The new tire is named after the venomous snake, the Taipan. It is a cross-country and all-round tire with good trail properties. Thanks to the specially arranged lugs, it is said to offer excellent traction and lateral grip. Despite the open profile, the rolling resistance should also remain low.

Hutchinson "Taipan"

In order to demonstrate the versatility of this tire, Hutchinson, together with the Swiss importer "Velok" and the "Trailrider" store, held a tire exchange campaign at the Wildspitz Trilogy. The bikes of around 70 participants in this enduro happening were fitted with the new "Taipan" tires before they were sent out onto the course.

The tire is available in the versions "Air Light", "Hardskin", "Tubeless Hardskin", "Tubeless Ready", "Tubeless Ready Hardskin" and "Super Light". The "Taipan" serves all wheel sizes and comes in the dimensions 26x2.1, 27.5x2.1- 2.25 and 29x2.1.

The "Squale" downhill tire has also been redesigned and is being continuously developed in collaboration with the World Cup downhill team. In addition to high puncture resistance, the tire should offer plenty of grip, especially on root-rich trails. Hutchinson is also catering more to the different wheel sizes and offers the "Black Mamba" in 26 and 29-inch, 2.2-inch widths. The classic "Python" is also available as a 27.5-inch tire and also in a 2.2-inch width in addition to the 26-inch version. The entry-level tire "Cameleon" also comes in 27.5-inch, but only two inches wide.

What once belonged together is being put together again. Hutchinson is notably the inventor of the "UST" tubeless system. At that time, the wheel specialist Mavic was won over for a close collaboration. The result: tires whose beads fit the special rim flange exactly. This makes the system air pressure stable even without sealant. The tire manufacturer is now resuming this collaboration. At the same time, Hutchinson is presenting its new logo.
