GRAVEL GRINDER Race - Clincher
$35.99
The Gravel Grinder is our original and often-imitated fast gravel design. It combines a speedy diamond center for low rolling resistance with aggressive shoulder knobs that reliably hook-up when the terrain gets soft, muddy or a bit sketchy.
With our RACE series, we start where other tires stop - we utilize ultralight 120TPI nylon casings and superior tread compounds - to give our traditional vulcanized tires excellent ride feel and quality that is more affordable than our handmade offerings.
Challenge clincher tires are designed for use with tubes and hooked rims.
