Rolling resistance has been improved by 10% compared to the previous Fusion 5 generation, while offering an increased lifespan of over 4,000 km, placing it at the top of its category. At the heart of the reduction in rolling resistance is Hutchinson's new "SwiftEasy Casing" construction. This new construction sees the 127tpi casing of the tires wrapped around the bead, then directly bonded to a central polyamide puncture protection strip instead of the usual process of layering these layers. A final carcass layer extends from bead to bead to ensure airtightness. The SwiftEasy Casing construction provides a much more flexible contact patch with the road, significantly improving both rolling resistance and comfort. This new compound is a completely new formulation with significantly reduced rolling resistance and high rebound that provides better energy return (+25%) when it comes into contact with the road. Mach Tread 3.0 rubber is also 10% harder than the previous 11Storm rubber, which means that the tire offers increased resistance to tears in the event of cuts from debris and an impressive lifespan of over 4,000 km. These improvements have been made while maintaining the same high levels of grip found in the previous generation of Hutchinson high-performance road tires. The tire has been specifically designed around modern, wider rims, with a tread surface 15% wider than previous generation tires. This, combined with the more flexible SwiftEasy Casing construction, means that the tire's footprint is wider than it is long, allowing for bold cornering and reduced rolling resistance. Note: The 28, 30, 32, and 34 mm TLR versions are compatible with Hookless technology. Details:
