CHALLENGE INNER TUBE LATEX CROSS

The Challenge Latex Cross is a special inner tyre that was designed for use in cyclocross- and graveltyre. This inner tyre was made of high-grade latexrubber, which offers different advantages for cyclocross- and gravelcyclists.

Lightweight: Latex inner tyres are a lot lighter than standard rubber inner tyres. This extra weightadvantage can be crucial for cyclocross-/gravelraces where every gram counts.

Suppleness and grip: The latex rubber is more naturally elastic than regular rubber, making the inner tyre better adjustable to the contours of the tyre and making it so it can offer a more smooth riding behaviour. This can lead to better grip and control in muddy and uneven circumstances such as you’ll encounter on cyclocross- and graveltrails.

Less rolling resistance: The flexibility of latex can also reduce your rolling resistance, making it so you can pedal more efficiently and ride faster.

Better seal: Latex inner tyres are more natural sealing when leaking when compared to regular inner tyres.

The use of latex inner tyres in cyclocross- and graveltyres is more popular among professional cyclists and with serious amateurs considering the advantages on weight, grip and performances. It is really important to notice that latex inner tyres are more sensitive to leaks than standard rubber inner tyres and they have to be checked more often and have to be pumped more often.
