Hutchinson Blackbird Tubeless 700×26 Road Tyre – The New Revolution in Speed
Experience Hutchinson’s new speed revolution with the Hutchinson Blackbird Tubeless 700×26 road tyre. Hutchinson raises the bar with the Blackbird Racing Lab, the fastest tyre ever developed by the brand. This is not just an update; it´s a complete reimagining of performance for the dedicated road cyclist and triathlete. Featuring the cutting-edge Mach Tread 3.0 Compound and an innovative SwiftEasy Casing, this tyre delivers an incredible 10% reduction in rolling resistance, a 15% wider tread for superior grip, and unparalleled durability, with over 4000km+ of race-level performance.
At the heart of this performance leap is the cutting-edge Mach Tread 3.0 Compound. This new formulation is engineered to dramatically reduce friction, resulting in a remarkable decrease in rolling resistance compared to its predecessors. For the competitive cyclist, this translates directly into higher speeds with less effort, giving you the critical edge when every second counts on the road. The energy you save can be the difference-maker in a breakaway or a final sprint.
Confidence in corners and on descents is paramount. The Blackbird addresses this with a 15% wider tread, providing a larger contact patch for superior grip and enhanced stability at high speeds. This is perfectly complemented by the innovative SwiftEasy Casing, which not only contributes to the tyre´s low rolling resistance but also offers a supple and responsive ride feel. This unique construction ensures the tyre conforms to the road surface, maximizing traction without sacrificing speed.
Despite its focus on outright speed, the Blackbird doesn´t compromise on longevity. Designed for the demands of rigorous training and racing, this Folding tyre boasts remarkable durability, tested to deliver over 4000km of consistent performance. This lifespan means you can train and race on the same high-performance Tubeless tyre, confident in its reliability. This 26mm tyre, with an ETRTO of 26 – 622, is the perfect choice for modern 28´´- 700c wheels for high-performance Road Cycling.
