Unveiling the Game-Changer: Hutchinson Challenger TLR, The Ultimate All-Season Road Tyre
Welcome to the cycling world’s most exciting revelation of the year – the Hutchinson Challenger Tubeless Road Tyre (Challenger TLR). Designed to redefine the concept of the perfect all-season road tyre, the Challenger TLR boasts unparalleled comfort, durability, and puncture resistance. The Challenger TLR this year’s best road tyre, an ultimate winter tyre, and the go-to choice for all-season endurance and training.
Unparalleled Puncture Protection with HARDSHIELD™
The Challenger TLR introduces an entirely new level of puncture protection with HARDSHIELD™ technology. This innovation consists of two protective layers working in harmony. A wide polyamide reinforcement spans the width of the tyre’s tread, while a narrower strip of super-strong Aramid threads concentrates protection at the ground contact patch.
In rigorous tests comparing the Challenger TLR to competitors, it withstood punctures at force ratings up to 170 Newtons, a remarkable 100% increase in resistance in some cases. These results demonstrate the extraordinary level of puncture resistance offered by HARDSHIELD™.
AIRSHIELD™ – A Paradigm Shift in Tubeless Setups
Say goodbye to common air loss issues with the revolutionary AIRSHIELD™ technology. By integrating two high-performance sealing compounds that coat both the tyre’s interior and bead, AIRSHIELD™ ensures an airtight environment. The flexible butyl layer extends seamlessly to the rim, allowing it to flex and deform with the tyre’s movement, maintaining an impenetrable seal against air leakage.
Furthermore, a robust, abrasion-resistant coating encircles the tyre’s bead, ensuring a seamless connection with the rim. This eliminates the need for traditional bead fabric reinforcements, enhancing sidewall flexibility and ride comfort to unprecedented levels.
Tubeless Freedom with AIRSHIELD™ and HARDSHIELD™
The combined power of AIRSHIELD™ and HARDSHIELD™ introduces the possibility of running the Challenger TLR without sealant. This opens up tubeless technology to riders who may have previously avoided it due to perceived setup and maintenance difficulties. In case of a puncture, simply install an inner tube and repair the tyre at home for a mess-free tubeless experience. Alternatively, pair the Challenger TLR with Hutchinson Protect’Air Max Sealant for unrivaled puncture resistance, perfect for ultra-endurance riding and year-round training.
Unmatched Construction and Performance
The Challenger Tubeless features a 3×127 TPI carcass matched with a new Hutchinson Endurance Bi-Compound. Softer shoulders (53 Sha rating) provide reliable grip in all conditions, while a harder central tread (62 Sha rating) reduces rolling resistance and enhances abrasion resistance. The 2.3mm thick central tread further enhances puncture resistance, comfort, and boasts an industry-leading 10,000km real-world lifespan.
