4 STAGIONI XP - Handmade TLR
Key Features
CONSTRUCTION: Handmade
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.
SERIES: XP (Xtra Protection)
Rugged High Performance – Extra Protection under the tread and in the sidewalls make XP the choice for rough pavement and gravel routes where sidewall cuts are common.
CASING: Super Polyester 300TPI
Super Polyesters with higher thread counts of 220-300tpi make up our most affordable handmade casings. Polyester is much softer and stronger then nylon, is impervious to water and quite durable.
COMPOUND: SMARThydro
The same low rolling resistance of our SMARTprime compound with improved wet-weather grip. SMARThydro forms the basis of our most versatile tires.
CASING REINFORCEMENT: Silver + Gold
Gold Armor combines the Silver Armor sidewall reinforcement with a bead-to-bead internal casing layer that provides the ultimate resistance to damage.
