I usually ride Gatorskins in winter but having tried these in 25mm width in freezing temperatures and on wet roads I've found them to be equally as grippy and puncture proof (so far! But I rode through hawthorn hedge cuttings strewn across a lane without incident) and they seem very comfortable. Too early to tell about longevity but so far so good, no splits or wear...
Product Details
Combining speed and comfort in a more robust form, Challenge’s Elite XP PRO Handmade Clincher Road Tyre is ideal for long rides on imperfect roads in all conditions, making it particularly suitable for winter training. Its handmade construction and high 220 threads per inch count ensure good suppleness and comfort whilst the GANZO PPS strip under the tread and the CORAZZA Armour in the sidewall should mean more time riding and less time by the side of the road fixing punctures. Despite its toughness, the tyre still weighs less than 300 grams in 27mm form, making it an enticing prospect.
