Terreno T10 Hardpack (€58.95 / $75.99): possibly for pavement-heavy courses. I really don’t see this as a viable CX option, mostly gravel
Terreno T30 Fine Loose (€58.95 / $75.99): formerly known as the “Dry”, this tire is excellent for dry and hard-packed courses.
Terreno T80 Coarse Loose (€58.95 / $75.99): formerly known as “Mix,” this tread is a great wet-mid tread. Not really a true Grifo, but slightly more tread heavy with a sharp tread good for grabbing in sloppy courses and rough tracks, also debuting in a more affordable Sport construction
Terreno T90 Mud (€58.95 / $75.99): The “Wet” tread, when traction is everything and ruts run axle-deep.
Sport Range (tube-type, folding or rigid): from €25.95 / $31.99
The principle of the SCHWALBE CLIK VALVE, winner of the Eurobike Award 2024, is very simple: it works intuitively with a click. What does it need? The valve and the corresponding pump head or pump head adapter. With the Clik Valve, this can be clicked onto the bike valve with minimal force and removed again very easily after successful inflation.
It doesn't matter which valve and pump you currently have - thanks to conversion kits for all existing bicycle valves and most pumps. To change the bicycle valve, simply replace the valve insert (Sclaverand, Presta, Dunlop, tubeless valve), for the car valve there is an adapter that is screwed over the valve (and can be easily unscrewed again to be able to use petrol station pumps).
The pump head adapter can be integrated into the pump head of current pumps (by clamping or screwing in), even with hand pumps. The Schwalbe Clik Valve can also be inflated with normal SV (Presta) pumps - thanks to this reverse compatibility, you are never at a loss in any situation. SKS already offers its own pump.
The Clik Valve is produced by the Italian specialist valve manufacturing company Record S.p.A. Schwalbe will soon be producing the first tubes with the Clik Valve
Handmade 320TPI Corespun Cotton Casing: for that ultra-supple feel Challenge fans swear by.
SMARTsoft Rubber Compound: fine-tuned with help from world-class ‘cross athletes, providing dialed-in cornering grip and confident braking traction.
Tread: the same Flandrien tread as the tubular model; Aggressive, widely spaced knobs designed to bite into the top layer of mud, clearing that mud when the time comes, all the while keeping rolling resistance low (for a wet-weather tread).
Hookless Rim Compatibility: built to stay within UCI width rules when paired with rims up to 23mm (actually 25mm on our test) internal width.
PPS Puncture Protection Layer: tucked under the tread for peace of mind during hard-fought laps.
