Hutchinson's New Gravel Racing Tyres
As gravel cycling continues to surge in popularity, Hutchinson reaffirms its commitment to the discipline with the launch of two groundbreaking products: the Caracal Race and Caracal tyres.

Embracing Gravel: A Story of Passion and Expertise
At Hutchinson, gravel isn’t just a trend — it’s a way of life. Since the beginning, we’ve been immersed in the gravel scene, cultivating a profound understanding of its unique demands and endless possibilities. From winding backcountry trails to epic endurance races, we’ve witnessed the evolution of gravel riding firsthand and have continuously adapted to meet the needs of riders worldwide.
Our passion for gravel extends beyond mere participation — it’s ingrained in our DNA. With over 130 years of expertise in manufacturing top road tyres and pioneering advancements in mountain bike tyres, including the invention of tubeless technology, we bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the gravel discipline. Our commitment to developing and producing tyres in France with the finest materials and compounds ensures that we deliver nothing but the best to the gravel community. This deep-seated love for the sport fuels our relentless pursuit of innovation, driving us to create products that redefine the gravel riding experience.
Inspired by Excellence: Introducing the Caracal Race
With the Caracal Race, Hutchinson raises the bar for elite gravel performance. Drawing inspiration from our latest developments in road racing with the Blackbird, we’ve integrated cutting-edge technologies to deliver a tyre that’s truly in a class of its own. Designed for the demands of competitive racing, the Caracal Race is engineered to save precious watts and propel riders to victory. Indeed, rolling resistance is reduced by an unprecedented 40% over similar semi-slick gravel tyres in the Hutchinson range.
At the heart of the Caracal Race lies our revolutionary SwiftEasy casing technology, borrowed from our high-performance road tyres. By reducing rolling resistance and increasing flexibility, this innovative construction ensures maximum speed and efficiency on any terrain. Paired with our high-performance Mach Tread 3.0 compound, our fastest compound ever developed, the Caracal Race offers unparalleled responsiveness, setting a new standard for gravel racing excellence.
