Challenge Baby Limus Handmade TLR PRO Black and Tan Tire 700 x 33

One Tread. Nearly Any Challenge

The TLR Baby Limus Pro is what Challenge created as a sort of answer to the way the Donnelley PDX had over the market. Before it was an option many racers would run the chunkier Limus tread on the pavement until they wore down the center lugs enough to reduce it's drag in drier conditions. Seeing the need Challenge then created the Baby Limus. It has the smaller and shorter Limus style lugs running down the center it also has the heavier Limus side-lug for when you really need that traction just before slipping.

This is a great all around tread for those that race in an area where it tends to be slightly wetter or slicker. It can handle almost all conditions even up to some slick mud. It's not as fast as the Grifo or Chicane on really dry hard pack but it doesn't sacrifice much when it comes to grass. Loose dirt and rocks are where this tread excels. 

This is the "PRO" casing meaning it is 300 TPI and is made of "SuperPoly" instead of Cotton. This is a Tubeless Tire

Rob's Take: "The Baby Limus has become the sort of de-facto all around tire for the majority of the country. If you're going to run one tread then this is the popular one that will handle a wide range of courses and conditions. That said I still don't think it's the one tread to win them all. I think Challenge achieved that on the newer Flandrien but that is available in tubular only and you are looking at tubeless here."

Leah's Take: "I like the cornering traction in slimy or slippery conditions that the Baby Limus provides. Sometimes I put it on the front for added traction if I am running Grifos but need a little extra grip in the corners. I really like how aggressive the side lug is on the Baby Limus. It gives me confidence."

Tim's Take: "Great Tire to use for the early mornings when the dew is high and the track may be slick. Fantastic all conditions mud tire. If you don't mind sliding a little more in heavier mud and want something not as heavy and slow as it's big brother Limus then choose the Baby. For those times when it's dry and fast and your style is aggressive, it also works well as a front tire only option when combined with a faster rear tire like a Grifo or Chicane."
