Unmatched Performance, Superior Comfort

With a rich heritage deeply rooted in gravel riding and a passion for pushing the boundaries of performance, Hutchinson's latest offerings epitomize excellence, innovation, and unwavering dedication to the gravel community.

With the Caracal Race, Hutchinson raises the bar for elite gravel performance.

By reducing rolling resistance and increasing flexibility, this innovative construction ensures maximum speed and efficiency on any terrain. Paired with the high-performance Mach Tread 3.0 compound, Hutchinson's fastest compound ever developed, the Caracal Race offers unparalleled responsiveness, setting a new standard for gravel racing excellence.
