Challenge Gravine Review “The GRAVINE introduces the more aggressive tread of the Challenge gravel line-up, positioned after the Strada Bianca, Gravel Grinder and Getaway, in order. The GRAVINE is suitable for more severe, rugged terrains than the others. It is designed to push the boundaries of gravel further, allowing for totally new adventures.“ - “Taking inspiration from our knowledge in cyclocross and of the importance in function of each tread design, we increased the height of the lugs in comparison to our other gravel designs, for enhanced grip through muddy sections and over more rocky terrains, with careful detail to the shoulder design for excellent cornering control. An open-tread design also features for improved mud/dirt shedding and self-cleaning of the tire. Combined with the fast-rolling centre-line for speed, these features allow for an overall more aggressive, versatile and dependable ride on multiple rugged terrains, in differing conditions.“ “The GRAVINE is launched in Challenge’s Handmade Tubeless Ready (H-TLR) construction. This construction has raised the bar of tubeless ready tires, bringing amazing levels of comfort, handling and ride quality. Handmade Technology combined with our innovative rubber compounds also minimizes rolling resistance (Crr) for the best performance and overall experience. Available in two versions, GRAVINE and GRAVINE XP both available in sizes 40 and 45mm. The addition of this new gravel model ensures that performance and dependability are both met, no matter the riding conditions.“ In this video, JOM of the Gravel Cyclist crew presents a detailed review of the Challenge Gravine.
