Perfectly positioned within the esteemed Challenge gravel lineup, the Almanzo is the ideal tire for gravel and adventure riders seeking more control than the Strada Bianca and lower resistance than the Gravel Grinder. This tyre delivers a masterful blend of speed, traction, and durability, making it the ultimate choice for mixed-terrain endurance events, competitive gravel racing, and epic backcountry exploration.Experience the legendary ride quality that only a true handmade tubular can provide. The Almanzo Pro's construction allows it to conform seamlessly to imperfect surfaces, absorbing vibrations and chatter to deliver an incredibly smooth and supple ride. This superior comfort reduces rider fatigue on long days in the saddle, allowing you to push harder for longer. The tubular design also enables you to run lower pressures with confidence, dramatically increasing traction and control on loose corners and technical descents without the fear of pinch flats that plagues standard clincher tyres.The Almanzo's meticulously engineered tread pattern is the key to its versatility. A fast-rolling, nearly smooth center line ensures minimal rolling resistance for incredible speed on pavement and hard-packed dirt roads. As you lean into corners, you engage the progressively larger and more aggressive shoulder knobs, which bite into looser surfaces like gravel and soft soil, providing unwavering confidence and predictable handling when you need it most. This intelligent design means you can transition from tarmac to trail without sacrificing performance.Key Benefits:* Balanced Performance: Expertly designed to bridge the gap between fast-rolling slicks and aggressive knobbies, offering an ideal mix of speed and control for all-road riding.* Superior Comfort & Feel: The handmade tubular construction provides an unparalleled supple ride, smoothing out rough roads and gravel to reduce fatigue and enhance comfort.* Exceptional Cornering Grip: Aggressive shoulder knobs dig into loose terrain, offering outstanding traction and stability for confident cornering at speed.* Low Rolling Resistance: A fast, smooth center tread minimizes resistance on hard surfaces, helping you maintain speed and conserve energy.* Enhanced Reliability: The integrated puncture protection layer provides an extra shield against sharp rocks and debris, giving you peace of mind on remote routes.Main Features:* Handmade Tubular construction for the ultimate in ride quality and performance.* Versatile tread pattern with a fast-rolling center and aggressive shoulder knobs for cornering.* A high-TPI casing that enhances suppleness and ground conformity.* Designed specifically for the demands of modern Gravel cycling and adventure riding.Technical Specifications:* Use: Gravel Cycling, Adventure, Rough Roads* Size: 28´´- 700x33C* ETRTO: 33 - 622* Tyre Type: Tubular (Requires gluing or taping to a tubular-specific rim)* Casing: SuperPoly* Recommended Pressure: 2 - 6 bar / 30 - 90 PSI* Width: 33 mm
