Description
DescriptionThe Challenge Grifo is a handmade Italian cyclocross folding tyre of professional quality. In combination with a latex inner tube this tyre approximates the quality of a tube, but with the comfort of a clincher!
The feel, flexibility and stability of this tyre feel extremely good. It is the perfect training tyre, which feels just as at home at competitions.

Great all round grip
This tyre is almost perfect for multi surface cyclo cross racing. Good in most conditions and most surfaces bar deep mud. My only gripe, and why I can't give 10/10 is the fact it will not stay on my Stans Alpha rims due to the year drop shaped bead! Fine on every other rim I have tried but the slightest pressure from a dropped curb, cycle cross hurdle or flying remount pops it straight off the rim. My Scwalbe 1 tyres and Clement pdx don't have this issue.
Pros
- Great grip
- Multi conditions
- Multi weather
- Supple
Cons
- Will not stay on Stans Alpha rim
- Not "officially" tubeless
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.
Pros
- Silky feel
- Fast roling
- Light
- Look great
Cons
- Hard to get on first time
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
- Grip
- Lookrun at low pressure
Cons
- Can be hard to fit
- Have to be clean straight away to keep side walls
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.
Pros
- Quality race tyre
- Good feel
- Quick
Cons
- Not found one yet.
Excellent tyre
Great all round cyclocross tyre for dry courses, ok in damp, but go to Limus if likely to be muddy.
Pros
- Run at low pressures
- Look cool
Cons
- Relatively expensive
