Hutchinson Python 2 mountain bike tyre

When you’ve been in the business for decades, you’re constantly learning – but certainly not standing still. The Python 2 has stood the test of time (and filled a trophy cabinet) thanks to constant improvements that have made it one of the best-performing XC tyres. It’s versatile enough for almost any trail, with a fast-rolling centre section and wide, low-profile knobs for efficient power transfer and rear-wheel grip, whilst minimising power loss thanks to the knob spacing. Square shoulders make it easy to tackle banked corners, particularly thanks to the triple RR.XC compound, which is softer on the sidewalls.
