Overview

What is the Challenge Limus Pro Handmade Clincher built for?

Limus is Latin for mud, and mud is where this tire belongs. Deep, aggressive, well-spaced knobs cut through muddy courses so you can carry speed through corners and off-camber sections and keep traction on the climbs. At the 2018 Cyclocross World Championships, the Limus won four of the five gold medals.

This is the PRO handmade clincher in 700 x 33 with tan sidewalls. It pairs a supple 300 TPI Super Polyester casing with Challenge's SMART compound and a PPS puncture protection layer between the tread and the casing. As a clincher, it is made to run with an inner tube on hooked rims.

How is the Limus Pro Clincher different from the Limus TLR?

Both use the same Limus mud tread. The Limus TLR is from Challenge's vulcanized RACE series with a 60 TPI nylon casing and runs tubeless. The Limus Pro Clincher is handmade with a 300 TPI Super Polyester casing and runs with a tube.

Is the Limus a good choice for dry courses?

Challenge built the Limus for mud and extreme conditions. For races where conditions keep changing between wet sand, sticky mud and dry, fast ground, Challenge's all-around tread is the Baby Limus.

Can I run it tubeless?

No. Challenge designs its clincher tires for use with inner tubes on hooked rims. For a tubeless Limus, look at the Limus TLR.
