The new endurance tyre from Hutchinson. Complete peace of mind, all year round. A tyre delivering exceptional performance in terms of longevity, comfort and safety. Created after extensive research and development from Hutchinson, the Challenger has been designed as a’do-it-all’ tyre capable of the demands of everyday training, Gran Fondo riding and ultra-endurance adventures. AIRSHIELDT – A Paradigm Shift in Tubeless Setups. Say goodbye to common air loss issues with the revolutionary AIRSHIELDT technology. By integrating two high-performance sealing compounds that coat both the tyre’s interior and bead, AIRSHIELDT ensures an airtight environment. The flexible butyl layer extends seamlessly to the rim, allowing it to flex and deform with the tyre’s movement, maintaining an impenetrable seal against air leakage. Furthermore, a robust, abrasion-resistant coating encircles the tyre’s bead, ensuring a seamless connection with the rim. This eliminates the need for traditional bead fabric reinforcements, enhancing sidewall flexibility and ride comfort to unprecedented levels. Tubeless Freedom with AIRSHIELDT and HARDSHIELDT. The combined power of AIRSHIELDT and HARDSHIELDT introduces the possibility of running the Challenger TLR without sealant. This opens up tubeless technology to riders who may have previously avoided it due to perceived setup and maintenance difficulties. In case of a puncture, simply install an inner tube and repair the tyre at home for a mess-free tubeless experience. Alternatively, pair the Challenger TLR with Hutchinson Protect’Air Max Sealant. For unrivaled puncture resistance, perfect for ultra-endurance riding and year-round training. Unmatched Construction and Performance. The Challenger Tubeless features a 3×127 TPI carcass matched with a new Hutchinson Endurance Bi-Compound. The 2.3mm thick central tread further enhances puncture resistance, comfort, and boasts an industry-leading 10,000km real-world lifespan. Crafted in France for Excellence. The Hutchinson Challenger TLR proudly carries the Made in France. Legacy, meticulously crafted in our historic French factory, where we have been producing tyres since 1890. Unparalleled Puncture Protection with HARDSHIELDT. Ulrich Bartholmoes, Tour Divide 2023 Winner, has covered over 9,000km without a single puncture, thanks to the Challenger TLR’s revolutionary HARDSHIELD. With a wide polyamide reinforcement and Aramid threads, it offers unmatched puncture resistance, making it ideal for ultra-distance cycling races and chaotic winter roads. I started riding the Hutchinson Challenger. Tubeless when I was preparing for the Transcontinental – an ultra long-distance cycling race from Belgium all across Europe to Bulgaria, covering a route of 4,500 kilometers nonstop. For such an endeavor, a reliable tyre delivering exceptional performance in terms of durability and puncture resistance is key. Using the Challenger Tubeless 32mm brings it all together: maximum comfort and performance while still being reliable on all kinds of terrain. During the Transcontinental, I was able to ride one pair of tyres through the whole race – without any puncture. And still – after 4,500km, those tyres are still up for more – I managed to ride a pair for more than 9,000km before the tread was ready to retire. The Challenger Tubeless is an exceptional piece of technology that never let me down. Tour Divide 2023 Winner, 5th TCR 2022, Winner Across Andes, Winner Badlands, Pedalma, 3rd The Traka 360.

When you need the best all-around road tyre, there’s only one choice: the Fusion 5 TLR. We measure tyres on ride comfort, rolling resistance, grip, wear life, toughness and weight, and the performance is off the charts in every category. You get the same fast, grippy Eleven Storm compound as all Fusion 5 series tyres, paired to a more robust Kevlar Pro Tech flat protection layer. With an unparalleled, uncompromising ride, it’s a tyre for every road. The Hutchinson Fusion 5 Performance is an excellent all-rounder at a good price. For fast group rides, commutes and café rides, they don’t skip a beat regardless of weather. It provides plenty of speed yet good puncture protection – Road CC. Many moons ago Hutchinson, along with Shimano, pioneered tubeless road tyres. And this legacy shows in the latest Fusion 5 Performance 11Storm. It’s an extremely good tubeless tyre. With easy installation and grippy behaviour. These stick to the road in the wet, affording confident cornering speeds. Durability is an impressive trait and they coped well with some dirty roads. According to its maker, our Performance model scores consistently across its five criteria – weight, protection, performance, grip, and comfort – making this version the brand’s go-to racing tyre. As much as I hate to agree with a brand’s marketing material, on the road these tyres do seem pretty well-rounded in their abilities.

Bad pavement and bumpy roads are no match for the Sector, the tire of choice for Paris-Roubaix winner Niki Terpstra. But you don’t have to ride cobbles to appreciate the Sector’s sublime ride quality, thanks to a tubeless-ready casing, bead-to-bead Hardskin flat protection layer, and bump-eating volume. With a dual-compound rubber tread that balances grip and fast-rolling efficiency, it’s ideal for long training miles on those secluded roads that time and public works departments have forgotten. The Sector is the reference tire for challenging roads. Initially developed with our professional racers for the Spring Classic races, this tire is the reason why the Tubeless Ready design was developed. Its lateral sheared profile gives satisfaction to the most aggressive riders in curves. While its tread in association with an effective compound makes it a fast and rolling tire. Gives priority to comfort, lightness and resistance. Dual compound to optimize the grip/durability compromise. Designed for competition and long-distance training on difficult roads. The top tyre to ride on cobbles. Can be used for Gravel rides. A high-performance, high-volume tubeless tyre – ideal for riding dirt, cobbles or just really rough roads. After a few months of testing on and off the tarmac, we can recommend the Sector as an excellent multi-surface road tyre. The Sectors performed well and never left me standing on the side of the road adding a tube or waiting for a ride. Even for training, if you prefer a fast, race-ready tire and need reliability, it is hard to find a better performing tire. They’re comfortable, difficult to puncture, comfortable, quick and comfortable.
