    Key features

    Pneu VTT Hutchinson Python Race, bande de roulement, vue de face

    The centre tread is only 1.5 mm tall. Knobs this low barely move under load: according to Hutchinson, it is the fastest-rolling tyre in its MTB range.

    The side knobs stand taller than the centre. They take the load as soon as the bike leans over, with the tyre's softest compound.

    Race Ripost XC combines a base compound that supports the casing, a harder centre to transmit power and softer sides for cornering.

    On a 30 mm wide rim, the 29 × 2.40 gives 60 mm of volume according to Hutchinson. It deforms at low pressure and keeps traction through technical sections.

    Description

    The Hutchinson Python Race is a cross-country MTB tyre, in 29 × 2.40 only, built for elite XC on hardpacked terrain.

    Its centre tread is only 1.5 mm high: knobs that low barely move under load and waste little energy, which makes it the fastest-rolling tyre in Hutchinson's MTB range, according to the brand. Cornering grip comes from the side knobs, which stand prouder.

    Volume makes up for it: 60 mm on a 30 mm rim according to Hutchinson, enough to keep traction at low pressure. Its pressure chart starts at 1.40 bar for a 70 kg rider with kit, 1.15 bar on hookless. The downside: without Hardskin, Hutchinson rates it 2 out of 5 for puncture resistance. It is an XC mountain bike tyre for race day, not a gravel tyre.

    Born in the Racing Lab and developed with the Decathlon Ford Racing Team, it is handmade in France, in Châlette-sur-Loing. We offer it for a wheelset kept for racing.
