Taipan TLR Hardskin 29 x 2.25 Black

The Hutchinson Taipan TLR Hardskin in 29 x 2.25 is a fast-rolling 29er XC tire built for riders who want efficiency on hardpack without giving up precise handling. Its ultra-low center tread is tuned for low rolling resistance, while the flexible 3×127 TPI casing helps the tire conform to trail texture for more consistent traction on both dry and damp hardpack.

• Ultra-low profile center tread - Keeps rolling resistance down for quicker acceleration and sustained speed on hardpack-focused XC courses
• Hardpack-focused tread design - Delivers predictable grip and steering accuracy when trails are firm, including when conditions turn wet
• TLR (Tubeless Ready) - Supports tubeless setups for lower pressures, improved ride feel, and reduced pinch-flat risk compared to tubes
• Hardskin protection - Adds casing reinforcement for better cut and puncture resistance in real-world XC riding
• 3×127 TPI casing - A supple construction that helps maintain speed while improving contact and control over small trail chatter
