GETAWAY is the latest gravel tread designed to take you beyond where the pavement ends, to where the terrain is less maintained. Its design includes a tightly packed, fast rolling center for straight line control and speed, open transition knobs for either sandy or wet terrains, and more aggressive shoulder knobs for controlled cornering and stability in loose conditions.
With the growing demand for more robust Gravel tires, Challenge has developed a new technology applied to handmade construction. The GETAWAY is now launched with Xtra Protection (XP) for more endurance rides on rougher terrains. The tire is part of the new reinforced Gravel XP Series, which focuses on all those looking for an overall robust and durable tire, without compromising comfort and handling. The GETAWAY XP will be available in 40 and 45mm Handmade Tubeless Ready - Hookless compatible. The brand-new tire will be unveiled at Unbound Gravel on June 3, 2023!
Features (#)
Corazza Armor Silver
For the Challenge Gravel range, the first step taken was to improve side protection. The casing is extended round the bead and up to the tread obtaining a construction with additional protection in the sides, which is the most exposed part of the tire. This means the tire's flexibility in the center is complemented by reinforced sidewalls, which increase its durability. CORAZZAARMOR SILVER also improves stability while retaining a comfortable ride that's still supple and smooth.
Corazza Armor Gold
To keep improving the tire’s performance, a new bead to bead technology was added in the tire, forging the basis of the Gravel XP Series. Starting with CORAZZAARMOR SILVER for enhanced sidewall protection, the GETAWAY XP also includes CORAZZAARMOR GOLD, a special layer of a tightly woven material placed on the tire, reinforcing it further for more aggressive conditions. The tire has now maximum protection all over the casing to keep your rides going!
SMARTPLUS Compound
GETAWAY XP also comes with the gravel-specific tread of special higher durometer, natural rubber SMARTPLUS compound. While providing reduced wear and enhanced durability, the SMARTPLUS rubber compound still retains all the natural rubber properties; better grip, shock-absorption, better control and reduced rolling resistance, all coming in really handy when riding multiple rough terrains.
Chafer Aramid Bead Protection Strip
GETAWAY XP includes the well-known bead protection strip to enhance longevity by reducing the effects of chafing or rubbing against the rim’s carbon bead hooks. The black chafer also acts as a precise line around the rim to confirm that the tire has obtained uniform bead seating all-around.
The unique tire coating is better combined with an appropriately conceived sealant, such as the Challenge’s SMART Tubeless SEALANT, which protects the natural properties of its rubber for a longer-lasting performing tire, while further enhancing air retention and puncture protection.
