This tyre features a bold 120 tpi Nylon casing, vulcanised for added protection. Plus, it stands up brilliantly to the rough and tumble of such riding for a confidence-inspiring performance on every outing. Giving you fast rolling and cornering, this world-class tyre is a perfect upgrade for riders who want maximum control in all riding conditions. Technologies: Vulcanized Tubeless Ready (VTR): The highest level of performance offered by car, truck and motorcycle tyre manufacturers is a vulcanized tubeless system. While this is an old technology for cars and trucks, for bicycles it is relatively new and did not even have an internationally accepted design standard (ISO or ETRTO) until recent years. By eliminating the inner tube it is possible to lower the weight and create a softer, more comfortable, more efficient, lower rolling resistance tyre system by running lower tyre pressure. Challenge started introducing Vulcanized Tubeless Ready (VTR) tyres in recent years because the ISO and ETRTO standards for proper VTR tire and rim fit have finally been completed. These standards ensure your safety and your ability to fit and service the tyres with hand tools.
Tailored for hard-packed terrain conditions, this XC tyre is engineered for the next generation of racing by delivering quick acceleration and maximum momentum. It is used by Michelin's cross country pros for racing at the highest level. Built for speed, this model provides more speed thanks to its semi-slick tread pattern. It also features a high-quality Gum-X compound that uses a series of rubbers to optimise the balance between rolling efficiency and traction. This makes it more than capable of enduring all the demands that come with intense cross country racing. Cross Shield² Casing Thanks to this tyre's Cross Shield² casing, it offers extra protection by preventing both tread and sidewall damage during racing. This makes it a reliable choice for conquering your way around the most demanding of course conditions. Tubeless Ready XC Racing Tyre All set for modern XC racing, this model benefits from tubeless ready technology, so you can use it with or without an inner tube provided that a tubeless wheel is used, the maximum pressure is not exceeded, sealant is added, and the tyre pressure is checked before each ride. By running it tubeless, you'll enjoy performance advantages such as the ability to run lower pressures for increased stability on mixed terrains, lower rolling resistance and fewer chances of flats or punctures.
