Getaway Pro Tubeless Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I have been riding the Getaway Pro Tubeless Tire on long gravel days where the surface swings between packed dirt roads and loose intermediate gravel, and the SMARTplus compound and low-profile tread hook up better in variable conditions than I expected from such a fast-rolling pattern. The tubeless setup lets me run lower pressures that unlock the full compliance of the 260TPI Super Polyester casing, and the difference in ride quality over rough sections is immediately noticeable regardless of which width you choose."

Gravel riding rewards the rider who picks the right tire for the terrain, and the Challenge Getaway Pro Tubeless Tire makes that choice straightforward for most of the conditions most riders actually encounter. Built as Challenge's most popular gravel tire, it is optimized for hardpack, intermediate gravel, and firm to loose dirt, which covers the majority of what gravel routes and races serve up on any given day. Rated five out of five by Bicycle Rolling Resistance with a Highly Recommended designation, it backs up its versatility claim with independently verified rolling efficiency that makes it fast on the sections where speed is available and grippy where traction is demanded.

Running tubeless across the 36C, 40C, and 45C size range opens up the full performance potential of the 260TPI Super Polyester casing, allowing lower pressures that let the tire conform and grip across variable terrain rather than skipping and deflecting over it. The 36C keeps the build light and fast for hardpack-dominant routes, the 40C hits the sweet spot of versatility for mixed terrain riding and racing, and the 45C adds volume and compliance for rougher and more demanding surfaces where cushioning and traction matter most. SMARTplus compound is specifically formulated for the demands of gravel and rough surface riding, offering greater cut resistance and longer-lasting tread edges than standard Smart compound while retaining the softness that Challenge's handmade construction preserves by never subjecting the rubber to the heat of vulcanization. PPS2 double-layer puncture protection adds two tightly-woven fabric barriers between the tread and casing to guard against the sharp gravel and embedded debris that define the surfaces this tire was built for. Challenge Smart Tubeless Sealant is recommended for optimal setup and long-term airtight reliability.
