Halo GXR 650 x 47mm Tan Wall TyreGXR is Halo's all-surface gravel tyre.It utilises a 60TPI tubeless carcass that results in a lightweight and reliable tyre. The carcass allows the tyre to conform to the terrain for maximum grip and comfort while brushing off a large amount of potential damage from objects on the trail.Incorporated into the central tread of the tyres are leading edges that improve braking, acceleration and traction in all conditions while retaining a flush rolling surface. These leading edges only come into play in the wet or when riding off-road. The tyre rolls with minimal resistance in the dry and when riding on smooth surfaces.The side tread comprises a series of spaced and specifically placed blocks. Combined with optimised siping, the aggressive side tread helps the GXR achieve enormous levels of grip when needed most.Angled mud and water-shedding channels within the shoulder tread produce a tyre that is truly all condition and multi-terrain. The GXR tyre also offers a large tread wrap for extreme lean angles and features dual compounds. The rubber compound in the centre is slightly firmer to increase rolling speeds and longevity. Whereas the edge compound is softer and, when combined with the large tread wrap, maximises grip yet further.Product DetailsCompound: Dual CompoundTubeless: YesTyre Size: 650bx47cUsage: Gravel/ Adventure/ BikepackingConditions: Road/ Hardpack/ GravelTPI: 60
Challenge Gravel Grinder Clincher MTB TyreThe Challenge Gravel Grinder is an off-road touring tyre, which features an aggressive SuperPoly tyre compound to provide exceptional rolling performance and traction whatever the riding conditions.

Coming equipped with a fast-rolling diamond centre, this tyre is perfect for all-around gravel and adventure riding.Features: Use: All Around Gravel Size: 700 Tyre Width: 36mm Internal Rim Width: 17-23mm TPI: 260 Bead: Aramid Casing: SuperPoly Flat Protection: Double PPS BAR: 3-9 PSI: 45-130 Weight: 440gTechnologies: Challenge Handmade Clinchers (HCL): These 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.

The WTB Raddler TCS gravel bike tyre is the radder version of WTB's famed Riddler tread pattern. It combines the expeditious efficiency of a short-knob centerline with get-rad traction of chunky outer knobs. Let’s call it a semi-slick, but one designed to increase confidence while you’re pushing the limits of gravel. Raddler is an excellent choice for loose terrain where traction takes priority, but efficiency is never far behind. Lean it over, take the inside line, brake late and stay in control with the Raddler. TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) TCS is WTB's standardised tubeless rim/tyre system designed to meet international ETRTO standards and ensure ultimate reliability. Pairing WTB’s legendary casings and tread compounds with a tubeless aramid bead provide increased traction and reliability of a tubeless tyre, at a lower weight than any tubed alternative.
