Challenge Elite XP Handmade Road Tyre
- Incredibly fast rolling herringbone tread
- 260TPI SuperPoly for incredibly smooth ride
- PPS Ganzo protection for more puncture resistance
The Challenge Elite XP is the ultimate winter training tyre, perfect for riders who want high performance without running a fragile race-day only tyre in winter thanks to it's PPS Ganzo protection.
- Incredibly fast rolling herringbone tread also offers excellent cornering control
- 260TPI SuperPoly casing with CorazzArmor gives an incredibly smooth and supple ride
- Handmade folding bead casing with PPS Ganzo puncture protection

The Elite XP is built for speed while still being durable and grippy. The herringbone tread helps it roll incredibly well while still offering excellent control under braking and while cornering, even in the wet. Equally at home during the winter, the Elite is not just for dry days; it's happy enough in the wet as well.
Built around Challenge's legendary 260TPI SuperPoly casing, the Criterium offers an unbelievably smooth ride, meaning even on longer stage races, you won't feel beaten up and it can even help transform otherwise stiff riding bikes into something far more comfortable and compliant. If you want the ultimate winter training tyre, the Challenge Elite is the perfect choice!

Customer Reviews
They measure up at 26.7mm so are nigh-on as advertised and my experience another winter favourite the continental 4 seasons in 28mm measure up at around 30mm which if you have an older bike may lead to clearance problem.
The herringbone tread patterns feels like it would give some purchase/grip when rubbed with the fingers and the sidewall feels thicker than the aforementioned rival tyre.
I've had one ride only so to early to test durability and handling characteristics but all seems promising
