Press/Review
“If you want one set of tubeless cyclo-cross tyres to do a full season of racing then the Challenge Grifo TLRs are up there with the best.
Aficionados of tyre suppleness might want to upgrade to the Handmade TLR versions, but for the majority of riders, this vulcanised version will offer the better value.
Verdict: Great cyclo-cross tyres for a range of conditions, with easy tubeless inflation” – road.cc
