Challenge Limus Team Edition 28' tyre

Limus means mud in Latin, which is exactly where this tire dominates

Deep, aggressive, and well-spaced knobs cut through muddy conditions so you can flow through corners, zip thru off-camber sections, and powering up inclines with ease. A great tire for truly extreme conditions like the 2018 CX World Championships where it won four of five gold medals. This handmade TE (Team Edition) version combines a supple, 320TPI sealed corespun cotton casing with natural rubber SmartSoft tread for ultimate traction, cornering confidence and ride quality. A seamless latex inner tube improves grip at lower pressures.

Construction: Handmade
Challenge handmade tires combine comfort, performance, and grip in a way other tires can't match. The 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.

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

Casing: Corespun Cotton 320TPI
Corespun Cotton with thread counts of 320-350tpi is naturally softer and more supple than polyester but is more likely to absorb water so we seal the cotton sidewalls for increased durability.

Compound: SMARTsoft
A more compliant rubber compound fine-tuned by Cyclocross World Champions for a smooth ride and maximum grip. SMARTsoft is also used on the special tires we developed with British Cycling for their Track program.

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