Its success is a testament to its exceptional design and unwavering commitment to innovation.
Evolution for the Modern Era
As XC racing has evolved, so too has the Python. Recognizing the need for tyres better suited to modern riding conditions, we embarked on a journey to create the next generation of Python tyres. The result? The Python 3 and Python Race, meticulously engineered to meet the demands of today’s XC racers.
Race to Victory

Designed exclusively for elite-level XC racing, this tyre represents the culmination of Hutchinson’s tireless pursuit of speed, precision, and uncompromising performance. As the tyre of choice for the 2024 XCO World Cups and the highly anticipated summer Olympics in Paris, the Python Race has already proven its mettle on the global stage, with Savilia Blunk securing an impressive 2nd place at Maripora, Brazil – her most significant achievement to date.
Featuring a super-lightweight construction weighing in at just 600g, the Python Race is purpose-built for speed, with an ultra-low profile central tread that ensures unmatched rolling efficiency.
