Designed for everything from wet, sticky mud to fast, dry packed courses, this tyre excels in unpredictable conditions where reliability is paramount.

FAQs

Is this tyre UCI legal?

Yes, provided the tyre is installed on rims with an internal width of up to 23mm.

Can I use these tyres with tubes?

Yes, the tyre is compatible with inner tubes, though it is optimized for tubeless performance.

What is the recommended sealant?

Challenge recommends using any high-quality, ammonia-free tubeless sealant compatible with road and gravel tyres.

How often should I add sealant?

It is recommended to check and replenish your sealant every 3 to 6 months, depending on climate and frequency of use.

Are these tyres hookless compatible?

Yes, these tyres meet the latest ETRTO and ISO standards for hookless rim compatibility.

How does the 300 TPI casing help in racing?

The high TPI (threads per inch) count provides a more supple, flexible sidewall, which allows the tyre to adapt to rough terrain, improving grip and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty seating the tyre bead

Ensure the bead is pushed deep into the center channel of the rim and use a soapy water solution around the edges to help it slide into position.

Air pressure loss after installation

Check that the tubeless tape is applied correctly and ensure you have added the recommended amount of sealant for your tyre size.

Tyre feels sluggish

Check your tyre pressure. Since this is a supple 300 TPI tyre, even a small drop in PSI can significantly change the rolling feel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High thread count casing offers an exceptionally supple ride feel
  • Tubeless-ready design reduces rolling resistance and risk of pinch flats
  • Hookless rim compatibility ensures future-proof setup

Cons

  • Handmade construction can be more challenging to seat initially
  • Specific rim width requirements for UCI racing compliance
  • Requires proper tubeless sealant maintenance for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, follow these guidelines:

  1. Rim Compatibility: Verify your wheelset internal rim width is 23mm or less if you are racing under strict UCI regulations.
  2. Installation: Given the handmade construction, ensure the tyre beads are centered in the rim channel during installation to make seating easier. Use a floor pump or a CO2 inflator to snap the bead into place.
  3. Tubeless Sealant: Always use a high-quality tubeless sealant to ensure an airtight seal and to activate the puncture-sealing properties of the tyre.
  4. Pressure Management: Regularly check tyre pressure before each ride, as pressures fluctuate based on temperature and riding style.
  5. Cleaning: After racing in mud or sand, rinse with water and a soft brush to remove abrasive particles that could accelerate casing wear.
