Hutchinson has redesigned three of its existing mountain bike tyres to form a new range that targets enduro riders.
The revamped trio of rubber will offer options for those riding dry, mixed and muddy terrain and, once its released in July, will be available in all popular wheel sizes.
Technical highlights
All of the tyres in Hutchinson’s new enduro range use the same triple compound construction. The recipe consists of a soft and tacky rubber at the edge of the tyres, an intermediate compound across the centre tread, and a hard underlying structural compound below any knobs.
All of the tyres are tubeless-ready and use a double casing (2x66tpi) carcass. Tough puncture protection is also standard across the range, thanks to a puncture-resistant aramid fabric that the company refers to as Hardskin.
The production tyres have been thoroughly tested by Hutchinson’s UR race team – who gave final sign-off – along with many other testers.
