Hutchinson Tundra Bi-Compound HardSkin Tubeless 700C x 45 Gravel TyreUnleash Year-Round Gravel Dominance with the Hutchinson Tundra TyreTackle the most demanding routes with the Hutchinson Tundra Bi-Compound HardSkin Tubeless 700C x 45, a gravel tyre engineered to excel where others falter. The Tundra has been created in response to the increasing technicality in the gravel discipline. Designed for year-round riding, the Tundra is at home on everything from muddy woodland trails to super technical rocky descents. All while maintaining the fast-rolling speed Hutchinson tyres are renowned for, allowing you to tackle hard-packed gravel and the roads that link the trails together. This is the ultimate weapon for the adventurous gravel cyclist who refuses to be limited by weather or terrain.Drawing inspiration from Hutchinson´s extensive cross-country mountain bike expertise, the Tundra provides unparalleled grip and control without sacrificing speed. Its aggressive, yet intelligent, tread pattern features prominent side knobs that dig into loose corners and off-camber sections, giving you the confidence to push your limits. The central tread is designed for lower rolling resistance and efficient mud-shedding, ensuring you remain fast and in control on flatter, faster sections.Supreme Confidence and Unmatched ProtectionThe Tundra is built for relentless performance and durability. Featuring Hutchinson´s proven HardSkin reinforcement, this tyre offers a bead-to-bead protective layer that significantly increases resistance to punctures and cuts from sharp rocks and debris. This robust construction, combined with its Tubeless Ready design, allows you to run lower tyre pressures for enhanced comfort and traction, all while benefiting from the self-sealing protection of a tubeless setup. The folding bead ensures a lighter overall weight and easier installation. Whether you´re on a multi-day bikepacking trip or a spirited local loop, the Tundra provides the peace of mind you need to ride further and harder.Performance at a Glance:* Comfort: 4/5* Performance: 3/5* Grip: 5/5* Durability: 4/5* Puncture resistance: 5/5* Lightness: 4/5---Main Features:* Aggressive Tread Design: Features tall, widely-spaced knobs inspired by XC MTB tyres for exceptional grip in mud, soft soil, and on rocky terrain.* Fast-Rolling Centerline: The central tread is optimized to reduce rolling resistance on hardpack and paved sections.* HardSkin Reinforcement: A full textile grid layer runs from bead to bead, offering best-in-class protection against punctures and sidewall tears.* Bi-Compound Construction: Utilises different rubber compounds across the tyre tread to perfectly balance rolling efficiency, cornering grip, and long-term durability.* Tubeless Ready: Optimised for a secure and reliable tubeless setup, enabling lower pressures, increased comfort, and superior puncture protection.* Folding Bead: Reduces weight and makes the tyre easier to pack and install.Technical Specifications:* Discipline: Gravel cycling, All-Road* Wheel Size: 28´´- 700C* Tyre Width: 45 mm* ETRTO: 45-622 (Compatible with rims for 47-622)* Concept: Tubeless Ready* Bead: Folding (FB)* Reinforcement: HardSkin* Recommended Pressure: 2 bar (30 psi) - 4 bar (58 psi)* Weight: approx. 580g
