Challenge Strada Pro 700x25c Open Tubular Road Tyre Black

What's the point in training until you drop if you're going to be losing efficiency and speed in your tyres? Ride quality is paramount, and no other tyre offers the supple, responsive traction of a Challenge Open Tubular. To be more precise, no other tyre eliminates barriers in achieving your maximum speed and potential like the Challenge Strada Pro. It adapts quickly and effortlessly as the tyre changes shape while cornering and rolling, which increases road surface contact and grip while cornering, plus shock absorption as you pass over irregularities in the road. The Puncture Protection Strip (PPS) has received very favourable feedback especially from those who hate dealing with tyre punctures and it's probably fair to say that this tyre will make you very glad you chose it. Very glad indeed.

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. An open tubular can be installed on a rim for clinchers with inner tube.
