The Challenge Getaway is a versatile gravel and adventure tyre for riders looking to explore beyond paved roads. Its key benefit is a balance of speed on open terrain and reliable grip on looser surfaces. A potential consideration is its handmade construction, which may require specific care compared to mass-produced tyres. The Getaway features a fast-rolling center tread, aggressive shoulder knobs for cornering, a supple 260 TPI SuperPoly & CorrazzaArmor casing, and robust double PPS Ganzo and PPS2 puncture protection.

Recommended pressure varies based on rider weight, rim width, terrain, and tubeless setup. Generally, for a 700x45c tyre, pressures can range from 25-45 PSI. Always consult the tyre sidewall for a minimum and maximum pressure range and experiment to find what works best for you.
A higher TPI (Threads Per Inch) casing makes the tyre more supple and flexible. This allows the tyre to conform better to the road or trail surface, providing a smoother, more comfortable ride and better traction.
The Getaway is designed for versatility across a range of gravel conditions, from hardpack to looser surfaces. It may not be the optimal choice for extremely muddy or deeply loose conditions where a tyre with more aggressive, widely spaced knobs would be preferred.
PPS Ganzo and PPS2 are Challenge's proprietary puncture protection layers designed to resist sidewall cuts and tread punctures. The 'double' protection indicates multiple layers are used for enhanced durability.
Yes, the Challenge Getaway is 'Handmade Tubeless Ready' (TLR), meaning it can be set up tubeless or used with a standard inner tube. However, for optimal benefits like lower pressures and better flat resistance, a tubeless setup is recommended.
Clean your tyres with water and a mild soap. Regularly inspect them for wear and tear. Ensure your tubeless sealant is topped up annually or as needed.
Ensure the rim bed is clean and free of debris. Check that the tyre bead is evenly distributed in the rim channel. Try using a bit of soapy water on the bead to help it slide into place. Use a high-volume pump or compressor for seating.
Check the valve stem and core for tightness and proper sealing. Inspect the tyre bead for any imperfections or areas where sealant might not have fully cured. Spin the wheel to distribute sealant, especially around the valve and bead.
This can sometimes occur with handmade tyres. Ensure the tyre is properly seated and inflated to the correct pressure. Check for any unevenness in the tyre carcass. Re-seating the tyre may help.
While PPS Ganzo and PPS2 offer excellent protection, very sharp objects or extreme impacts can still cause damage. For small punctures, sealant should typically address them. For larger tears, a patch or tube may be necessary.
