Chicane Pro Tubeless Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I have been racing the Chicane Pro Tubeless Tire on dry hardpack and wet grass courses where rolling speed is the priority, and the fast center tread combined with the 300TPI Super Polyester casing delivers a level of rolling efficiency and feedback that sets it apart from anything in the vulcanized tier. The tubeless setup runs lower pressures without sacrificing casing integrity, and that extra compliance makes a real difference on frozen or slick surfaces where you need the tire to stay planted."

Not every cyclocross course is a muddy slog, and when the race is fast, dry, and technical, the Challenge Chicane Pro Tubeless Tire is the one to reach for. Designed specifically for maximum rolling speed on dry hardpack, wet grass, and icy conditions, the Chicane features a fast-rolling center tread with enough lateral bite to hold a line through corners where other fast-rolling tires begin to push wide. The Smart compound balances speed and durability in a formulation that never gets hardened by the vulcanization process, staying soft and responsive through a full season of hard racing.

The 300TPI Super Polyester casing brings Challenge's handmade quality to a tubeless-ready format that is both hookless rim compatible and UCI compliant with most rims up to 23mm internal width. Assembled step by step by skilled craftspeople using natural glues and latex coatings, the casing delivers the suppleness and ride feel that makes Challenge's handmade lineup so highly regarded, now in a tubeless setup that allows lower running pressures for added traction and compliance on slick or frozen terrain. PPS puncture protection adds a tightly-woven barrier between the tread and casing, and Challenge Smart Tubeless Sealant is recommended for a perfect airtight setup that holds through the demands of race day.
