Challenge Limus Pro tubular tyre
The most widely used cyclocross tyre in competitive racing – absolute top quality.
Thanks to its deeper knobs, the Limus is perfect for muddy terrain and offers excellent grip. Minimal rolling resistance and increased comfort thanks to the 300 TPI Corespun cotton casing. The wider arrangement of the knobs allows dirt to be flushed out more easily. Equipped with a Puncture Protection Strip, an additional layer of high-strength fabric between the casing and the tyre to reduce the risk of punctures.
Challenge handmade tubular tyres:
An art in itself. Exclusively manufactured in Italy. The manufacturing process differs completely from that of a standard bicycle tyre. Many steps of meticulous handcrafting are required for every single handmade tubular. Only the most experienced staff are employed to assemble the individual components using a wide variety of assembly, gluing and sewing techniques.
Tubular tyres:
The tyres of the pros, offering clear advantages in terms of weight, puncture protection and excellent run-flat performance. The inner tube is integrated into the tyre, which is completely sealed, either stitched or glued. The tubular tyres themselves are glued to the rims. This is why tubular rims do not have a rim flange to hold the tyre in place. This prevents punctures and also allows for significantly lighter rims. The downside is fitting the tubular tyres. Gluing them with tubular tyre adhesive takes a lot of time and experience to ensure the tyre runs true. We recommend Tufo tubular tyre tape. This sticks almost as well as tubular tyre adhesive and fitting is relatively straightforward.
