Hutchinson Caracal Race Gravel Tyre in Tan

Season:2024

Brand:Hutchinson

Code:HUT.TYR.CARACAL.TR.RACE

The Caracal Race is Hutchinson's answer to a question the gravel world didn't know it was asking: what happens when you apply road racing tyre technology to gravel? The answer, independently verified, is the fastest gravel tyre on the market — one that out-rolls a slick 38mm road tyre on the benchmark tests that matter.

Handcrafted in France and developed through Hutchinson's Racing Lab programme, the Caracal Race draws direct inspiration from the Blackbird road tyre. Its semi-slick tread design features a smooth central rolling band that minimises contact resistance at speed, flanked by angled side knobs that bite progressively into corners — delivering confidence at the limit without sacrificing the flat-out pace that defines this tyre's character.

The SwiftEasy casing at 127 TPI gives the Caracal Race an almost road-like suppleness. Rather than layering up protection materials in the traditional way, the casing bonds its protection directly into the structure itself, allowing the tyre to deform naturally over loose surfaces and absorb trail chatter without deflecting momentum. The result is a ride that feels alive and communicative — planted, not vague.

At the contact patch, the Mach Tread 3.0 compound completes the package. Hutchinson's fastest compound ever, it delivers 25% greater energy return than its predecessor, meaning every watt you put in comes back. Tear resistance is up 10%, and the optimised ShA hardness rating ensures the compound holds together through the abrasive conditions that gravel racing dishes out.

Tubeless ready and hookless rim compatible as standard. Available in classic black or tan wall finish, in 700x40c (475g), 700x45c (500g) and 700x50c (550g).

Features:

  • Tubeless ready (TR), fits tubeless rims with no inner tube and also standard rims with inner tube.
  • Bead: folding.
  • Hutchinson's fastest compound ever developed. +25% energy return, +10% hardness, +75% tearing performance vs 11 Storm.
