Engineered for performance-driven riders and demanding gravel racers, the Caracal Race is the ultimate weapon for fast, dry, and mixed-terrain courses where every watt counts. This tyre is meticulously designed to deliver blistering straight-line velocity without sacrificing the crucial cornering grip needed to stay in control and ahead of the pack.Key Benefits for the Performance Rider:The primary advantage of the Caracal Race is its exceptional rolling efficiency. The design focuses on minimizing resistance on hardpack and smooth gravel, allowing you to maintain higher speeds with less effort. This translates directly into conserved energy over long distances and a decisive advantage in sprints. When the course transitions to technical sections, the tyre provides predictable and confidence-inspiring handling, letting you carve through corners and navigate loose-over-hardpack terrain with precision. Furthermore, its robust construction offers reliable protection against punctures, giving you the peace of mind to push your limits without fear of race-ending flats. The supple casing enhances comfort, reducing rider fatigue and ensuring you feel fresh for that final push to the finish line.Main Features:The Caracal Race achieves its remarkable performance through a series of advanced features. Its tread pattern is a masterclass in efficiency, featuring a semi-slick, fast-rolling central line that is flanked by progressively larger and more aggressive shoulder knobs. This dual-purpose design ensures minimal drag when riding upright and maximum grip when leaning into a turn.Built on a high-performance 127 TPI casing, the tyre offers a uniquely supple and responsive ride feel, conforming to the terrain for superior traction and comfort. This is complemented by Hutchinson´s proven Hardskin bead-to-bead reinforcement, a textile grid that provides comprehensive protection against cuts and abrasions across both the tread and sidewalls.As a premier Tubeless Ready tyre, it allows for lower inflation pressures, which dramatically improves grip, comfort, and puncture resistance by self-sealing with the use of sealant. The Folding bead not only reduces overall weight but also makes for easier installation and storage. Specifically designed for modern Gravel cycling, this tyre is the perfect choice for your next event or fast-paced adventure.Technical Specifications:* Product: HUTCHINSON Caracal Race* Intended Use: Gravel Cycling, Racing* Wheel Size: 28´´- 700c* Tyre Width: 40 mm* ETRTO: 40-622* Type: Tubeless Ready (Requires sealant)* Bead: Folding* Casing: 127 TPI* Reinforcement: Hardskin (Bead-to-Bead)* Tread Technology: Mach Tread 3.0* Recommended Terrain: Dry, Mixed, Hardpack, Fast-Rolling Gravel* Weight: 475 g Find out more...
