Challenge Flandrien Team Edition "S" Tubular Cyclocross Tire

Flandrien - the newest tread shape from Challenge Tires - is named in honor of the riders who thrive in the changing conditions mid-winter. In terms of design, the Flandrien slots in between the Baby Limus and the Grifo: faster rolling than a pure mud tire like the Limus, but still plenty of grip in the wet.

Challenge "S3" sidewalls 

In this Team Edition tubular version of the Flandrien, the Flandrien tread pattern is mated to Challenge's handmade 320 TPI Team Edition corespun cotton casing and SmartSoft tread for the ultimate in traction and ride quality. The Team Edition line-up offers beautiful white sidewalls with bold "Team Edition S3" graphics - soft, supple, sealed sidewalls.

Designed with Tom Pidcock 

The Flandrien is the first Challenge cyclocross tire designed with World Champion, Tom Pidcock.

When there’s hard ground under a top layer of mud and the course is fast but slippery, the Flandrien is ideal. I’ve won two national championships on the Flandriens since I was first handed a prototype pair in 2022, so it’s a tread I really rely on.” – Adam Myerson

Installing tubular tires

TECH NOTE: this is a tubular bicycle tire with a captive (stitched-in) latex inner tube (also called a "sew-up".) It must be glued or taped onto a tubular rim for safe use. It will not work on a traditional clincher wheel/rim. Proper setup is essential for your safety - if you are not qualified to install tubular tires, please seek expert guidance first.
