Challenge Strada Pro TLR tyre

The Challenge Strada in the Tubeless Ready version, the world-class tyre for the road: rolls fast and excels in wet corners with plenty of grip.

The Challenge Strada offers the same top-class features as the Criterium, but the tread pattern has been made slightly more aggressive to cope with wet and slippery roads. This makes the Strada the perfect tyre for long-distance races in unpredictable and rainy weather.

Pro Handmade Tubeless Ready with Superpoly casing

• 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 polyester with a higher TPI rating to produce cost-effective pro-level tyres.

Tubeless-Ready

• Perfect for use with tubeless systems: no inner tube, strong puncture protection and high efficiency.

Handcrafted natural rubber – Smart compound

• Challenge’s hand-crafted natural rubber compounds are formulated to offer the perfect balance of durability without compromising performance, comfort and control. Although Challenge tyres wear out 10–20 per cent faster than the competition’s, they score highly with significantly improved performance and a noticeably better riding experience 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 long life.

Puncture Protection System (PPS)

• 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.

Ganzo Puncture Protection System PPS GANZO

• The Ganzo Puncture Protection System is a highly flexible, even more tightly woven multi-component puncture protection system integrated between the tread and the carcass. The Ganzo PPS makes the tyre lighter, even more puncture-resistant and preserves the supple, comfortable character of Challenge tyres.
