Baby Limus Pro Tubular Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I have been gluing up the Baby Limus Pro Tubular Tire for races where the conditions are genuinely unpredictable, and the combination of the 300TPI Super Polyester casing and latex inner tube gives it a ride feel and traction character that is simply in a different category from anything clincher-based. It corners with confidence and feedback that makes you want to push harder into every technical section of the course."

There is a reason the world's best cyclocross racers still reach for tubulars when the course gets serious, and the Challenge Baby Limus Pro Tubular Tire captures exactly what makes that format so compelling. The combination of a 300TPI Super Polyester casing and an integrated latex inner tube produces a ride feel and compliance that no clincher or tubeless setup can fully replicate. The latex tube enhances the casing's natural suppleness while keeping weight low, and the result is a tire that conforms to the ground with a sensitivity and traction feedback that translates directly into faster, more committed cornering at race pace.

The Smart compound maintains the grip and durability balance Challenge is known for, and because the handmade construction process never exposes the rubber to the heat of vulcanization, that compound stays soft and responsive through the full life of the tire. PPS puncture protection adds a tightly-woven fabric layer between the tread and casing to guard against flats on debris-strewn courses, and the all-condition tread pattern handles wet sand, sticky mud, and dry fast sections with equal composure. Assembled step by step by experienced craftspeople using natural glues and latex coatings, the Baby Limus Pro Tubular Tire is a small-batch tire with a race-day feel that is genuinely on a different level.
