Description
Challenge presents their latest gravel tread, the Getaway, which has been designed to take you beyond where the pavement ends, to where the terrain is less maintained. Its versatile tread design includes a tightly packed, fast rolling center section for real straight line control and impressive speed, with open transition knobs for either sandy or wet terrains, that lead to more aggressive shoulder knobs for controlled cornering and stability in loose conditions. In other words, this will be a great tire option for courses where speed is import but the terrain and weather conditions require more capability overall. The same characteristics will make this handmade Challenge TLR tire an ideal tire for the allrounder who loves to go out and ride gravel fast and appreciates a supple yet protective tire that can handle everything you throw at it.
The updated Pro Series TLR tires from Challenge are handmade, and features the super supple Open Tubular (clincher) 260 tpi Super Poly Corraza Armor casing. Challenge refers to this Getaway as an "Open Tubular" TLR model. Yes this make it a little confusing, but what they really mean is the 260tpi handmade casing it built to be supple - like a tubular. This gives the tire an ability to roll over pavement, rough surfaces and small rocks for a smooth, comfortable and fast ride. The PPS2 protection belt helps to prevent punctures, matching the supple nature of the casing, while the Corraza Armor casing adds sidewall abrasion resistance, which is crucial at lower pressures over rougher surfaces.
