Challenge Baby Limus Pro 700x33c Open Tubular CX Tyre Black/Tan

The Baby Limus from Challenge Tires is big news in the CycloCross community. Featuring super-aggressive tall knobs and ample spacing to chew through even the worst mud it's ideal to be used in soft pack terrains. To help squirt off sticky mud more easily and lower its rolling resistance the tyre comes with a specific open design of its central knobs which significantly reduces the clean-up time required. The great thing about this hand-made tyre is that being an open tubular it can be installed on a rim for clinchers with inner tube without having to fuss with rim glues and time consuming clean-ups' afterwards. Whether you're a Pro or just a hard core enthusiast, the Challenge Baby Limus is just the tyre for you.

What is an Open Tubular?
The Open Tubular is constructed using the same process, casing and tread materials as a standard tubular. The difference is that instead of sewing the casing together (closed), the sides of the tubular casing are folded around Aramid fibre cords to produce beads. This 'open' design performs like a tubular, yet conveniently mounts like a standard clincher tyre. If combined with a latex inner tube the ride becomes even closer to that of a tubular, offering excellent traction and cornering, low rolling resistance and shock absorption.
