The Secret to All-Weather Grip and Performance

When it comes to cycling, grip is everything—especially when the weather turns against you. Hutchinson’s Safetread technology, featured in the new Blackbird All Season tyre, is a game-changer for riders who demand confidence and control in challenging conditions. This innovative rubber compound is designed to deliver exceptional grip without compromising speed, making it the ultimate solution for all-weather performance.

What Makes Safetread Special?

Safetread is a revolutionary rubber compound specifically engineered for the sides of the Blackbird All Season tyre’s tread. It’s paired with the Mach Tread 3.0 compound in the center, creating a bi-compound tread that combines the best of both worlds:

Mach Tread 3.0 in the Center
Ensures low rolling resistance for maximum speed and efficiency on straightaways.

Safetread on the Sides
Provides unparalleled grip in corners and wet conditions, maintaining traction even in cold or slippery environments.

This dual-compound design ensures that the tyre performs exceptionally well in all conditions, offering riders the perfect balance of speed, safety, and control.

When Does Safetread Shine?

Safetread technology is designed to excel in the most demanding riding conditions. Here’s where it makes all the difference:

Wet Roads

Rain can turn even the smoothest roads into a slippery challenge. Safetread’s advanced rubber compound ensures superior grip, reducing the risk of sliding or losing control during cornering.

Cold Weather

In freezing temperatures, traditional rubber compounds can harden, reducing grip. Safetread maintains its flexibility and traction, even in icy or near-freezing conditions.

Loose or Debris-Covered Surfaces

Whether you’re navigating gravel, wet leaves, or uneven terrain, Safetread provides the extra grip needed to stay stable and confident.

Technical Descents

On steep or winding descents, especially in wet or cold conditions, Safetread’s cornering grip gives riders the confidence to push their limits safely.
