Unmatched Speed and Efficiency
At the heart of the Blackbird´s incredible performance is the brand-new Mach Tread 3.0 compound, the fastest and most efficient tread compound ever created by Hutchinson. It is specifically formulated to reduce rolling resistance, allowing you to maintain higher speeds with less effort. This tangible energy saving is paired with a construction that minimizes rebound and deformation, ensuring that more of your power is transferred directly to the road. Whether you´re sprinting for the finish line or setting a new personal best on a climb, the Blackbird provides a distinct and measurable speed advantage.
Superior Grip and Confident Handling
The Hutchinson Blackbird redefines cornering confidence. Its tread is 15% wider than previous generation models, creating a larger contact patch with the road surface. This, combined with the advanced properties of the Mach Tread 3.0 compound, delivers exceptional grip in both wet and dry conditions. The innovative SwiftEasy Casing technology adds to this stability, offering a remarkably supple and responsive ride feel. The casing conforms perfectly to the road´s imperfections, maximizing traction and allowing you to push the limits through tight corners and on technical descents with absolute control. This 28´´- 700 tyre, with an ETRTO of 28 – 622, offers the perfect balance of comfort and agility.
