Description:
The Hutchinson Wyrm is a 29-inch tyre that bridges the gap between XC and enduro. Indeed, it is a tyre that covers the entire spectrum of XC, trail, all-mountain and light enduro. It performs well on different terrains and in varied conditions when paired with other tyres from the Hutchinson range such as the Kraken or the Griffus.
For XC Down-country riding, it’s worth pairing a Wyrm at the front with a Kraken 29.2.40 at the rear. This combination offers grip and efficiency, allowing you to ride aggressively on descents whilst maintaining speed on rolling sections.
If you’re into light all-mountain or enduro riding, you should opt for a Hutchinson Griffus 29x2.40 at the front for maximum confidence on challenging descents. At the rear, pair it with a Hutchinson Wyrm 29x2.40 tyre for effective acceleration and good traction on technical sections.
In terms of construction, the Hutchinson Wyrm tyre features a 66 TPI casing combined with the Race Ripost (RR XC) dual-compound which optimises low rolling resistance. It also features a Side Skin reinforcement that offers good puncture resistance. In practice, this provides an ideal balance between performance, responsiveness and durability.
Its generous 29x2.40 profile allows you to ride at low pressures for optimal tyre deformation on the ground, delivering better grip and excellent traction. Furthermore, its fairly rounded profile provides a high-performance tread and side knobs offering remarkable grip in corners. This ensures a smooth and reassuring transition between the centre and the side of the tyre when entering a bend.
Finally, this version is available in black and weighs 1000 grams.
As you can see, this tyre is incredibly versatile, and is sure to delight you on your rides on trails of varying difficulty!
