What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I put the Python 3 29x2. 3 tubetype on a budget trail build and it's been rock solid. The wire bead mounts easily, the 33 TPI casing shrugs off rough shoulders, and the updated center tread brakes better than older Pythons. It rolls quick on hardpack, corners predictably, and the gumwall look is a bonus."We reach for the Hutchinson Python 3 29in Tubetype (PV704955) when we want simple, reliable performance with that classic gumwall vibe. The latest Python keeps the fast XC feel but widens the central tread for more braking bite and calmer tracking on dry, mixed, and hardpack trails. Built for easy serviceability, this tubetype version uses a sturdy wire bead, a durable 33 TPI casing, and a long-wearing mono-compound rubber-perfect for riders who prefer tubes for straightforward maintenance and day-in, day-out dependability.
