The Challenge Limus Pro Edition TLR Cyclocross Tire is a tire designed to master the most demanding racing conditions, where mud, slick surfaces, and unpredictable terrain often determine the outcome of a race. Its very name, “Limus,” meaning mud in Latin, captures its essence and purpose. Built specifically for cyclocross riders who thrive in the worst conditions, the Limus Pro Edition delivers the traction and control necessary to excel when courses become waterlogged, rutted, and deeply challenging. Its aggressive tread design features deep, well-spaced knobs that penetrate soft ground with ease, clearing mud efficiently to ensure consistent grip. This design makes it an indispensable choice for powering up slippery climbs, holding lines through off-camber sections, and carrying speed smoothly through corners where other tires might falter.

Proven in the highest levels of competition, the Limus has earned its reputation as a true race-winner. At the 2018 Cyclocross World Championships, it played a pivotal role in victories across the muddiest sections of the course, helping riders claim four out of five gold medals. Such performance at the sport’s pinnacle underscores its pedigree and validates its standing as a tire engineered for athletes who demand excellence when conditions are at their worst.

This Team Edition (TE) handmade model elevates the Limus even further. It combines a supple 320 TPI sealed corespun cotton casing with Challenge’s advanced SmartSoft natural rubber tread compound. The result is a tire that not only grips relentlessly in treacherous terrain but also offers an unmatched ride quality. The cotton casing ensures flexibility and responsiveness, reducing rolling resistance while maintaining comfort and control over uneven, unpredictable surfaces. Meanwhile, the SmartSoft tread balances durability with precise traction, giving riders the confidence to push harder through technical sections without compromise.... Read More
