About Challenge
In 1990, Max Brauns was driven by a passion for hand-crafted performance tyres and moved to Thailand, where the World's best natural rubber (rather than artificially-produced petroleum-based rubber) could be sourced. In 2000, Challengetech was born.

The ELITE Pro breaks down barriers to handmade performance, unlocking value and artisan quality that are unmatched in this category. Great for year-round miles, ELITE is a terrific introduction to Handmade.
This handmade PRO version combines a supple Super Polyester casing with Challenge's standard Smart Compound.
Challenge clincher tyres are designed for use with tubes and hooked rims.
Features
- Construction: Handmade: Challenge handmade tyres combine comfort, performance, and grip in a way other tyres can't match. Their handmade tyres are assembled step-by-step by experienced craftspeople. High quality natural glues and latex coatings are applied to ultra-supple casing materials like silk, cotton, or polyester. The result is a small-batch tyre with a ride feel that is simply on a different level
- Series: PRO: Everyday Luxury this workhorse handmade tyre is the PRO series, delivering performance and ride feel unmatched by traditional vulcanised tyres. Perfect for the rigors of daily riding
- Casing: Super Polyester 220TPI: Super Polyesters with higher thread counts of 220-300tpi make up their most affordable handmade casings. Polyester is much softer and stronger then nylon, is impervious to water and quite durable
- Compound: SMART: Their standard rubber compound, SMART is the perfect balance of durability and performance. The handmade construction ensures that the tread compounds are never hardened or heated by the vulcanisation process
- Puncture Protection: PPS: The Puncture Protection System (PPS) is a tough, tightly-woven fabric placed between the tread and casing to increase puncture resistance
