Description

The tire HUTCHINSON Taipan 29x2,25 Hardskin RaceRipost XC Tubeless Ready soft bead is a model that prioritizes performance, lightness and grip. At ease on mixed, rocky or wet terrain, it ensures good lateral mud evacuation thanks to its V-shaped lug blocks, while providing excellent lateral grip.

This versatile Taipan tire by HUTCHINSON also benefits from the Hardskin textile grid reinforcement in high-strength nylon placed under the tread and on the sidewalls to avoid cuts on angular stones and thus further increase puncture resistance.
Combined with the new RaceRipost XC triple tread compound, this model offers excellent performance in terms of both efficiency and longevity.

It can be used with or without an inner tube, and is ideal for rear-mounted bikes. Cross Country performance-oriented riding.

Reviews

Great all-around tire, front-mounted

"Great all-around tire, fits both front and rear, good grip on dry surfaces and in mud, doesn't add much resistance when pedaling"

Stéphane B. (5/5)

Sturdy, grippy, and versatile for everyone

"Durable, grippy, and versatile enough to handle all kinds of weather conditions."

Pierre M. (5/5)

The All-Rounder

"Great traction on all types of terrain and in all weather conditions. Still needs to be tested on snow. Paired with a Taipan 2.10 on the rear."

Titi88 (5/5)

The best tires

"Fun and high-performance—the tire I've been dreaming of for a long time!"

Anonymous (5/5)

Very versatile

"Fitted with 2.25-inch tires in the front and 2.10-inch tires in the rear. Excellent performance and great traction. (Forest ride with a lot of varied terrain) never had any issues, no flats. Performs just as well on dry surfaces as on wet trails. Tires installed in April. Might switch to a Toro up front for winter, though, since this tire isn’t really designed for winter mud rides."

Smil12 (5/5)

An excellent tire in all conditions

"Hutchinson tires are generally excellent. I have this one on the rear wheel of my hardtail XC mountain bike, paired with a Kraken front tire. The handling, traction, and grip (when climbing steps) are fantastic. I use them year-round in the scrubland."

Focalman (5/5)

A surefire hook

"Excellent grip—the tire isn't very fast, but it more than makes up for it by gripping the ground like no other tire."

Furax77 (5/5)

Versatile and durable

"Excellent traction on all types of terrain. With a very sturdy carcass"

Scrambler (5/5)

Great all-around tires

"Great tires, good grip, and very versatile. I recommend them."

Rico64 (5/5)

Versatile

"The ideal tire for all conditions. The most versatile tire in its class. Naturally, it doesn't roll as easily as others, but for anyone looking for an all-season tire, it's perfect. Easy to set up as a tubeless tire."
