Challenge Criterium RS TLR 700x28c Tyre in Black/White

Brand:Challenge

Code:CH-00154

The Criterium RS improves speed, grip, and rolling resistance while providing legendary control and a supple ride thanks to its handmade construction.

Criterium RS is available in the TE (Team Edition) 350tpi Corespun Cotton casing for improved weight and compliance.

This Challenge TLR model is hookless rim compatible. For perfect tubeless setup, use Challenge Smart Tubeless Sealant.

Challenge handmade tires combine comfort, performance, and grip in a way other tires cannot match. These 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.

Race Day Performance – The go-to for professional athletes, TEAM EDITION tires are a step up in casings and compounds and are the ideal balance of features for special efforts.

Corespun Cotton with thread counts of 320-350tpi is naturally softer and more supple than polyester but is more likely to absorb water, so Challenge seals the cotton sidewalls for increased durability.

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

Features:

  • Puncture Protection System (PPS) is a tough, tightly-woven fabric placed between the tread and casing to increase puncture resistance.
