Challenge Baby Limus Pro 38mm HTLR Handmade Tubeless-ready Cyclocross Tire
The Baby Limus, one of my favorite tread patterns for cyclocross from Challenge, now comes in a brand new, 38mm wide version. 38mm wide tires for cyclocross offer more grip and handling in 'cross races where the 33mm tire width rules are not enforced. The Baby Limus 38mm uses the new HTLR (handmade, tubeless-ready) casing. This is a high-end option for cyclocross racers who prefer to race on tubeless instead of tubulars. Bikerumor.com says: "If you’re riding a very bumpy course with lumpy grass sections, you’d love the 38mm suspension-like feel." Baby Limus blends features from the Grifo, Limus, and Chicane Start with the Limus, but shave down the tread so the knobs are shorter with less rolling resistance. Add the Y-shaped knobs from the Chicane for edge cornering and you've got a great jack-of-all-trades tire for cyclocross racing, and in the new 38mm version, and you've got a winner for bumpy, rocky, rooted race courses.
