Hutchinson Blackbird Road Tire
Best high performance choice for endurance cyclists seeking speed and comfort.
This is the rare road tire that actually bridges the gap between race-day speed and daily-commuter durability. By pairing a fast-rolling center with a reinforced, puncture-resistant casing, it sacrifices a bit of featherweight suppleness for the peace of mind that you won't be changing a flat on the side of the road.
