Getaway XP Tubeless Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Getaway XP Tubeless Tire is the version I reach for when the route or race includes sections rough enough to put standard sidewalls at real risk. The XP reinforcement lets me run the pressures I want without second-guessing the casing on aggressive terrain, and the SMARTplus compound and PPS2 protection back that up with tread durability and puncture resistance that holds up through demanding riding. The 260TPI Super Polyester casing keeps the ride quality firmly in handmade territory despite the added protection, which is exactly what you want from a tire built for rough conditions."

The Challenge Getaway XP Tubeless Tire takes the proven Getaway tread platform and applies Challenge's XP series engineering to build a tire specifically suited for the high-speed, low-pressure, rough terrain demands that push standard gravel tires toward their limits. XP stands for Xtra Protection, and the designation reflects a targeted reinforcement strategy that adds durability under the tread and throughout the sidewalls without compromising the handmade ride quality and compliance that define the 260TPI Super Polyester casing underneath. For riders who run aggressive setups on demanding terrain, the XP construction provides the confidence to push harder, knowing the tire is built to handle the consequences.

The 260TPI Super Polyester casing forms the performance foundation of the Getaway XP Tubeless Tire, delivering the natural suppleness and terrain conformity that Challenge's handmade assembly process produces through step-by-step construction using high-quality natural glues and latex coatings. Running tubeless on hookless compatible rims in either 700x40C or 700x45C allows pressures low enough for the casing to work at its full compliance potential, maximizing traction and ride comfort on the rough surfaces where this tire performs best. The 40C maintains a balance of speed and volume for mixed terrain use, while the 45C prioritizes maximum cushioning and traction for the most demanding and technical gravel environments.

SMARTplus compound brings greater cut resistance and sustained tread durability to the Getaway XP Tubeless Tire, keeping tread edges sharper and grip more consistent through the abrasive and variable conditions that rough gravel routes deliver across a full season of hard riding. Because Challenge's handmade construction never subjects SMARTplus to vulcanization heat, the compound retains its intended softness and performance character throughout the tire's life. PPS2 double-layer puncture protection places two tightly-woven fabric barriers between the tread and casing, providing substantially enhanced flat resistance against the embedded rocks, sharp gravel edges, and road debris that define the aggressive terrain this tire was built to handle. Combined with XP sidewall reinforcement that guards against the lateral cuts and impacts common on rough and technical gravel routes, the Getaway XP Tubeless Tire delivers the complete protection package for riders who refuse to let terrain dictate their limits. Challenge Smart Tubeless Sealant is recommended for optimal tubeless setup and long-term airtight performance.
