Engineered for Pure Speed and Victory
The Hutchinson Caracal Race is the culmination of extensive research and development at the Hutchinson Racing Lab, designed with a singular purpose: to be the fastest gravel tyre available. Its design is meticulously optimized for minimal rolling resistance on hard-pack and dry gravel surfaces. The semi-slick center tread provides a lightning-fast contact patch for incredible straight-line velocity, allowing you to conserve energy and outpace the competition. This tyre is the ultimate choice for competitive racers and riders who demand maximum efficiency and speed on race day. The featherlight construction, supported by a high-thread-count casing, ensures every watt of power is translated directly into forward momentum.
Agile Handling and Advanced Technology
While built for raw speed, the Caracal Race doesn´t compromise on control. The tread pattern features more pronounced shoulder knobs that engage as you lean, providing confident and predictable grip through fast corners and on looser surfaces. This dual-profile design gives you the best of both worlds: extreme speed on the flats and the confidence to maintain it through technical sections. At its core is the revolutionary Mach Tread 3.0 compound, a formula directly derived from our top-tier road racing tyres, offering exceptional energy return and durability for high-performance riding. This is paired with the supple SwiftEasy casing, which conforms beautifully to the terrain, enhancing comfort, traction, and overall ride feel without sacrificing responsiveness. This tyre is a folding, tubeless-ready model designed specifically for the rigors and demands of modern gravel cycling.
