The ELITE Pro breaks down barriers to handmade performance, unlocking value and artisan quality that are unmatched in this category. Great for year-round miles, ELITE is a terrific introduction to Handmade.
This handmade PRO version combines a supple Super Polyester casing with our standard Smart Compound. Our new Easy-Fit Shape moulding process gently pre-forms the tire for easier mounting and inflation.

- 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: PRO
- Everyday Luxury – Our workhorse handmade tire is the PRO series, delivering performance and ride feel unmatched by traditional vulcanized tires. Perfect for the rigors of daily riding.
- CASING: Super Polyester 220TPI
- 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: SMART
- Our standard rubber compound, SMART is the perfect balance of durability and performance. Our handmade construction ensures that our tread compounds are never hardened or heated by the vulcanization process.
- PUNCTURE PROTECTION: PPS
- Our Puncture Protection System (PPS) is a tough, tightly-woven fabric placed between the tread and casing to increase puncture resistance.
