Challenge Elite PRO Handmade TLR tyre 2026
Challenge Elite PRO Handmade TLR tyre 2026
ELITE Pro breaks down the barriers of handcrafted performance, unlocking unmatched value and craftsmanship in this category. Great for riding miles all year round, ELITE is a great introduction to the world of craftsmanship. This handcrafted PRO version combines a flexible Super Polyester casing with the standard Smart Compound. The new Easy-Fit Shape moulding process gently preforms the tyre for easy fitting and inflation. Challenge handcrafted tyres combine comfort, performance and grip in a way that other tyres cannot match. Challenge handcrafted tyres are assembled step by step by skilled craftsmen. High-quality natural glues and latex coatings are applied to ultra-soft casing materials such as silk, cotton or polyester. The result is a tyre produced in small batches with a simply superior riding feel.
Everyday Luxury
The most durable Challenge handcrafted tyre is the PRO series, which offers unrivalled performance and riding feel compared to traditional vulcanised tyres. Perfect for the stresses of everyday riding.
CASING: Super Polyester 220TPI
Super Polyester with a higher thread count, between 220 and 300 tpi, is the most affordable hand-built casing. Polyester is much softer and more resistant than nylon, is waterproof and quite durable.
Compound: Smart
The standard SMART rubber compound offers the perfect balance between durability and performance. Handcrafted construction ensures that our tread compounds are never hardened or heated by the vulcanisation process.
Puncture Protection: PPS
The Puncture Protection System (PPS) is a strong, tightly woven fabric placed between the tread and the casing to increase puncture resistance.
