Hutchinson - Tires and Accessories for Every Purpose

At Hutchinson's Racing Lab, engineers, tire designers and athletes come together to bring ideas for revolutionary tire designs to life. With a relentless passion to establish themselves at the top of the world, they design tires like the Griffus. Professionals tested it on the most demanding mountain bike trails, and the tire helped them achieve dominant victories right away.

But Hutchinson's Racing Lab is not only a place of innovation, it's also a place of history. It is located in Hutchinson's historic factory in Chalette-sur-Loing. Here, new tire technologies are not only conceived, but also quickly turned into prototypes thanks to in-house manufacturing to test and refine the design in real-world conditions.

Gravel bikes feel comfortable not only on the road, but also in the countryside and especially on gravel roads. Hutchinson offers gravel tires that meet the broad requirements of changing surfaces:

You want on asphalt road bike feeling, in the gravel less swimming and at the same time in the winding forest path not slip away?

• Hutchinson Gravel tires have a fine lug tread. The tires are wider, giving you more grip. The rougher and more technical your favorite routes are, the coarser the tire tread should be. For even more grip, you can run Tubeless Ready Gravel tires from Hutchinson without an inner tube and with less tire pressure.
• Sharp pebbles and thorns can not harm Hutchinson Gravel tires. The Hardskin technology consists of a robust fabric grid, which is integrated into the supporting framework of the tire, the carcass. The Hardskin puncture protection completely surrounds the bicycle tire - from one bead to the sidewall, the tread, the second sidewall to the other bead. The Hardskin protection layer is so effective that most mountain bike and gravel tires are equipped with it.

The perfect MTB tire that performs in every discipline does not exist. So that you can really step on the gas, the two contact points between bike and surface should shine in very specific areas. Downhill, enduro, cross-country, down-country, marathon, freeride: each mountain bike discipline has its own appeal.

MTB tires from Hutchinson have without a doubt a race DNA. With years of experience from racing and Factory Racing Team, you won't make a mistake with any of the models. Be aware that some Hutchinson tires are primarily for the front wheel, others are suitable as rear tires. Adjust your setup individually and exactly to your requirement profile.

It is worthwhile for you to pay attention to the details of the bicycle tire. Because Hutchinson uses different, in-house compounds, i.e. rubber compounds, not only in the MTB area. The material is specialized in these areas of application.

1. Cross-Country and Trail

Rubber compounds such as the RR XC Compound are designed for cross-country and trail use. The hardness in the center of the tire allows efficient rolling performance on better paved roads, while the softer sides promise traction on rough terrain.

2. Downhill and Enduro

For more demanding trails, the compound is thicker and softer than the cross country bikes. It reacts more slowly to improve deformation and grip. So you have more control and still benefit from a responsive roll.

3. Allround

The BI compound is so versatile that Hutchinson uses it in gravel, road and mountain bike tires. It provides comfort and performance on rough terrain and smooth asphalt, making it ideal for variable but not extreme riding conditions. It manages the balancing act between flexibility, reinforcement, optimal weight and high performance.
