The Challenge Chicane Pro is an ideal choice for competitive cyclocross riders seeking a versatile, high-speed tyre that performs reliably across mixed terrain including hardpack, wet grass, and light ice. Engineered with a 300 TPI SuperPoly casing and the proprietary SMART rubber compound, this tyre offers an exceptionally supple ride quality that mimics cotton while maintaining high durability and puncture resistance. While it delivers excellent traction in varied conditions, users should be aware that as a professional-grade handmade tyre, it requires careful pressure management to optimize its performance.

The recommended pressure range for the Challenge Chicane Pro is 30-40 psi.
The Chicane Pro is designed as a folding bead handmade tyre; consult your specific rim and sealant manufacturer if attempting a tubeless setup.
SuperPoly offers a ride feel very similar to corespun cotton but adds water resistance and increased durability, making it more suitable for varying weather conditions.
PPS Ganzo is a puncture protection strip that uses a multi-component fabric to prevent flats while maintaining the tyre's natural flexibility.
While designed primarily for cyclocross, the Chicane Pro's durability and traction make it capable of handling light gravel and mixed-surface routes.
Check your current pressure; ensure you are within the 30-40 psi range, adjusting slightly downward toward 30 psi for a more supple feel on rougher sections.
Ensure the tyre bead is positioned in the deepest part of the rim channel while mounting and check that the inner tube is not pinched.
For optimal results, ensure the tyre is mounted on a compatible 700c rim. Because of the handmade nature and folding bead, take care to seat the bead evenly around the rim circumference before inflating to the recommended 30-40 psi. Avoid using metal tyre levers that might damage the casing; plastic levers are preferred. To maintain the life of the tyre, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After riding in wet or salty conditions, a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth will prevent premature degradation of the synthetic casing.
