Why Do Cyclists Choose the Challenge Grifo TLR for CX?

The Challenge Grifo TLR has built a reputation as one of the most versatile cyclocross tires ever made, performing across wet, dry, soft-packed, rocky, root-infested, and grassy courses without compromise. Fast-rolling center knobs keep you honest on the pedals and dialed on the brakes, while the tread design transitions seamlessly into the shoulder when you need cornering traction in variable terrain. It is the tire that serious CX racers reach for when conditions are uncertain and one wrong choice ends your day early.

Built on a 120TPI nylon casing, the Grifo TLR delivers the compliance and durability balance that all-around race use demands. Running in TLR configuration means you pair it with sealant for a puncture-resistant tubeless setup that still feels lively underfoot. Compatible with hooked rims only, sized at 700 x 33, and priced at $50.99. If you only have room in your race bag for one tire, the Grifo is it.
