HUTCHINSON Blackbird Road Tire
Best high performance choice for dedicated year round road cyclists.
This is the rare road tire that actually delivers on the promise of year-round reliability without feeling sluggish. By prioritizing a thicker, dual-compound tread, it sacrifices a touch of pure racing weight for the peace of mind that you won't be changing a flat in the rain.
