HUTCHINSON tire Caracal TLR 700 x 40C black
Low rolling resistance and high puncture protection need not be a contradiction in terms. With its semi-slick tread and hard-skin puncture protection layer, the Hutchinson Caracal is a fast, carefree tire for everyday use as well as for ultra races. Its bi-compound tread offers minimal rolling resistance on asphalt and fast gravel tracks, while the outwardly growing tread blocks give you the necessary cornering grip and make the tire extremely versatile. To ensure the highest possible manufacturing quality, the Caracal is produced by hand in France.
3x 127 TPI carcass
The carcass of the Caracal consists of extremely light and flexible 127 TPI fabric, which is processed in 2 layers on the sidewalls and in 3 overlapping layers under the tread.
Bi-compound
The bi-compound tread consists of 2 different rubber compounds. A harder rubber in the middle ensures minimum rolling resistance and high mileage. A softer rubber compound on the sides offers high adaptability to the ground and therefore the best possible grip.
Hardskin
Originally developed for Hutchinson mountain bike tires, this puncture protection layer from tire bead to tire bead offers excellent puncture protection on the sidewalls and under the tread against cuts and punctures.
