HUTCHINSON Caracal Race TLR gravel tire

The Caracal Race TLR is Hutchinson's dedicated gravel race tire, engineered for dry, hard-packed terrain. Its SwiftEasy Casing lowers rolling resistance, the Mach Tread 3.0 compound maximizes power transfer with every pedal stroke, and hookless compatibility expands rim choices. Developed alongside gravel racers, it delivers up to 40% better rolling efficiency than standard semi-slicks in the range. Available in 700x40, 700x45, and 700x50.

Key Features

SwiftEasy Casing: The central tread conforms to the ground rather than bouncing, converting every watt into forward momentum on hardpack.

Mach Tread 3.0 Compound: Reliable grip through sharp corners and crisp energy return during sudden accelerations.

Tubeless Ready + Hookless: Tubeless setup allows lower pressures to absorb trail chatter while maintaining high rolling speeds on fast sections.

Three Width Options: 700x40 (475 g) for pure speed, 700x45 (560 g) for balanced performance, 700x50 (630 g) for added clearance and traction on rougher tracks.

Compatibility

700c tire for tubeless-ready hooked or hookless rims (ETRTO 40-622, 45-622, 50-622). Recommended internal rim width: 19 to 25 mm.
