The new endurance tyre from Hutchinson. Complete peace of mind, all year round. A tyre delivering exceptional performance in terms of longevity, comfort and safety. Created after extensive research and development from Hutchinson, the Challenger has been designed as a’do-it-all’ tyre capable of the demands of everyday training, Gran Fondo riding and ultra-endurance adventures. AIRSHIELDT – A Paradigm Shift in Tubeless Setups. Say goodbye to common air loss issues with the revolutionary AIRSHIELDT technology. By integrating two high-performance sealing compounds that coat both the tyre’s interior and bead, AIRSHIELDT 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 AIRSHIELDT and HARDSHIELDT. The combined power of AIRSHIELDT and HARDSHIELDT 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. The 2.3mm thick central tread further enhances puncture resistance, comfort, and boasts an industry-leading 10,000km real-world lifespan. Crafted in France for Excellence. The Hutchinson Challenger TLR proudly carries the Made in France. Legacy, meticulously crafted in our historic French factory, where we have been producing tyres since 1890. Unparalleled Puncture Protection with HARDSHIELDT. Ulrich Bartholmoes, Tour Divide 2023 Winner, has covered over 9,000km without a single puncture, thanks to the Challenger TLR’s revolutionary HARDSHIELD. With a wide polyamide reinforcement and Aramid threads, it offers unmatched puncture resistance, making it ideal for ultra-distance cycling races and chaotic winter roads. I started riding the Hutchinson Challenger. Tubeless when I was preparing for the Transcontinental – an ultra long-distance cycling race from Belgium all across Europe to Bulgaria, covering a route of 4,500 kilometers nonstop. For such an endeavor, a reliable tyre delivering exceptional performance in terms of durability and puncture resistance is key. Using the Challenger Tubeless 32mm brings it all together: maximum comfort and performance while still being reliable on all kinds of terrain. During the Transcontinental, I was able to ride one pair of tyres through the whole race – without any puncture. And still – after 4,500km, those tyres are still up for more – I managed to ride a pair for more than 9,000km before the tread was ready to retire. The Challenger Tubeless is an exceptional piece of technology that never let me down. Tour Divide 2023 Winner, 5th TCR 2022, Winner Across Andes, Winner Badlands, Pedalma, 3rd The Traka 360.
