Hutchinson Wyrm 29x2.40 MTB Trail Downcountry Tyre Tan Wall Tubeless Ready

The Hutchinson Wyrm MTB Trail Downcountry Tyre Tan Wall is a masterful blend of innovation and performance, designed to elevate your mountain biking experience. Crafted by Hutchinson, a pioneer in tubeless cycling tyre technology, this tyre bridges the gap between cross-country and enduro riding with remarkable agility and resilience. Its 29 x 2.40 size and tan wall aesthetics give your bike a distinctive look while ensuring exceptional performance on varied terrains.

Built with a 66 TPI carcass and enhanced by Hutchinson's signature XC Race Riposte tri-compound rubber, the Wyrm offers an optimal balance of efficiency, responsiveness, and puncture protection. The robust Hardskin bead-to-bead reinforcement acts like an armour, enabling it to withstand harsh conditions without compromising on weight or speed. This tyre’s large volume allows for lower pressures, delivering superior traction and comfort on rugged trails, while its low-profile design ensures quick acceleration and excellent efficiency on dry surfaces.

Inspired by a mythical creature known for its agility and strength, the Wyrm’s tread pattern features large dual chevrons for enhanced braking and rolling speed, alongside high lateral knobs for confident grip in sharp turns. The alternating side knobs and small grooves further improve cornering stability and grip, making it a versatile choice for riders seeking a reliable, all-weather downcountry setup or a complementary pairing with Hutchinson’s Kraken or Griffus tyres for more specialized trail or enduro riding.
