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
