What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"The Wyrm Racing Lab surprised me in the best way. It rolls almost like a fast XC tire but has the volume, grip, and casing support I need for aggressive trail riding. It’s perfect for those rides where I’m climbing for hours but want to bomb the descents."Inspired by mythical strength and engineered with modern trail intent, the Hutchinson Wyrm 29in Tubeless Ready Racing Lab tire is built to dominate downcountry and technical XC terrain. Designed to slot between lightweight speed and burly control, the Wyrm gives us all the advantages of volume, traction, and protection without dragging down efficiency. Developed with Hutchinson’s elite Racing Lab team and handmade in France, the Wyrm takes cues from Hutchinson's XC race favorites like the Skeleton and Kraken while adapting for the rowdier realities of aggressive trail riding. Its low-profile, chevron-based center tread delivers fast-rolling efficiency and confident braking bite, while widely spaced side knobs dig in with progressive grip across roots, rocks, and loose corners. The Race Ripost XC triple-compound rubber is tuned for compliance and rebound control, while the Hardskin casing reinforces the entire tire with cut-resistant protection, making it an ideal choice for riders who toe the line between climbing efficiency and downhill aggression.
