Introducing Hutchinson’s new gravel tyre: the Tundra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Hutchinson\u2019s great experience in mountain biking takes full advantage of this new profile, which completes the very versatile Touareg<\/a>. The design of the knobs has been studied at length to offer great traction on soft and greasy ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its large volume of grip allows, among other things, to optimize grip both flat and in curves and offers excellent braking performance. All while maintaining a pleasant rolling central surface for road segments between two trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to its adventurer DNA, this tyre\u2019s greatest asset is its Tubeless Ready<\/strong> construction, which optimises grip and comfort at low pressure. In terms of reliability, nothing to fear from irregularities in the terrain thanks to the integral Hardskin<\/strong> reinforcement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The weight remains under control with 490g in 700×40, while the bigger 700×45 is displayed at 580g.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hutchinson initiated their gravel range a few years ago with the Overide<\/a>. The goal then was to develop a rolling tyre that allowed you to get off the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, the sections have widened, the profiles have become more aggressive. After the release of the very versatile Touareg, the objective of the development of the Tundra was to expand the range to cover all facets of gravel: rolling, dry, rocky but also wet, loose or even muddy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Tundra calls for a more swampy, greasy, moist environment. It is not limited to capricious weather conditions, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design of its knobs as well as its large volume of grip have been meticulously thought out in order to be able to accompany the rider in technical sections and difficult conditions: taking angles, singles, roots, slopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To obtain this high-performance ‘all-terrain’ tyre, Hutchinson was inspired by the profile of the Black Mamba<\/a>, keeping only the most important blocks and purifying to have a clearing surface. For a loose \/ mud oriented tyre there must be space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then they added everything related to Hutchinson\u2019s strong identity: the famous central spine for performance as well as their solid \u00abstrut leg\u00bb side blocks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

THE DESIGN OF THE TUNDRA WAS THOUGHT OUT IN SEVERAL COMPLEMENTARY PARTS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The challenge<\/strong>: to develop a tyre offering excellent grip and traction in difficult off-road conditions, while maintaining good performance and a wide range of uses, essential for gravel practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tundra is not just a ‘mud’ tyre. It has been thought out for a ‘gravel ride’ as a whole, to allow the rider to go through complicated places but without being intended only for these chaotic segments, which never represent the whole of a gravel ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the specifications, performance aspects were also important. Navigating sections on dry and compact terrain is quite possible with the Tundra, also thanks to the different pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
