Cyclocross is just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about all of the details of the season. Challenge Tires is once again offering the Grassroots Sponsorship Program for the 2011 season. A very successful program in its inaugural year and we’re ready to go at it again! We’ve made a few revisions and we’re very excited for the upcoming season! The most exciting news for 2011 is the launch of our new mud tubular called the Limus. It is an amazing tire and you’re going to want to ride them! A 3.2 mm deep tread pattern that is agressive and sure to dig in when you need it most! This tire will compliment our arsenal of tires to give you a complete line-up for all conditions.
