Wyrm Rlab Hardskin 29in Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Wyrm is the tire I run when I want to ride a fast bike on tough trails. It’s smooth and fast on the climbs, but when things get rocky or sketchy, the grip and volume really shine. And the Racing Lab build just feels dialed."

Designed to take the best of XC and trail disciplines and merge them into one race-ready platform, the Hutchinson Wyrm 29in Tubeless Ready Racing Lab tire redefines what a downcountry tire can do. This high-performance tire offers exceptional grip, casing protection, and rolling speed all with the precision and quality expected from Hutchinson’s Racing Lab line.

The center tread features alternating chevrons borrowed from Hutchinson’s fastest XC models, designed to maintain momentum while enhancing braking traction with grooved and chamfered knob edges. Bridges between the central tread blocks improve knob integrity and act as a cohesive braking unit under pressure. Meanwhile, the outer knobs—strategically spaced and staggered—offer progressive side grip that adapts to varying trail surfaces and lean angles. Whether navigating wet roots or hammering dusty switchbacks, the Wyrm offers consistent, confident control.

Underneath, the full Hardskin casing provides protection against sharp rocks and trail debris, while the Race Ripost XC compound maximizes speed and compliance for aggressive climbing and controlled descending. With a volume-rich profile that allows lower pressures and increased trail feel, the Wyrm is a tire made for riders who expect more from every mile.
