Baby Limus Pro Clincher Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I have been racing the Baby Limus Pro Clincher Tire on courses that swing between sticky mud and dry fast sections in the same lap, and the Smart compound handles every transition without losing grip or predictability. The handmade Super Polyester casing has a suppleness that genuinely changes how the tire conforms to the ground and that translates directly into confidence at race pace."

Cyclocross courses do not wait for ideal conditions, and neither does the Challenge Baby Limus Pro Clincher Tire. Designed as Challenge's all-around cyclocross tire, it is built to stay competitive when the course shifts from wet sand to sticky mud to dry hardpack within the same race. The Smart compound strikes the right balance between durability and grip, and because Challenge's handmade construction never subjects the rubber to the heat and pressure of vulcanization, that compound stays soft, responsive, and true to its intended character from the first lap to the last.

The 300TPI Super Polyester casing is where the Baby Limus Pro Clincher Tire separates itself from conventionally built tires. Assembled step by step by skilled craftspeople using high-quality natural glues and latex coatings, the casing delivers a suppleness that allows the tire to conform to variable terrain in a way that machine-made tires simply cannot replicate. The result is a ride feel and level of traction feedback that translates directly into faster cornering and more confident bike handling when conditions are at their most unpredictable. The integrated PPS puncture protection system adds a tightly-woven fabric layer between the tread and casing to keep race-ending flats out of the equation, making the Baby Limus Pro Clincher Tire a tire you can race hard and trust completely.
