The Baby Limus is Challenge's all-around cyclocross tire designed for races with constantly changing conditions. This tire is ready to take on wet sand, sticky mud or dry, fast courses.
This handmade SETA EXTRA (Ultra) tubular uses an ultra-compliant sealed Silk 1000TPI casing for unmatched performance with our SmartSoft Compound tread and a Latex Inner Tube with 60mm valve stem.
Remember you may need to use Challenge Presta Valve Extenders when mounting tubulars on deep-profile rims.

Challenge handmade tires combine comfort, performance, and grip in a way other tires can't match. Our handmade tires are assembled step-by-step by experienced craftspeople. High quality natural glues and latex coatings are applied to ultra-supple casing materials like silk, cotton, or polyester. The result is a small-batch tire with a ride feel that is simply on a different level.
Best of the Best – The extreme expense of silk (seta, in Italian) construction means ULTRA series tires are primarily for World Championship and Olympic competitions.
Silk is a strong, soft, natural fiber with thread counts over 1000tpi. The ability of our compliant sealed-silk tires to conform to even the smallest surface feature gives them great traction and very low rolling resistance.
A more compliant rubber compound fine-tuned by World Champions for a smooth ride and maximum grip. SMARTsoft is also used on the special tires we developed with British Cycling for their Track program to offer the lowest-possible rolling resistance..
Our Puncture Protection System (PPS) is a tough, tightly-woven fabric placed between the tread and casing to increase puncture resistance.
