Hutchinson - Tires and accessories for every ride

At Hutchinson’s Racing Lab, engineers, tire designers, and athletes work side by side to turn bold ideas into next-generation tire designs. Driven by a relentless push to compete at the highest level, they develop tires like the Griffus. Tested by pros on the most demanding mountain bike trails, it delivered race-winning performance from the start.

Hutchinson’s Racing Lab isn’t just a hub for innovation - it’s part of the brand’s history. Located in Hutchinson’s historic factory in Chalette-sur-Loing, it brings development and production together under one roof. New tire technologies are conceived here and quickly turned into prototypes through in-house manufacturing, so they can be tested and refined in real-world conditions.

Gravel bikes feel just as at home on the road as they do on gravel and dirt. Hutchinson gravel tires are built to handle constantly changing surfaces.

Want road bike speed on asphalt, more control on gravel, and confident grip on winding forest trails?

• Hutchinson gravel tires use a fine, lugged tread pattern, while their wider profile adds grip and stability. As your routes get rougher and more technical, you’ll want a more aggressive tread to match. For even more traction, run Hutchinson Tubeless Ready gravel tires without an inner tube and at lower tire pressure.
• Sharp stones and thorns don’t stand a chance. Hardskin technology uses a durable fabric layer integrated into the tire’s carcass. This puncture protection wraps the entire tire - from bead to sidewall, across the tread, and back to the bead. It’s so effective that it’s used across many mountain bike and gravel tires.

There’s no single MTB tire that excels in every discipline. To get the most out of your ride, your tires need to perform in very specific areas. Downhill, enduro, cross-country, down-country, marathon, or freeride - each discipline comes with its own demands.

Hutchinson MTB tires carry a clear race DNA. Backed by years of experience in competition and development with the Factory Racing Team, every model is built to perform. Some tires are designed specifically for the front wheel, others for the rear. Dial in your setup to match your riding style and terrain.

It pays to look closely at the details. Hutchinson uses a range of in-house rubber compounds, each tuned for specific applications - not just in MTB. These materials are developed to deliver the performance you need in each riding scenario.

1. Cross-country and trail

Compounds like the RR XC Compound are built for cross-country and trail riding. A firmer center tread keeps rolling fast on smoother surfaces, while softer side knobs add traction on rough terrain.

2. Downhill and enduro

For more demanding trails, these compounds are thicker and softer than those used for cross-country. They deform more slowly, increasing grip and control while still maintaining responsive rolling.

3. All-round

The BI compound is highly versatile and used across gravel, road, and mountain bike tires. It balances comfort and performance on both rough terrain and smooth asphalt, making it ideal for mixed but not extreme conditions. It strikes the right balance between flexibility, reinforcement, weight, and performance.

In our online store, you’ll find Hutchinson tires with Hardskin protection, along with tubeless tires, road tires, clinchers, folding tires, inner tubes, and accessories. And there’s more: get everything you need for your bike in one place - no need to order from multiple shops. Skip the hassle and find the gear you’re looking for faster. Get ready for your next adventure, and chase your next PR.
