Challenge GRIFO PLUS Training Tyre

As well as their range of RACE level training / racing cyclocross tyres, Challenge also make their most popular model in a standard vulcanised tyre and which make them the perfect training tyre. This entry point Grifo Plus tyre features a 60tpi casing which makes the tyre eminenty affordabe with high durability.

The Challenge Grifo Plus is the company's entry level, all-conditions tyre that leans towards soft pack. The 60tpi nylon casing is aimed squarely at the casual 'cross rider and solely as a training tyre since it is both heavier and far less supple than the company's corespun cotton, hand-made open tubulars. Nevertheless the Grifo Plus features the same tread pattern that has garnered so much love amongst racers and casual 'cross riders alike. Recommended minimum tyre pressures are higher than those of their Race stablemates and this makes them less suitable for racing, however the harder compound creates a more resiliant and durable tyre, making them ideal for training.

An aramid bead reduces the likelihood of punctures whilst helping to keep weight down.
