Kraken TLR Racing Lab 127tpi 29in Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I love how alive this tire feels on the trail. The 127 TPI version gives me that extra edge in cornering and comfort on longer rides, and paired with the Race Ripost XC rubber, it sticks where it needs to while staying fast everywhere else."

Crafted for elite-level cross-country and technical trail riding, the Hutchinson Kraken 29in Tubeless Ready tire with 127 TPI casing and Race Ripost XC compound is the gold standard in lightweight, responsive performance. With a high-thread-count casing, this version offers superior flexibility and terrain adaptation, allowing it to maintain contact and control on roots, rock slabs, and uneven trail surfaces without sacrificing speed or efficiency.

The tread layout blends low-profile center knobs for fast-rolling performance with strategically placed, taller edge knobs for controlled cornering and braking. The Race Ripost XC compound delivers race-tuned rebound control with excellent grip across hardpack, mixed, and moderately loose conditions. Ideal for marathon courses, punchy XC trails, and downcountry lines, this Kraken delivers fast-rolling confidence with trail-tested reliability.

If your goal is podium placement or shaving seconds on your favorite loop, the Kraken 127 TPI version gives you the advantage from responsive handling, reduced weight, and an unbeatable grip-to-speed ratio.
