The Touareg Hardskin is a tubeless gravel tire built for rides alternating between rough tracks and fast sections. 127 TPI casing with bead-to-bead Hardskin protection: it withstands sharp rocks and delivers dependable cornering grip in the wet. Made in France, available in 40, 45, and 50 mm.
The Touareg Hardskin is Hutchinson's gravel tire designed for rough terrain and rides mixing rugged tracks with fast-rolling sections. Its pronounced, high-volume knobs provide solid bite on the most chaotic trails, while the continuous center tread preserves rolling efficiency on tarmac. The 127 TPI tubeless-ready casing features bead-to-bead Hardskin reinforcement—a dense textile grid protecting both the tread and sidewalls against sharp rock cuts. Made in France.
Key Features
Bead-to-bead Hardskin reinforcement: A protective textile mesh beneath the tread and sidewalls absorbs impacts from sharp rocks, preventing cuts from tearing open on rough terrain.
Pronounced tread pattern: High shoulder knobs maintain grip through wet corners, while the tight center strip rolls smoothly without vibration on fast stretches.
127 TPI Tubeless Ready casing: Run tubeless at lower pressures to conform to the ground, filter vibrations, and maximize the contact patch on loose descents.
Dual compound: A harder central compound for rolling speed and wear resistance, paired with softer shoulder rubber for cornering traction.
Compatibility
The Touareg Hardskin mounts tubeless on hookless 700c rims in widths 40-622, 45-622, and 50-622. It is engineered for low gravel pressures, up to 51 psi for the 700x40 variant.
For long-distance rides and bikepacking, make sure to add tubeless sealant. Need advice on tire clearance or rim compatibility? Contact us.
