The new endurance tire from Hutchinson. Complete peace of mind, all year round. Created after extensive research and development from Hutchinson, the Challenger has been designed as a ‘do-it-all’ tire capable of the demands of everyday training, Gran Fondo riding and ultra-endurance adventures. The Challenger is a tire with no compromises, delivering exceptional performance in terms of longevity, comfort and safety. The tire uses a combination of a slightly thicker tread and high density fibre reinforcement technology to offer unrivalled puncture protection and an incredible lifespan that has been tested up to 8000km. All of this comes with hardly any weight penalty, a 30 mm tire weighing in at just 320 g, even lighter than the competition. A new Hutchinson’s Bi-Compound rubber offers a harder compound in the centre of the tire designed to resist cuts and abrasion. This is matched with a softer lateral compound and grooved tread for superior grip when cornering on both wet and dry roads. A 66 TPI casing offers the perfect ratio of weight, protection and rolling resistance.
