Consumer Product Safety Bulletin - March 13, 2019

The Criterium RS has the perfect mix of speed, grip and durability with at the same time providing refined control and shock absorption capabilities thanks to its handmade construction. The Criterium RS comes in a 350tpi Corespun Cotton casing in Tubeless Ready that optimize weight, comfort and, with the new SMARTPRIME compound, it becomes one of the lowest rolling resistance tires in the market. Construction: Handmade:
Challenge handmade tyres combine comfort, performance, and grip in a way other tires can't match. Our handmade tyres are assembled step-by-step by experienced craftspeople. High quality natural glues and latex coatings are applied to ultra-supple casing materials like silk, cotton, or polyester. The result is a small-batch tire with a ride feel that is simply on a different level.

Series: Team Edition
Race Day Performance The go-to for our professional athletes, TEAM EDITION tyres are a step up in casings and compounds and are the ideal balance of features for special efforts.

Casing: Corespun Cotton 350TPI
Corespun Cotton with thread counts of 320-350tpi is naturally softer and more supple than polyester but is more likely to absorb water so we seal our cotton sidewalls for increased durability.

Compound: SMARTprime
Delivers lower rolling resistance than our basic SMART compound without sacrificing traction or durability. SMARTprime rubber compound forms the basis of our fastest road tyres yet.
