Pro Handmade Clincher with Superpoly carcass

• Handmade tyres combine a multitude of outstanding features to offer maximum comfort and minimal rolling resistance. Carefully selected materials are used in the various tyre grades depending on performance requirements. Soft, supple casings quickly adapt to the shape of the ground when rolling and cornering. This increases ground contact and grip and improves shock absorption on poor road surfaces. Soft, natural rubber treads are combined with lightweight, flexible puncture protection.
• Polyester is the most cost-effective of all hand-built casings. It is a synthetic fabric that is very strong and waterproof, offering significantly greater flexibility and durability than comparable nylon materials. Challenge uses high-quality polyester or SuperPoly, a polyester with a higher TPI rating, to produce cost-effective pro-level tyres.

Handcrafted Natural Rubber – Smart Hardness

• Challenge’s hand-built natural rubber treads are formulated to offer the perfect balance of durability without compromising performance, comfort and control. Although Challenge tyres wear out 10–2 per cent faster than the competition’s, they score highly with significantly improved performance and a noticeably better ride feel throughout their entire lifespan. Depending on requirements, the tyres are fitted with rubber compounds of varying softness.

• The Smart hardness grade is the version of Challenge’s natural rubber compounds optimised for a long service life.

Puncture Protection System

• The PPS (Puncture Protection System) consists of one or more layers of fabric between the tread and the tyre carcass. PPS significantly increases the tyre’s resistance to punctures, thereby offering maximum reliability.
