While your weekend may not consist of riding the storied cobblestones of France for a chance to win the Queen of the Classics, you can still take on the bumpiest chipseal roads you encounter with the confidence of a pro racing Roubaix with Hutchinson’s Sector 28 Tubeless tire. The French manufacturer developed the Sector 28 in honor of a cobblestone-filled race on its home turf, but the tire can handle more than just centuries-old stones. Using dual-compound rubber and 127tpi casing, Hutchinson created a tire that resists flatting and is dependable on rough roads, gravel, and dirt, maintains a supple ride and easy handling. The center tread is slightly firmer to encourage low rolling resistance, with softer rubber on the sides and subtle grooves in the sidewall to provide grip while cornering. Relax while riding on summer’s torn-up construction zone roads without having to worry about squinting for stray nails or staples — Hutchinson includes a thin barrier to reinforce the center tread that manages to avoid making the Sector 28s feel clunky.

The Taipan is unlike any other tire Hutchinson has ever developed. Starting completely from scratch, the idea was to create a uniquely knobbed all-around performing XC tire that would excel in a variety of conditions. Traditionally MTB tire design is terrain or condition limited, it’s either dry or muddy, rocky or wet specific. The Taipan uniquely spans all those conditions through its unique tread and knob design. Widely spaced knobs help shed mud when the going gets wet. Raised geometric ridges between the knob grab onto roots and smaller rocks when you need traction between knob contact. The rolling contact patch is also knobbed with 3mm high knobs that deliver the perfect mix of tread with low rolling resistance. But traction is only half the story. What moves must stop as well, the Taipan has specifically angled ramps on its geometrically profiled knobs that guarantee that when you grab a handful of brake lever, something predictable happens. As usual, the Taipan is offered in a variety of 26, 27.5 and 29″ diameters and widths from 2.1 to 2.25 (2.35 coming soon). Tubed and Tubeless Ready models with performance 127tpi as well as Enduro 2×66 casings and puncture resistant technology.

The Black Mamba XC tire was developed with Julien Absalon (2x Olympic and 4x World XC Champion). It was specifically created for the London Olympic XC course. Its design lineage comes from the Hutchinson Piranha and Cobra. The goal of the Black Mamba is a very light and fast in dry condition tire. A dense low profile 2 compound knob pattern covers the tire. With the 2.0 version of this tire weighing in at only 450 grams this is an extremely light competition tire. Softer compound side cornering lugs hang on well when cornering. Available in Tubeless Ready RR and Airlight tubed models. This is definately a race day performance tire.

The Intensive 2 is an excellent tire for high mileage. Hard skin reinforcement protects against cuts and punctures. A double compound enhances durability, comfort, and safety.

Cobra has been developed as a step up from the Python for more aggressive riding. with the development of longer travel suspension bikes Hutchinson developed a tire that would still roll fast but provide sure footedness and excellent control in more technical and varied conditions.

The Toro CX is an excellent choice for cross-country training or riding on slippery gravel or in muddy conditions. The Tubeless Ready version lets you ride with significantly lower pressure while the reinforced sides keep the tread on the trail. 127 TPI casing for a light, responsive, comfortable tire Multi-purpose tread excels in loose terrain
