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

The Challenge Limus Pro tyre is the absolute best for retaining grip in a heavy pack situation. You'll know as soon as you get the chance to put a set of them through their paces that considerable thought has gone into their design. The knobs have been given just the right amount of height to enable them to handle heavy mud really well and there are just the right amount of spaces between the knobs to squirt out the sticky mud which accumulates on the tyre. Quality is at its best with hand-made construction, SuperPoly casing and 300 threads per inch (300 TPI) being just some of the characteristics that make this tyre ideal for professional use. The great thing about this 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 Limus Pro 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.
