks down barriers to handmade performance, unlocking value and artisan quality that are unmatched in this category. Great for year-round miles, the Elite is a terrific introduction to Challenge's Handmade quality.

This handmade PRO version combines a supple Super Polyester casing with the standard Smart Compound. Challenge's new Easy-Fit Shape moulding process gently pre-forms the tire for easier mounting and inflation.

Features:

  • CONSTRUCTION: Handmade - Challenge handmade tires combine comfort, performance, and grip in a way other tires can't match. Handmade tires are assembled step-by-step by experienced craftspeople. High quality natural glues and latex coatings are applied to ultra-supple casing materials. The result is a small-batch tire with a ride feel that is simply on a different level.
  • SERIES: PRO - Everyday Luxury, the workhorse handmade tire is the PRO series, delivering performance and ride feel unmatched by traditional vulcanized tires. Perfect for the rigors of daily riding.
  • CASING: Super Polyester 220TPI - Super Polyesters with higher thread counts make up Challenge's most affordable handmade casings. Polyester is much softer and stronger then nylon, is impervious to water and quite durable.
  • COMPOUND: SMART - Challenge's standard rubber compound, SMART is the perfect balance of durability and performance. Handmade construction ensures the tread compound is never hardened or heated by the vulcanization process.
  • PUNCTURE PROTECTION: PPS - The standard Puncture Protection System is a tough, tightly-woven fabric placed between the tread and casing to increase puncture resistance.

Specs:

  • 700 x 28, 30, 32
  • Black or Tan Sidewall
  • Tubeless Ready
  • Hookless Compatible
