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 latex inner tube enhances ride feel at a low weight.
Remember you may need to use Challenge Presta Valve Extenders when mounting tubulars on deep-profile rims.
CHICANE Pro - Handmade Tubular
Challenge handmade tires combine comfort, performance, and grip in a way other tires can't match. Our 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.
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 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.
