Strada Pro - Handmade Clincher

The Strada is Challenge’s go-to champion for efficiency and sublime road feel. This high performance tire combines a supple rounded profile that takes the sting out of rough pavement with a construction that provides maximum control and very low rolling resistance. 

This Handmade PRO version combines a supple Super Polyester casing with our SMARTprime tread compound, our fastest rubber yet.

Challenge clincher tires are designed for use with inner tubes and hooked rims.

Features of the Challenge Strada Pro Clincher Folding Tire

Easy-Fit Shape:

A new moulding process pre-forms the tire for easier installation and inflation. The gently rounded easy-fit shape remains clear of the rim channel, simplifying mounting of the second bead.

Construction: Handmade

Challenge handmade tires combine comfort, performance, and grip in a way other tires can't match. The handmade tires are assembled step-by-step by experienced craftspeople. High quality natural glues and latex coatings are applied to ultra-supple casing materials like silk, cotton, or polyester. The result is a small-batch tire with a ride feel that is simply on a different level.

Series: Pro

Everyday Luxury - The Challenge workhorse handmade tire is the PRO series, delivering performance and ride feel unmatched by traditional vulcanized tires. Perfect for the rigors of daily riding.

Casing: Super Polyester 300TPI

Super Polyesters with higher thread counts of 220-300tpi make up the Challenge most affordable handmade casings. Polyester is much softer and stronger then nylon, is impervious to water and quite durable.

Compound: SMARTprime

Delivers lower rolling resistance than the Challenge basic SMART compound without sacrificing traction or durability. SMARTprime rubber compound forms the basis of the Challenge fastest road tires yet.

Puncture Protection: PPS Ganzo

PPS Ganzo is the ultimate single-layer puncture-protection fabric. PPS Ganzo offers greater security while maintaining low weight and rolling resistance.
