New 50mm 700c tyres are designed for bikepackers, gravel adventurers and electric gravel bikes <\/p>

Hutchinson\u2019s Touareg, Tundra and Overide gravel bike tyres are now available in a 50mm-wide option for 700c wheels.<\/p>\n

The tyres had previously been available in widths up to 45mm, with Hutchinson saying the new width increases comfort and versatility without sacrificing performance.<\/p>\n

The Touareg and Overide are also available in 650b x 47mm size.<\/p>\n

Hutchinson<\/a> says the increased width makes the new tyres particularly suitable for electric gravel bikes<\/a>. They\u2019re also geared to non-assisted bikepacking<\/a> and exploring technical off-road terrain.<\/p>\n

The Touareg has a fine tread pattern designed for dry conditions, the Tundra<\/a> has a more aggressive tread pattern for loose and muddy conditions, while the Overide is a fast-rolling tyre with a low central tread profile designed for tarmac and dry hardpack.<\/p>\n

Hutchinson suggests using a front tyre with a more aggressive tread than at the rear.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n

Hutchinson reckons there\u2019s room for a mix-and-match approach too. A more aggressive tyre could be fitted to tighten up front-wheel handling, with a slicker rear tyre to improve rear-wheel speed \u2013 a sort of half-mullet.<\/p>\n

Apart from the new width, the tyres are comparable to Hutchinson\u2019s existing gravel tyre<\/a> range. It has used the same bi-compound rubber as in its current tyres, along with its Hardskin puncture protection.<\/p>\n

All three tyres sit on a 127 TPI carcass and come with oh-so-trendy tan sidewalls<\/a>. As you\u2019d expect, the new tyres are tubeless-ready<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The good news is the new, wider tyres don\u2019t have a higher price tag, with a suggested retail price of \u00a349.95, matching the narrower Hutchinson gravel tyres.<\/p>\n
