Description

Tackle The Toughest Conditions

Developed to embody the spirit of professional teams, The Challenge Flandrien tubular tire is named after resilient riders who thrive in challenging conditions worthy of a brutal Belgian winter. With its exceptional traction and precise control, the Flandrien empowers you to dominate both muddy trails and dry terrains alike while allowing efficient mud cleaning.

Sitting tidily between the all-rounder Baby Limus and the mud-centric Limus, the Flandrian touts a tight centerline with alternating rays of grippy lugs — it sheds mud as efficiently as it shreds hardpack.

This Team Edition tire is designed with versatility in mind and also takes into consideration the feedback of Challenge supported athletes which combined with all the benefits of handmade manufacturing, results in a high-performant Cyclocross tire for mixed conditions.

Features:

  • Handmade Challenge tires combine many attributes to create the most comfortable and low rolling resistance tires.
  • Sealed Corespun Cotton - To protect cotton casing, a special waterproof bead to bead coating is applied. This treatment keeps the casing lighter, softer and more supple, extending the tire's life and brightness.
  • Soft - This tire utilizes a softer durometer tread rubber so the S also stands for Softer and more Supple.
  • Latex - Latex tubes are stronger, lighter, super supple, absorb shock and conform to whatever objects impact it, reducing rolling resistance.
  • PPS - The Puncture Protection Strip is a special fabric placed between a tire's tread and casing to increase resistance to punctures.
  • 700x33 (33-622 ISO)
  • 1.5-2.5 BAR (22-36 PSI)
  • 320 TPI

Perfect mid+ tire

In my 4th-ish season of CX racing I try to train on files to get better at cornering and handling, but come race time I still struggle for grip on Grifos or anything lighter. So my functional range is somewhere in Grifo-Flandrien-Baby Limus-Limus depending on conditions.

These were great in mid-atlantic and new england with lots of off-camber grass that wore in throughout the day.
