Perfect off-road tyre
For a while now, this has been my first choice tyre for under my cross bike. The tyre gives great grip on dry road surfaces. Even soft and moderately wet surfaces are no problem for this tyre. In terms of looks, these tyres are of course beautiful. Note. The sides of the tyres do not last very long. Putting them on the rim for the first time is also quite a challenge.

Top all-round band
Been using this tyre in combination with the latex inner tube for years for cross races and gravel rides really a top tyre in all conditions! Only putting the tyre on is a horror!

First 'ride' went well!
Good tyre with sufficient grip and rolling resistance is not too bad either. Dug 100k+ ride with it including the MTB route Zeddam. Went perfectly. Also had no problems fitting the tyre.

Drives perfectly
I bought these tyres because this was Mantel's choice on cyclocross. and has been a good choice, the same I have with my MTB tyres also combination advice from Mantel.

Great first impression in terms of grip and rolling resistance!
After some deliberation, my choice fell on these tyres. Despite some 'horror stories' in the reviews regarding mounting the tyres, in the end this was not that bad. I haven't tested the tyres extensively yet, but the first impressions in terms of rolling resistance and grip are very good. In addition, the tyres look very nice, which is also not unimportant.

Perfect tyre for cyclocross enthusiasts
Nice and very high-quality outer tyre for the cross bike. Been riding with these for 12 years and never had a puncture. Ordered a new set because they did wear out after many kilometres. Never hesitated to use the same ones again.

It makes it easier for me to get to places I have never been before.
Purchased these tyres for on my Canyon Endurace AL 7.0 so that I can ride with more grip on the bike path in autumn and winter, but also ride some gravel. This goes extremely well. The tyres mount fine on my DT Swiss wheels. Ride very pleasant, too.

Good tyre, with plenty of grip on various surfaces.
A good tyre, not cheap. Is sensitive on the sidewall to sharper stones, though.

Fantastic tyre
I used these tyres all of last year for cyclocross and they are fantastic. It is a great all rounder and coped with pretty much everything all season.

Great choice of tyre for autumn Cx
I tend to really research the hell out of every product I buy. I went through all sorts of forums, took advice and it always pointed to these tyres. Yes they are a few quid more than your next best tyre but to get what you pay for. Silky ride and great grip. I used them with latex tubes and can not fault the ride. Mantel best the opposition by about £5 per tyre. Well packaged and well received. I’ll be getting some Limus’ for the really muddy stuff in November.

The best tyre for most conditions
The Challenge Grifo open tubular is my choice of tyre for all occasions until the real thick mud arrives and can be run at low pressure when fitted with the challenge latex cx tubes with less chance of pinch punctures they also look cool on the bike
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Amazing tyre with great feel and feedback. Performs better than expected in heavy mud.
Use with latex inner tubes for the best clincher setup ever.

Excellent tyre
Great all round cyclocross tyre for dry courses, ok in damp, but go to Limus if likely to be muddy.

Perfect tyres for cyclocross
Fantastic tyres! Awesome grip in wet-ish mud and roll really fast on tarmac. These tyres are perftect for cyclocross. I only gave these tyres a 9 As they were very difficult to install.

Really great tyre especially when used with Latex Tubes
I've only started racing Cross this season and had seen a lot of racers using Challenge tyres. I can't afford to move up to tubulars yet, but for a clincher tyre these really do a great job especially when used with Challenge Latex inner tubes. A good trick to fitting; I was advised to fit a regular tube in them for a few days to let the tyres gain a good shape before swapping out for the latex tubes. Had really good grip in some wet, muddy and tricky situations. Can't wait to race on them again!
