GETAWAY Race - TLR
Gravel tread designed to take you beyond where the pavement ends, to where the terrain is less maintained. Its design includes a tightly packed, fast-rolling center for straight line control and speed, open transition knobs for either sandy or wet terrains, and more aggressive shoulder knobs for controlled cornering and stability in loose conditions.
With our RACE construction, we start where other tires stop - we utilize ultralight 60TPI Nylon Superlight casings and superior tread compounds - to give our traditional vulcanized tires excellent ride feel and quality that is more affordable than our handmade offerings.
This Challenge TLR model is hookless rim compatible. For perfect tubeless setup use Challenge Smart Tubeless Sealant
