BI-COMPOUND

Thanks to our road and mountain bike expertise, we have developed a bi-compound meant to meet worldwide versatility : ensuring maximum comfort and safety on rough terrains as well as performance, either on or off-road. A softer and more flexible side compound reinforce the grip and deformation, while the central harder compound ensures rolling performance.

Hutchinson’s bi-compoung has been a key asset in the development of the Touareg. R&D challenge was to find the very best compromise between the tire’s souplesse / casing flexibility, reinforcement, optimal weight and high performance, to meet the best gravel cyclists needs.

The worldwide versatility of the Touareg is also in part thanks to the continued development in the architecture of its knobs. The smaller and more compact small-bllocks contribute to comfort and performance, on both rough terrain and smooth tarmac. In contrast, the large amount of knobs and their greater spacing, mean the Touareg has grip on various types of wet hardpack terrain (road, roots, stones) and dry conditions (gravel, sand, dust).

Hutchinson’s bi-compound is also a key asset in the development of many other gravel, road and mountain bike tires.
