The Chicane is a super fast rolling tire providing maximum control on dry hardpack, wet grass, and icy conditions.
This handmade PRO version combines a supple, 300TPI Super Polyester casing with our standard Smart Compound. A butyl inner tube is economical and maintains pressure for day-to-day training.
Remember you may need to use Challenge Presta Valve Extenders when mounting tubulars on deep-profile rims.
What are the features that make it awesome?
Everyday Luxury – Our workhorse handmade tire is the PRO series, delivering performance and ride feel unmatched by traditional vulcanized tires. Perfect for the rigors of daily riding.
Super Polyesters with higher thread counts of 220-300tpi make up our most affordable handmade casings. Polyester is much softer and stronger then nylon, is impervious to water and quite durable.
Our handmade Super Polyester, Corespun Cotton and Silk casings are tougher than Nylon and offer a margin of increased cut resistance when compared to standard vulcanized tires.
Our standard rubber compound, SMART is the perfect balance of durability and performance. Our handmade construction ensures that our tread compounds are never hardened or heated by the vulcanization process.
Our Puncture Protection System (PPS) is a tough, tightly-woven fabric placed between the tread and casing to increase puncture resistance.
