Description

This tyre is also designed to be super-fast rolling with maximum control on dry hard pack, wet grass or even icy riding conditions

Technologies:
Challenge Handmade Clinchers (HCL): Our Handmade Clinchers are made from the same materials and processes as our handmade tubulars but instead of sewing an inner tube inside the casing is wrapped around an aramid bead to form a tire that fits on a clincher rim. The HCL is moulded flat, not in a horseshoe like a TLR or VCL. This shape allows the casing to naturally deform over surface imperfections and minimize rolling resistance. A tubeless tire is moulded in a U-shape to make the sidewalls rigid, so the system does not “burp” or lose air when it deforms after it encounters a surface imperfection. The tubeless tire’s stiff sidewall compromises its ability to equal a supple HCL with a latex inner tube.

Challenge Chicane XS 33 Open Tubular Cyclocross Tyre is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 10.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ActionDanny from the tyres are easy to fit, look and perform great on gravel and road. and cycling on a still day along hard surface they sound dreamy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by daveyboy79 from High quality good compromise for CX/gravel bike I'm sure a CX racer will be able to give an insight into racing performance, but hopefully I'll be able to give a leisure and fitness rider a different insight. Excellent tyres for on and off road basically, I previously compromised too much for off road with a gravel tyre, then compromised too much for the road with knobbly CX tyres, but these seem a much better compromise. You pay for them, but if you use a CX/Gravel bike on the road a lot but still want some off road capability, then these are the best I've found. After 400 miles of mostly road, with a few miles of canal towpath and one particularly muddy Gravelcross Sportive, I've only had one puncture. The Gravelcross Sportive highlighted the limitations of their grip in the mud, even at a low pressure, but I suspect they'll be very good off road in the summer when it's a bit dryer.

Rated 4 out of 5 by flybywire from Super supple cx clincher versatile fast rolling with superb shoulder grip. Nice size & volume where cushions rough terrain and will operate at low pressure below 20psi if required. Not tubeless ready or compatible as porous sidewalls. Reasonable weight at just over 300grams. The rubber compound is very grippy and resilient to cuts, very few punctures. Used for 2half cx seasons (this is the second tyre as first the tread became unbonded after 6months otherwise would have given 5stars) This tyre excels on dry/slightly wet grass and light mud. Both off-camber and banks,descents gives good control when light to intermediate conditions. Obviously not good on the rear when you need traction (ie steep climbs or wet/muddy). Certainly recommended as a lot faster than mud tyres in light conditions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ianrick from Fast lighweight tyre Bought this for the spring/ summer on my cross bike. Just completed a 100K ride on them over a mixture of on/off road and they roll great and handle the bumpy stuff well. Used them through the local woods and you get a nice compliant ride at about 35-40PSI. Use them with Challenge latex tubes and no punctures so far. Plan to do the Wiggle SDW 100 mile cross challenge later this year on them and so far think they will be a great choice for this event.

Q & A

Can a challenge chicane xs 33 open tubular cyclocross true fit on a standard 29er mountain bike rim?

Hi I'm looking for a fast semi slick tyre for my 29er mountain bike for commuting, off raid paths etc this looks to fit the bill but will it fit my 29er rims? I also don't know what open tubular means ? Does it need an inner tube or is it a tubeless tyre? Please advise. My bike is a trek x calibre 8 if that makes any difference.
Asked by: Mooseington
It'll fit 29er rims but is probably more at home on narrower rims - up to 23 mm or so. 'Open tubular' means it uses the same flexible material for the carcass as a tubular, but in a clincher form with beads so you need a tube and you can't seal them for tubeless use. They're a cyclocross racing tyre so they'll be fast and light but to be honest, they may be a bit skinny and delicate for commuting and everyday use.
