Strada Pro - Handmade TLR
The Strada TLR is Challenge’s go-to champion for efficiency and sublime road feel. This high performance tubeless ready 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 the Challenge SMARTprime tread compound, the fastest rubber yet.
Features of the Challenge Strada Pro TLR Folding Tire
TLR - Tubeless Ready
For perfect tubeless setup use Challenge Smart Tubeless Sealant
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.
Note: Tubeless Ready tires require tubeless compatible rims/wheels, tubeless valves, tubeless rim tape and sealing fluid for tubeless mounting. Sealant fluid is not required for tubeless UST tires, but is recommended for increased puncture protection. Installation should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
