Hutchinson Python 2 Tube Type Hardskin XC/ Trail Tyre

When you’ve been around a few decades, you learn a few things, but you don’t do it by staying still. The Python 2 has stood the test of time (and won a cabinet full of medals) through continual refinements to make it one of the best performance XC tires on the start line. It’s versatile enough for almost any trail, with a fast-rolling center section and wide, low-height knobs for efficient power transfer and grip at the rear wheel with less power lost to lug squirm. Squared-off shoulders make even off-camber sections feel like hero dirt, thanks partly to the softer shoulder compound in the RR.XC tread technology.

STRENGTHS

• Legendary tire, multiple winner of the XC World Cup.
• Fast rolling “square” effective profile.
• Gives performance, grip and high-quality fast rolling capacity.
• More reliable thanks to compound thickness and raised sidewalls.

"For me, the best word to describe the Python 2 is VERSATILITY. It is mounted on my XCountry and All Mountain bikes 90% of the time. I use it mainly in rear mounts for its excellent grip in traction and braking while maintaining a very good yield. The PYTHON 2 performs well on dry and mixed grounds. With the Hardskin casing, it is very resistant. With the Python 2 at the back, and the Kraken at the front, I could win 6 times the mythical Transvésubienne." - Alexis CHENEVIER, 6 times Transvésubienne Winner
