Hutchinson has launched the latest evolutions of its Python tire range – the Python Race and Python 3 XC mountain bike tires. In a home-based Olympic year, the French tire brand hopes to deliver another XC gold medal victory saying these new tires will take its best XC tire range into the modern era.
The Hutchinson Python range is already proven at the highest level of elite XC racing since it was first launched in the 1990s. The original tire was ridden to an Olympic gold medal in 1996 by Italian rider Paola Pezzo. The Python also has multiple World Cups and National Championship victories under its belt and is fresh from a podium at the opening round of this year's Whoop UCI World Cup in Mairiporà, Brazil with Savilia Blunk finishing second in the Women's Elite XCO race.
