The top question I have is one that is almost always left out of articles like this: is this available and if not, when will it be? Based on the fact it’s not challenge’s website, seems like this is essentially vaporware until next year and we’re just reading a press release?

In reply to Iamchrisone. Looking at the Grifo side by side they are the exact same tread so I assume the same here. You end up with the casing being wider than the tread so they lose grip when you lean the tires over.

In reply to Ben G. You can get the Chicane in sizes. The tread is curiously different from size to size.some have a finer file tread, some have more or less shoulder knob height. FWIW, the lower cost vulcanized TLR versions are pretty oversized from label (33c = ~36-38 depending on rims) and work really well.

This is great, just ordered a set. I wish tire companies would make the dry tires in bigger sizes and then the muddier ones in tighter range of smaller sizes. A Chicane in 40 and 45, Baby Limus in 35, 38 and 40, Limus in 33 and 35. More volume for softening bumps, less volume to get into the mud more. I’ve been using gravel tires in early season last couple years. Glad I live somewhere where promoters don’t care about a 33c rule.
