Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Hutchinson Blackbird Road Race Tyre Black 700C Tubeless Ready

Hutchinson Blackbird Road Race Tyre Black 700C Tubeless Ready. High performance road race tyre with a wider tread for superior grip and unparalleled durability with over 4000km+ of performance.

Hutchinson’s New Speed Revolution!
Hutchinson raises the bar with the Blackbird Racing Lab road race tyre, the fastest tyre ever developed by Hutchinson. Featuring cutting-edge Mach Tread 3.0 compound and SwiftEasy casing.Four years of extensive research and development have gone into creating the Blackbird, resulting in the fastest tyre every developed by Hutchinson. Rolling resistance has been improved by 10% but with an increased class leading lifespan of over 4,000 km of real-world riding.

SwiftEasy casing
Central to the reduction in rolling resistance is Hutchinson's new"SwiftEasy"casing design. This new construction sees the tyres casing wrapped around the bead then bonded directly to a central polyamide puncture protection strip instead of the usual process of overlapping these layers.
A final layer of casing runs from bead to bead to reduce air leakage. SwiftEasy casing ensures a much more flexible point of contact with the road, greatly enhancing both rolling resistance and comfort while reducing weight due to the use of just tow layers of 127 TPI casing. The result is a super-fast, comfortable and lightweight tyre, the 28mm Blackbird weighing in at a competitive 290 g.

Mach Tread 3.0
Another technology debuting on the Blackbird is"Mach Tread 3.0", the fastest and most efficient tread compound that has every been developed by Hutchinson. The compound is a completely new formulation with incredibly low rolling resistance and an impressive lifespan of over 4,000 km.

Wider rims
The tyre has been specifically designed around modern, wider rims, with a tread surface that is 15% wider than previous generation tyres. This combined with the more flexible SwiftEasy casing means the tyres contact patch with the road is wider than it is long, enabling aggressive cornering and reducing rolling resistance.

Colourways
The tyre is available in both Black and Tan Wall colourways across a range of three sizes: 26, 28 & 30 mm. Weighing 275, 290 & 310 g respectively. The 28 and 30mm versions are hookless compatible.(selected versions only)

The Blackbird is also available in a Tubetype version that forgoes the SwiftEasy casing to offer enhanced puncture resistance necessary for a tubed tyre. The tubed versions are also available in Black and Tan Wall colourways and weight 225, 245 and 265 g.

Bicycle Rolling Resistance have just tested the new Blackbird and it has scored a massive 4.8/5 with a Highly Recommended - read the review Here
