HUTCHINSON tire Blackbird TLR 28" | 700 x 28C black / tan
With the Blackbird road bike tires, the traditional French brand Hutchinson raises the bar a notch higher. The Blackbird is not only the fastest tire in Hutchinson's company history, thanks to the revolutionary SwiftEasy carcass and Mach Tread 3.0 rubber compound, it combines outstanding comfort, grip and low rolling resistance. A layer of polyamide fabric under the tread ensures good puncture protection, and thanks to a 15% wider tread, the Blackbird also cuts a fine figure on modern rims with a large inner width. To ensure the highest possible manufacturing quality, the Blackbird is produced in France.
SwiftEasy Casing
This groundbreaking carcass construction ensures an extremely supple and easy-rolling tire. The construction uses a 2-ply 127 TPI carcass, which does not overlap under the tread. An additional layer from tire bead to tire bead ensures perfect tubeless properties. This means that there are only two plies under the tread as opposed to 3 plies in overlapping constructions, which significantly improves the tire's performance.
Mach Tread 3.0
With the Mach Tread 3.0, Hutchinson sets a new standard for speed and efficiency. Thanks to its outstanding rebound properties, the rubber compound has extremely high flexibility and therefore ensures extremely low rolling resistance and perfect grip. At the same time, the engineers succeeded in making the Mach Tread 3.0 75% more tear-resistant than the previous high-performance rubber compound. This ensures high resistance to cuts.
Racing Lab
Hutchinson Racing Lab tires are developed in close collaboration between engineers, tire designers and world-class athletes at the historic Hutchinson headquarters in Chalette-sur Loing. Thanks to in-house production, prototypes can be produced, tested under the toughest conditions and further developed in the shortest possible time.
