Our usage tips:
- Ideal for XC and sport touring.
- We recommend this tyre for use on wet and rocky terrain; it offers excellent grip whilst maintaining good performance.
- Recommended for front wheel fitting. On the rear, you can pair it with a Hutchinson Toro 29x2.25 if the terrain is very wet and muddy. If conditions are slightly damp, you might consider fitting the Python 2 on the rear in 29x2.25.

Very disappointed with this tire (in 29”) because it is already very, very difficult to make it stick tubeless, even impossible if you don't have a compressor with more than 8 bars of pressure. After that, it's a very fragile tire, I did 200 km and the tire punctured on the side (6 mm cut) so it can no longer be used tubeless, too bad because in terms of use it is very correct and versatile.
