Good band, but doubts about whether Italian craftsmanship is all in line
Good in corners, can take more risk than grifo. Roll resistance also fine on the road
Pros & Cons
1 / 5
Disappointed by the after-sales service of this site which takes its customers for incompetents.
After several correspondences with the after-sales service about the impossibility of mounting the tire on my rim, the latter advised me to have my tire mounted by a bicycle mechanic. As he couldn't do it, I decided to buy the bbb clamp also recommended by the after-sales service. When I tried to mount the tire with the clamp, I literally bent my rim. I can't wait to hear back from the experts at the Mantel site, who will surely tell me once again that I don't know how to mount a tire after 17 years on the bike.

Very satisfied with the seller's service and the equipment.
Smooth operation. Tires perform very well on muddy ground, easy to mount in tubless. Only problem in the field: on the second outing, didn't withstand a large flint that nicked the sidewall of the rear tire (but no tire would have withstood it). So I recommended the same one.

Meets expectations
For cyclo-cross use in wet conditions. Excellent grip

Nice that this specialty cyclocross tire comes in a tubeless version.
Fitted tubeless without any problems. Falls wide, on a 23 mm tubeless rim I measure 37 mm tire width. Which is fine for me, but should you be bothered by UCI rules then...maybe use a narrower rim.

Very good tyre but difficult to fit
Very good tyre, but rather complicated to install. Make sure you have 2 good tyre levers in case of a puncture.

Great cx tyre for all conditions

Lots of grip in the mud
Good tyre with plenty of grip. It goes on easily and is easy to get tubeless. Although it needed extra sealant to make it airtight. Especially from the sidewalls a lot of liquid ran out at first. The tyre feels a bit slower than grifos.

Lots of grip, and smooth tyre.
Tyre is a bit tight because it can be tubeless, but is super supple and gives great grip. Really top of the line for greasy mud.

High-grip mud tyre
Recommended for wet surfaces and mud. I haven't had/found them any better for those conditions. For dry and hard ground too coarse and less steering. Grifo is the better compromise if you don't want to change when conditions change Points deduction for difficult tubeless, takes 1 week to close.

Very good straps
Very good tyres with a lot of grip. Have already ridden them on heavy mud lanes and mtb routes with lots of grip and the tyre pressure remains stable.

Nice grip, leaky sidewalls
All the grip, as you would expect. Inflated tubeless with just a track pump (on Hunt 4 Season rims). BUT Lots of little pinholes in the sidewall, particularly where the tubes were creased in transit. Eventually sealed after laid flat overnight. Give yourself a few days before a race to make sure the sealant has done its job.

Great set of mud tyres - perfect for the season - great traction
As ever, another great set of tyres from Challenge - set them up as tubeless and they're doing a great job...slightly slack when first set up on the rim and needed an extra wrap of rim tape but since then they've been great, have held air well and performed brilliantly

Good tyres definitely buy them again
Great tyres just a little difficult to get to seat on the rim. Great service from Mantel once again

Wide top for competition
Mounted on wide carbon rims, I'm at 34 mm or 35.5 at 2 bars, so I can't compete in national competitions!

Great tyre for mud
Very good breaking-in in the mud.

Great Grip
Tyre has great grip in mud, espcialy on the corners. I did puncture it in its first race, but I think that is rider error rather than a problem with the tyre.

Super grippy and a great tubeless ride.
First time using tubeless cx tyres and these were mega in muddy conditions. Was able to confidently run at lower psi and cannot fault the grip or ride. 10/10
