Hutchinson Caracal Race Tire Black/Tan, 700x40

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I mounted Caracal Race for a high-speed gravel block and never felt held back. It spins up instantly, tracks predictably through loose-over-hard corners, and sets up tubeless without drama. If you want race pace with real control, this is the tire I'd pick."When the course demands speed on straightaways and precision in off-camber turns, Caracal Race delivers. Drawing from the Racing Lab program, it blends a fast-rolling Mach Tread 3. 0 compound with a SwiftEasy 127 TPI casing to turn pedal strokes into effortless acceleration while keeping the contact patch calm over washboards and hardpack chatter. A progressive tread pattern balances minimal center rolling resistance with confident edge grip, so we stay on the gas through sweeping gravel bends and dusty fire road descents. It's a true race-day tubeless-ready gravel tire made in France for riders chasing podiums and PRs on dry to medium terrain.
