HUTCHINSON SKELETON 29x2.30 Racing Lab Hardskin Race Ripost XC tire Tubeless Ready Soft Black

Used in the XC World Cup by some of the discipline's best riders, including David Valero (world top 10), the HUTCHINSON Skeleton Racing Lab 29x2.30 tire is an ultra-high-performance model designed exclusively for racing. Cross-Country on dry terrain.

Even more extreme than the Python 2, the Skeleton will delight riders eager for performance and reactivity, thanks to a 53 mm cross-section offering a gain in deformation and lateral support conducive to aggressive, committed riding. The tread has been designed for optimum performance, always in contact with the ground, while the progressive intermediate and lateral studs provide safety and are particularly useful on wide rims.

Designed around an ultra-flexible, lightweight 66 TPI carcass, the Skeleton features the RaceRipost XC tread compound dedicated to pure performance, with a hard compound in the middle to guarantee high performance, and a softer compound on the sides for good grip.
This version also features Harskin bead-to-bead reinforcement, providing highly effective protection against cuts, tears, punctures and heavy impacts.

The Skeleton is ideal for both front and rear riding.
