Hutchinson Blackbird Tubeless Folding Road Tyre - 700c - Black / Tan / 700c / 32mm / Tubeless

The Blackbird is the next exciting chapter in this story. An evolution that is a result of over a century of equipping champions and turning Hutchinson's consuming passion for innovation and performance into technologies that propel the sport of cycling forward. Four years of extensive research and development have gone into creating the Blackbird, resulting in the fastest tyre every developed by Hutchinson. Rolling resistance has been improved by 10% compared to the previous generation Fusion 5 but with an increased class leading lifespan of over 4,000 km of real-world riding. Central to the reduction in rolling resistance is Hutchinson's new "SwiftEasy" casing design. This new construction sees the tyres casing wrapped around the bead then bonded directly to a central polyamide puncture protection strip instead of the usual process of overlapping these layers. A final layer of casing runs from bead to bead to reduce air leakage. SwiftEasy casing ensures a much more flexible point of
