Hutchinson Kraken Tubeless Ready Fast XC/Trail MTB Tyre The Hutchinson Kraken is a high performance, fast rolling MTB tyre engineered for modern XC, downcountry, and trail riding. Developed in collaboration with XC athletes, the Kraken blends speed with confidence inspiring traction, making it a versatile choice for riders who want efficiency on climbs and stability on increasingly technical terrain. At its core, the Kraken uses a high volume profile and a carefully designed tread inspired by Hutchinson’s celebrated Skeleton XC tyre. The centre tread features low, tightly packed knobs for maximum rolling speed, while the shoulders use more aggressive, widely spaced blocks that bite into corners and off camber surfaces—delivering stability on loose over hardpack, rocky singletrack and technical trail features. The Kraken features Sideskin reinforcement, offering improved cut resistance and pinch flat protection while maintaining a supple trail feel. Built on a 66 TPI carcass, it balances durability, support and traction, while the bi compound rubber pairs a durable fast rolling centre with high grip side knobs. As a Tubeless Ready tyre, the Kraken supports low pressures for improved grip, comfort, and puncture protection—making it an ideal all rounder for cross country racers, aggressive downcountry riders and lightweight trail setups. Handmade in France, the Kraken offers top tier performance for demanding MTB adventures.
