Getaway Race Vulcanized Tubeless Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Getaway Race Vulcanized Tubeless Tire is the tire I reach for when I want proven Challenge tread performance and tubeless compatibility in a durable, high-mileage format. The 60TPI Nylon Superlight casing is a meaningful step up from what most competitors offer in vulcanized construction, and the SMART-V compound translates Challenge's grip philosophy into the vulcanized format effectively enough that the tire performs with real confidence across mixed gravel terrain. Running it tubeless on hookless rims at lower pressures is where it shows its best character."

The Challenge Getaway Race Vulcanized Tubeless Tire applies the same tread design philosophy and compound discipline that defines the Getaway lineup to a vulcanized construction built for durability and all-condition gravel performance. The proven Getaway tread pattern handles hardpack, intermediate gravel, and firm to loose dirt with consistent grip and rolling efficiency, making it the natural first choice for race courses and big riding days where conditions shift throughout the event without warning.

Challenge's approach to vulcanized construction begins with a 60TPI Nylon Superlight casing that extracts meaningful compliance from the format, riding noticeably more responsive than the standard nylon casings that define most vulcanized tires. Running tubeless at lower pressures expands that compliance further, allowing the casing to flex and conform to variable terrain in a way that adds traction and ride comfort on the rough and unpredictable surfaces that gravel riding regularly demands. Hookless rim compatibility makes setup straightforward across a wide range of modern gravel wheelsets.

The SMART-V compound is a specifically formulated adaptation of Challenge's SMART rubber, engineered to deliver the grip balance and tread durability that Challenge's compound philosophy prioritizes within the different construction dynamics of vulcanized production. The result is a tire that grips predictably on mixed surfaces, holds its tread character through high-mileage use, and maintains confidence through the cornering and braking demands of aggressive gravel riding and racing. PPS puncture protection adds a tightly-woven fabric barrier between the tread and casing, providing meaningful flat resistance against the embedded rocks, sharp gravel edges, and road debris that accumulate on the surfaces this tire was built to handle. Challenge Smart Tubeless Sealant is recommended for optimal tubeless setup and long-term airtight performance across the full life of the tire.
