The Blackbird Race is Hutchinson's race-day road tire, developed alongside the Intermarché-Wanty World Tour team and Olympic triathlete Alex Yee. It combines the Ultraswift casing—22% lighter and 23% thinner—with the Mach Tread Ultimate compound, boosting energy rebound by 25%. Hutchinson claims a 10% increase in rolling efficiency over the previous model. Made in France, tubeless ready, and hookless compatible.
Key Highlights
Ultraswift casing: 22% lighter and 23% thinner casing. Accelerate faster with less rotating mass.
Mach Tread Ultimate compound: 25% higher energy rebound and enhanced grip. Cornering forces and power transfer translate straight into speed instead of dissipating into the rubber.
3x127 TPI, Tubeless Ready: Supple casing that conforms to the road surface with a tubeless setup. Run lower pressures without pinch flat risks.
Developed with Intermarché-Wanty: Proven in World Tour racing and validated by Olympic gold medalist Alex Yee. Built for top-tier performance.
