Challenge Baby Limus Plus 700x33c Folding TyreHandmade for increased comfort and reduced rolling resistance, Baby Limus is lightning fast on mixed terrain. Mixed depth knobs provide reliable traction and grip on terrains as varied as wet sand, sticky mud or dry, fast, packed cross courses.Puncture protection comes in the form of a specially designed fabric that is placed between the tread and casing. This PPS (puncture protection strip is resistant to foreign object penetration and cuts.Challenge's handmade clinchers (HCL) tyres are made using the same materials and processes as their handmade tubular tyres. But instead of sewing an inner tube inside the tyre casing, they instead wrap the casing around an aramid bead to form a tyre that perfectly fits on clincher rims. Unlike other tyres, the HCL is moulded when flat, which allows the casing to deform over surface imperfections and minimise rolling resistance for more speed.Technical SpecificationsIntended use: All conditions, grass, mudSize: 700x33cColour: BlackCasing: SuperpolyTPI: 120Bead: AramidProtection: PPSMax.

Challenge Strada Open Road TyreThe famous all-round use, good rolling tread design in a supple, comfortable 25mm size, also now available in ‘Open Tubular’ clincher. Designed for all roads, this tyre gives you world-class fast rolling and cornering as well as maximum control as you clock up the miles.Features: Use: Road Racing, Big Rider, Rough RoadsSize: 700Tyre Width: 25mmInternal Rim Width: 13-17mmTPI: 300Bead: AramidCasing: SuperPolyFlat Protection: PPSBAR: 7-10PSI: 100-145Weight: 240gTechnologies: Challenge Handmade Clinchers (HCL): Our Handmade Clinchers are made from the same materials and processes as our handmade tubulars but instead of sewing an inner tube inside the casing is wrapped around an aramid bead to form a tire that fits on a clincher rim. The HCL is moulded flat, not in a horseshoe like a TLR or VCL. This shape allows the casing to naturally deform over surface imperfections and minimize rolling resistance. A tubeless tire is moulded in a U-shape to make the sidewalls rigid, so the system does not “burp” or lose air when it deforms after it encounters a surface imperfection. The tubeless tire's stiff sidewall compromises its ability to equal a supple HCL with a latex inner tube.Buy Challenge Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
