The new tyre Hutchinson Tundra find theinspiration from the MTB segment and focuses on the technical and demanding gravel. This type of rubber can be the optimal response for those athletes who they approach the discipline in an aggressive and transversal way, pushing towards the trails normally tackled with the mountain bike. Also Hutchinson Tundra, can be a good reference for the soft and muddy terrain. Let's look at the coverage in detail.
Black Mamba Recall
The appeal of off-road is always strong and it's not just a historical issue. There are technical aspects and a technical know-how Hutchinson which has been developed over the years, then reported in the various categories of tires. Hutchinson Tundra it is also the result of what is the gravel today, a sort of large container for the world of cyclingHere you will find the different types of cyclists, each with their own way of approaching the bike.Gravel is also a very technical discipline and with gravel bikes you ride on singletracks normally tackled with mountain bikes. Tundra is a tubeless ready tire, which in some aspects looks like the Black Mamba, much used and appreciated by an athlete of the caliber of Julien Absalon (and not only).
Suitable for muddy terrain
Together with the more versatile Touareg, model Tundra enriches and completes the top-level segment of gravel-specific tiresIts design and positioning of the tessellation (directional), allows for constant grip and smoothness at the same time. central studs form a sort of uniform roundness e a part of the tiles which is slightly discharged and flared. This is a deliberate solution, because it creates a deformation advantageous when travelling on rocky stretches: the grip and cushioning effect increase. At the same time, the studs are close together, full and have a differentiated width, guaranteeing protection and ease of rolling. The entire central section è “detached” from the lateral crampons, simplifying evacuation of mud and debris.
The side knobs for grip
I crampons placed on the edges They come directly from the mountain bike, in terms of design and concept. They must not negatively affect the smoothness and must not retain excessive mud, but at the same time they become a reference in the curves, in the phases of support and cornering. Il external side of these the crampons presents what is called “Hutchinson Signature”, because the side has a H-shapeThis solution allows him to adapt and deform to the full advantage of grip. Hutchinson Tundra it's a tire for mixed terrain and muddy conditions? Yes, that's right.
